What to expect

Take part in a dolphin watching excursion accompanied by a marine biologist.

You'll set sail from Bados towards the island of Figarolo. Here, you can watch bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. With a bit of luck, you might even see them doing acrobatic leaps and playing! Note that these dolphins are wild animals and therefore sightings cannot be guaranteed, nor is it possible to predict in advance where exactly they will be or how many will be sighted.

An expert marine biologist will be with you all the way, giving you information about these amazing animals.

The "Shared tour" and "Private tour" options also include one or two swim stops. A R.I.B. tour around the dramatic cliffs of Capo Figari, Figarolo and Cala Moresca, some of the most beautiful spots along the Sardinian coast, is included with both the half-day options. Information handouts in several languages (Italian, English, French, German and Spanish) will be provided on board for your convenience.
