È garantito l'avvistamento dei delfini?

Non possiamo garantirlo — i delfini sono animali selvatici e liberi. Quello che garantiamo è la rotta giusta, il momento della giornata con le probabilità più alte e uno skipper che conosce queste acque. Nel caso in cui non ci sia avvistamento, il tour prosegue comunque verso Tavolara e Molara. Storicamente l'avvistamento avviene nella grande maggioranza delle uscite.

A che distanza si vedono i delfini?

Dipende dal giorno. Spesso seguono la prua del gommone a pochi metri, alcune volte si avvicinano ancora di più. È un incontro in ambiente naturale — ogni uscita è diversa.

È adatta anche ai bambini?

Sì, le escursioni sono perfette per le famiglie. L'avvistamento dei delfini è un'esperienza indimenticabile per i bambini. I gommoni della rete sono dotati di aiuti al galleggiamento.

La partenza è dalla penisola di Capo Coda Cavallo (San Teodoro). Il punto d'imbarco esatto dipende dall'operatore assegnato: dopo la prenotazione lo skipper ti contatta per confermare il ritrovo.

Cosa succede se il meteo è brutto?

Se le condizioni non permettono l'uscita, non si parte. La piattaforma ti avvisa la sera prima. Puoi riprogrammare su un'altra data o ricevere rimborso completo. Nessuna penale.

Dolphin Watching in Sardinia — Golfo Aranci & Tavolara

The experience

Open water, and then they arrive

"You don't see them straight away. First you feel something in the air. Then the fin. Then they're everywhere."

Golfo Aranci is one of the busiest natural corridors for dolphins anywhere in the Mediterranean. Early in the morning, with the sea still flat, a window opens that few people know how to find — but dolphins are worth looking for in the afternoon too, and we run both.

After the sighting the route bends towards the islands: Tavolara, Molara, the best bays on this coast. A trip that pays twice over — the wildlife and the landscape, in the same day.

🐬

An honest promise: we cannot guarantee a sighting — the sea is free and so are they. What we do guarantee is the right route, a skipper who knows these waters, and the hour of the day when the odds are best. And if they don't show, you have still spent an extraordinary morning at sea.

🐬 The moment

Dolphin sighting

Golfo Aranci is one of the stretches of sea most used by bottlenose dolphins in the Mediterranean. Your skipper knows the areas and the hours. When they come, you stop — often they follow the bow, jump, play with the wake. Close enough to hear them breathe.

⛵ Under way

Figarolo island and on to Tavolara

After the sighting you head back past Figarolo — a small uninhabited rock protected as a nature reserve — then towards the unmistakable outline of Tavolara rising on the horizon. From here the route follows the classic tour.

🏝 The islands

Tavolara

Coming back you reach Tavolara first: along the south face — the vertical wall that drops straight into the blue — then Spalmatore di Terra, the only inhabited part of the island.

🏊 Swim stop

Molara's natural pools

The last stop, and the one people wait for: the shallow, transparent water off Molara, a few metres deep, fish all around you. You swim, you snorkel, you forget the time — one last dive before heading in.

Routes can change depending on the sea and the day.

Common questions

Anything you're unsure about?

Are dolphin sightings guaranteed? +

No, and we won't pretend otherwise — dolphins are wild animals in open water. What we guarantee is the right route, the hour of day with the best odds, and a skipper who knows these waters. If they don't appear, the trip carries on to Tavolara and Molara.

How close do the dolphins come? +

It depends on the day. They often follow the bow a few metres away, and sometimes come closer still. It's an encounter in the wild — every trip is different.

Is it suitable for children? +

Yes — these trips are made for families. Seeing dolphins in the wild is something children remember for years. The boats in our network carry buoyancy aids for smaller passengers.

Where do we leave from? +

Departures are from the Capo Coda Cavallo peninsula, near San Teodoro. The exact boarding point depends on which operator you're matched with: once you've booked, your skipper contacts you to confirm where to meet.

What happens if the weather is bad? +

If conditions don't allow the boat out, it doesn't go out. We tell you the evening before. You can move to another date or take a full refund. No penalty.
