Must have experienced 😍 - A great experience. Thanks to Francesco and his team. The dolphins came all the way to the boat. 😃😃 We were able to observe them for a long time while the crew made your scientific records. Much has also been taught about the life, behaviour and language of the dolphins. Grazie mille 😃🐬

Memorable, awesome - The 3h boat trip to Capo Caccia was already exceptional, with very interesting scientific explanations about dolphins. Then, thanks to a team member stationed with his binoculars permanently, we had the chance to see dolphins close enough without disturbing them. Thanks to the whole team for their responsible approach, and their sympathy.

Guests of dolphins - Not a ride on a carousel or at the zoo, but an exciting adventure on tiptoe at the home of the dolphins, instructive and enlightening, in full respect of nature. This makes all the difference in being guided by the researchers of Project Nature. Thanks, we'll be back.

Great exerience - The team is awsome, they really doing it with passion and professionalism and they are also nice, cheerful and attentive. And the dolphines too:) We made a big round on the sea and at the end (near to Capo Caccia) we met a pod of dolphines. The adults came near to the boat while the youngers did some back flips a bit further. It was an amazing experience without disturbing them, so if you would like to see dolphings while you respect the nature, then choose Progetto Natura🐬 The next day we went to hiking at Capo Caccia and we saw the dolphins at the same spot from the ground while we ate our sandwiches😁

Dolphin sightings - A great experience, certainly unforgettable. Ideal attention from guides, especially with children. We spotted dolphins on the way back and extended the crossing so we could enjoy the experience.

Fabulous experience - A fantastic experience with Fabio's very clear and interesting explanations to get to know dolphins better and share their passion. We were lucky enough to see two dolphins around the boat for everyone's pleasure (and not just the children). Fabio and Francesco make this excursion a moment of sharing and awareness for young and old! Not to be missed.

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!
