Wonderful - We just came back from the 3 hour trip with Fabio and the team. I'd highly recommend this, not just as a great experience, but also as a vital learning and reminder of ourselves and the natural world we are all part of. Lauren was excellent at presenting all sorts of important facts and anecdotes, with a clear passion. The work they do is fully funded only by these excursions so, personally I'll also donate separately. Much of the trip is heading out into the bay which is stunning in itself. Whilst there's a high chance of seeing dolphins there's absolutely no guarantee of it. Today we were resigned that we wouldn't, but were then lucky when a couple of females, each with their young, appeared. Thanks again to the team. To anyone else reading this, please do go and support them.

Nice discovery with the kids - We had a very nice moment on the boat with the kids! Fabio explained us a lot about the dolphins in Alghero and we had the chance to see some of them close from the boat! The views are also very nice from the boat.

Wonderful experience - What a wonderful tour! Fabrizio and the team are really passionate and knowledgeable not only about dolphins, but sustainable tourism as well. I really, really liked how they respected the animals so much. I learned a lot, and I loved seeing the dolphins. I would highly recommend them, and I would take their tour again!

Fantastic ! - Very professional, well organized. After the first 90 minutes of the trip, during which we didn't see any dolphins, everyone was a bit nervous. But then!!!! Then they all came and jumped!!!! There was a young animal that did really funny, playful somersaults. Everyone was excited and applauded! A successful trip that will be remembered for a long time. Thank you!!!

What an experience! - Wonderful experience, Fabio and Francesco immediately proved to be extremely professional and helpful. Progetto Natura is not a simple excursion for tourists, it is the story of enthusiasts who want to raise people's awareness of respect for nature and the creatures that inhabit it, through anecdotes, explanations and images. Once the excursion was over we were lucky enough to come across a group of about ten dolphins. Even though the scheduled time had been exceeded, we slowly got closer to be able to admire these splendid animals in their natural habitat. Thank you

Gorgeous ! - A childhood dream finally come true! We were lucky enough to be able to observe quite a few dolphins. What an unforgettable experience. Special mention for the kindness of the crew and the very interesting information from Fabio concerning the dolphins. And what a pleasure to be able to hear the vocalizations of the dolphins around us through headphones. Brief! It was magical and very educational. I recommend with your eyes closed.
