Duration: 3 hours, 45 minutes
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Blue Way - Sea Excursions - We cross the internal Gulf of Olbia, observing the mussel crops, the mouth of the Padrongianus and the Isola della Bocca lighthouse, and then point the bow towards the Island of Figarolo, about 25 minutes by boat. Once in Figarolo, we begin the dolphin watching in search of dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), who regularly frequent this area attracted by the presence of a fish farm. On the luckiest occasions we can really see them up close as they swim alongside and under the boat. At the end of the dolphin watching we head towards the imposing limestone cliff of Capo Figari, where if the sea conditions permit it is possible to admire the splendid seabed. A second stop is planned to snorkel in the crystal clear waters of Cala Moresca or the island of Figarolo.
What's Included
  • Carbonated beverages
  • Practical guides are available on board for the recognition of marine species
  • Use of snorkeling equipment
Additional Information

Our trips are facilitated via comfortable 7.5-meter dinghies that come equipped with a 250 horsepower engine, and a sun-shade canopy for the passengers’ convenience during travel and stops. They also provide various dry compartments for storing personal items. When observing dolphins, we make sure to minimize interactions so as not to disrupt their natural activities or behaviors (Blue Way is an adherent of the ‘Friend of the Sea Dolphin and Whale Watching’ project and follows the conduct code for sightings). Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are spotted in their natural settings, thus we cannot promise sightings. However, often during our excursions, there’s approximately a 90% chance of encountering them.

Ideal day at sea! - We spent half a day at sea with the best Tito guides! A real pleasure to be taken on this magical coast, several stops to swim, a beautiful encounter with dolphins (several passages to make sure you see them!). Tito was super friendly, good advice, funny it was a great time with family (with a perfect 7 year old). Grazie!

Fab fab trio - This was an amazing trip - I was really nervous about it but I genuinely didn’t need to worry. We saw the dolphins - utterly amazing. We then went snorkelling - such great fun. Everything was so well organised and felt completely at ease.

Thank you very much! - Very welcoming guide, generous, gave interesting explanations, approached dolphins at a reasonable distance (unlike other boats, which passed over them). Snorkeling in clean water. And we even received food and drink (mini homemade pizza, excellent). Our children aged 3.5 to 14 loved it and so did we adults. We leave with wonderful memories, thank you very much!

To do without hesitation - It was great. Dolphin sightings, scuba diving and snorkelling (loaned equipment), swimming, beautiful scenery and small snack. What more can I ask? Our guide Tiziano was super nice and dynamic. Do not hesitate, you will not regret!!

The Magic of the Dolphins - Small group outing, boat tip top, with loan of mask and fins and drinks and small in case. Support with simplicity and respect and gently to approach dolphins. In the open sea and around the fish farm. Great activities, thank you for this magical moment.

Excellent trip! - Excellent choice! Tiziano, the captain, did a wonderful job. We saw dolphins, lots of fish and had a great time. A possibility to shower afterwards was nice (before heading to the airport). Thanks, Blue Way!
