Highlights

Embarking from the sandy shores of Baia Aranzos hotel, a mere 5-minute voyage will bring you to Figarolo Island, nestled between the headland of Capo Figari and the Golfo Aranci. This area has been the favored abode of a group of bottlenose dolphins for over a decade. Near Figarolo Island, a fish farm exists. Here, great quantities of sea bass and sea bream are cultivated in enormous underwater cages. The profusion of these fish entices the dolphins who come looking for a meal. As you skim the waters near the island and the farm, your odds of sighting these dolphins are remarkably high. Our expert guides will educate you about the unique traits and behaviours of these fascinating creatures.

Great trip with these... - Great trip with these guys. Captain and sea biologist were funny and told us a Lot of infos about dolphins and the environment around. We were lucky to see them near our boat because they were curious but its possible to see them just from distance-its OK guys dont be dissapointed they are wild animals. After all - great afternoon on see with family for reasonable price. Thumbs up!

For me it was an exciting experience, because I saw these mammals from a short distance. - We enjoyed a wonderful view and were able to observe many dolphins, managing to immortalize the jump of two of them. The contribution of Antonello, the driver, and Giulia, the guide, was fundamental. Both enriched our knowledge with their information both on the dolphins and on the natural scenery (Figarolo, Tavolara, Cala Moresca and Golfo Aranci).

Worth taking/experiencing the free dolphins watching 😁 - Clarissa and Mario offered us a great dolphin 🐬🐬 watching experience 😉. We really enjoyed it and we're happy ofc, that we got to see some of them. Both were really good with explaining and patiencing with both ENG, ITA & FRE tourists. Not depending of them two, but maybe the cancellation policy could be more flexible as we were missing a family member due to health issues and we could not get a refund.

Ocean Mammals At Their Best, - WOW, I cannot recommend this trip enough, from the 2 hosts that took us out on the boat Julia a marine biologist & Giorgio who were fantastic and very knowledgeable of the dolphins and the area to seeing the dolphins that we saw and we managed to see so many we lost count. You will not be disappointed I can promise you that. ✌️🤗

Beautiful tour! Nice experience! - It was amazing! Dolphins spotted, good and detailed explanation by Adriana! And thanks to Adriana and the female "skipper", I think Sabine, it was a super fun experience! Not too much effort to sail again and again to the place where the dolphins were seen. Beautiful tour around the island of Figarolo! Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience - Wonderful experience, which captain Sabina and our guide Giulia made even more special! We managed to see many dolphins up close, always respecting their spaces, thanks to the skill and knowledge of the captain and the strong passion of the guide (marine biologist). An experience to definitely repeat! Thank you!

Amazing experience - A must do! - The dolphin watching experience was smooth sailing from initial booking to the end of the experience! Instructions and reminders of the booking were clear and on the day Julia and Sabine were amazing and looked after us brilliantly on board! The boat felt very safe under Sabine’s control and was easy to get on and off. Julia was excellent at spotting the dolphins and gave us lots of information about their behaviours and the area they live in. We saw lots of dolphins who seemed very happy and at play which was really special. Would 100% recommend and was the perfect amount of time on board.

Great - all expectations met! - A good tour, we saw a lot of dolphins, especially since our guides Marco and Julia took the time they needed. We sailed through the bay for 1.5 hours and also got a lot of useful information about the coast and the island in front of it. It's definitely worth it, a great experience! Thank you!
