• Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 49 - If you love the sea, don’t let cooler temperatures deter your curiosity! Join us for a three-hour dolphin search. With the expertise of MareTerra NGO researchers, there’s an 80% chance of spotting dolphins.

During the journey, a briefing will be provided to enhance your understanding of dolphin biology, behavior, and conservation status. We proudly hold the High Quality Whale Watching certification. When we encounter a group of dolphins, we prioritize their well-being by approaching them according to the “good code of conduct” of our certification, minimizing any potential disturbance.

Utilizing photo-identification techniques, we can recognize dolphins by their dorsal fins and share their names, ages, and health status with you. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to listen to dolphin sounds, thanks to recordings collected by MareTerra NGO scientists for studying dolphin bioacoustics.

Throughout the navigation, you’ll enjoy the stunning coastline of Sardinia, within the Marine Protected Area Capo Caccia - Isola Piana.

• Marine biologists on board
• Entrance to the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia - Isola Piana
• Certified interpretive nature guides
• Booklets for species identification and other informative material
