Antonio and Barbara were... - Antonio and Barbara were great. We don’t normally do group tours/experiences but scheduled this at the last minute. It ended up being a highlight. Would certainly recommend to others.

Tour super - Consigliatissimo! Tour nelle acque blu cristalline di Cagliari, ben organizzato, con skipper super che ci ha fornito molte informazioni turistiche. Abbiamo nuotato tra pesci, raggiunto calette difficilmente accessibili senza barca, entrati in una grotta (grazie alla torcia fornitaci dalla skipper) e avvistato delfini. Ottima esperienza

Antonio is the best - Antonio was the skipper on our boat and he was funny and knowledgable on our boat tour. He was also considerate and took care to place the pregnant member of our group in the most gentle spot on the boat. He also fed the fish so we could see them all come up to the boat. Overall a great trip - however one thing i would mention is that the trip is best for people who can swim freely as they dock away from the beach so if you are not confident in swimming you may just stay on the boat as they appear to have life jackets.

Highly recommended! - We highly recommend this boat tour! Although the weather was not perfect the organizers took great care of us and made sure our experience was the best possible. The hosts were very kind and we had a great chat during one of our stops. The views were great and the swimming spots were well-chosen. We had a chance to swim to a nearby cave and watch some sea life. The aperitif was great, we were served with even more than we could eat.

Great fun - We had a lovely afternoon out on the boat, we stopped at 4 spots to snorkel and had great fun jumping off the boat and seeing lots of fish. The water was a little choppy when we were not in the bays for swimming and it was fun as Antonio sped over the waves. Felt safe at all times and there were life jackets if we wanted them. Only feedback we would like to give is that we were not able to join in some of the conversations and discussions that the skipper was having with the group as he was speaking Italian. Some of these conversations were about the local scenery and history as he was pointing to old buildings on the cliffs. Note we did book an English speaking tour but the majority of guests spoke Italian. It didn’t take away from the day but something to be aware of.
