Full description
Beautiful documentaries, but live is even better. Join us and come and see the dolphins in the Gulf of Olbia!
In the company of a skipper, you will sail to Figarolo Island, where it is easy to admire the dolphins that inhabit these waters. Between sightings, there will be time to dive into the waters of Cala Moresca or Cala Terrata.
Two and a half hours on board an inflatable boat, chasing the spectacle of nature!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Olbia (SS) . We will be welcomed by the skipper who will accompany us on this adventure in the Sardinian sea!
Once all the participants have gathered, a short briefing will take place during which the skipper will explain the rules of the boat and provide all the useful information for a carefree experience.
After about 30 minutes of sailing in the Gulf of Olbia, we will reach the Figarolo Island area. Here the real adventure will begin: we will idle the engines and sharpen our sights! The odds are on our side (around 70-80% success rate) , as dolphins love to frequent these waters. We will stay in the area for about 30-40 minutes, hoping to see that unmistakable fin slicing through the water.
After the thrill of the sighting, it will be time to cool off. We will move on to Cala Moresca or Cala Terrata (at the skipper's discretion and depending on weather and sea conditions) , for a swim stop of about 40 minutes.
Finally, we will sail back to Olbia for another 30 minutes. The activity will last a total of 2½ hours.
