Full description
Some people choose the sailboat, some the dinghy, some the yacht. You, on the other hand, will be able to say: "I have been on a historical tugboat!".
Aboard Lupo an enjoyable day of sailing between the Molara Natural Pools and the Tavolara Protected Marine Area awaits you.
Dolphins on the horizon, seabeds to discover, a Sardinian aperitif and lunch will be the ingredients that will make every minute of this adventure memorable!
What we will do
The rendezvous is 15 minutes before the indicated time in Golfo Aranci (SS). The captain and hostess will welcome us on board the tugboat Lupo, a fully restored historical vessel.
The day will begin with coffee and Sardinian macaroons, before heading to the islet of Figarolo and Cala Moresca, where it is often possible to spot dolphins swimming near the boats.
We will then continue to theisland of Tavolara, which rises from the sea with its white granite and limestone cliffs. Here we will stop for about 1 hour to swim, snorkel around the boat, and enjoy an aperitif with Sardinian products such as salami, cheese, and pane carasau bread.
The navigation will continue towards the Piscine Naturali di Molara, one of the most magnificent stretches of sea in Sardinia. We will stop here for about 2 hours, relaxing between snorkelling and swimming from the boat. This will also be the time to enjoy our lunch: a first course of fresh fish and typical Sardinian desserts, accompanied by Vermentino wine, beer, soft drinks, and water.
In the afternoon, we will visit onelast cove of the captain's choice, e.g. Porto Istana, Cala Girgolu or the Three Beaches of Capo Ceraso, for another swimming stop of about 1 hour. During the return trip, we will have a snack of fruit and myrtle to end our tour on a sweet note.
The activity will last a total of 8 hours.
