Highlights
- Blue Way - Sea Excursions - We cross the internal Gulf of Olbia, observing the mussel crops, the mouth of the Padrongianus and the Isola della Bocca lighthouse, and then point the bow towards the Island of Figarolo, about 25 minutes by boat. Once in Figarolo, we begin the dolphin watching in search of dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), who regularly frequent this area attracted by the presence of a fish farm. On the luckiest occasions we can really see them up close as they swim alongside and under the boat. At the end of the dolphin watching we head towards the imposing limestone cliff of Capo Figari, where if the sea conditions permit it is possible to admire the splendid seabed. A second stop is planned to snorkel in the crystal clear waters of Cala Moresca or the island of Figarolo.
What's Included
- Carbonated beverages
- Practical guides are available on board for the recognition of marine species
- Use of snorkeling equipment
Additional Information
Our trips are facilitated via comfortable 7.5-meter dinghies that come equipped with a 250 horsepower engine, and a sun-shade canopy for the passengers’ convenience during travel and stops. They also provide various dry compartments for storing personal items. When observing dolphins, we make sure to minimize interactions so as not to disrupt their natural activities or behaviors (Blue Way is an adherent of the ‘Friend of the Sea Dolphin and Whale Watching’ project and follows the conduct code for sightings). Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are spotted in their natural settings, thus we cannot promise sightings. However, often during our excursions, there’s approximately a 90% chance of encountering them.

fantastic trip - Tito was really nice and relaxed. Dolphins showed up to follow a fishing boat and were swimming behind us, following the waves very playfully. It was a fantastic trip!

Great experience! - Superb excursion! We thank our great guide Tito and his good humor for making us experience this incredible moment. We saw several dolphins, 5 were swimming together at times and we were lucky enough to see them jump! Swimming in the turquoise water among a school of oblades followed by refreshments was great too. We recommend without hesitation!

Incredible stroll on the Mediterranean with dolphins and its idyllic landscapes! - Thanks to our great guide Tito for this boat trip in the crystal clear and turquoise waters. We had very good weather with magnificent sunshine. Very pleasant moment to share as a couple or with friends! This excursion allowed us to see the dolphins several times, 4 in total and at times quite close to us. Tito showed us the different sides of the island, its beaches and its beautiful places. It was wonderful! We stopped at the water's edge to do a few jumps with snorkel and glasses to enjoy the beauty of the water and its fish.
On the way back, we had a cold aperitif.
If we had to do it again, we would!

Definitely worth the money! Highly recommended!👍🏻 - A very exciting and thrilling experience. We thought we are not going to see the dolphins but the tour guide kept our hopes up and was good at spotting the dolphins. Highly recommended the tour guide named Tito I think. He was brilliant in handling the boat and creating waves for the dolphins to chase after.

Perfect - Alright. Despite the fact that it was cloudy and a little cold we were able to see dolphins on several occasions. Tito was kind and very welcoming. He still gave us the possibility of snorkeling even with the weather lending us outfits against the cold. The landscapes seen were magnificent. I recommend 100%

Gorgeous ! - It was fantastic. The guide, driver of the boat, did everything to ensure that we made the most of the dolphins and the place we were visiting. It was a very good experience, especially thanks to our guide who knew how to get as close as possible to the dolphins. He even served us a little snack with the taste of Sardinia.
