Golfo Aranci RIB Tour with Dolphin Watching

A three-hour small-group dinghy adventure along Capo Figari, where wild dolphins and turquoise coves await.


This Golfo Aranci dolphin watching tour takes you aboard a nimble RIB along one of Sardinia's most dramatic stretches of coastline, combining snorkelling in sheltered coves with genuine wildlife encounters in open water.

Departing from the Golfo Aranci seafront, the boat heads toward the rugged promontory of Capo Figari and the small islet of Figarolo, where shallow, clear waters shelter colourful seabeds ideal for snorkelling. The route then continues toward Cala Moresca, a secluded bay framed by Mediterranean scrubland and calm turquoise water.

A resident colony of dolphins has made these waters their permanent home, and the tour dedicates a portion of each trip to observing them at a respectful distance as they swim freely in their natural habitat. The skipper adjusts the itinerary based on sea conditions and the dolphins' movements, keeping the experience both safe and responsible.

With a capacity of just seven passengers, the Alson dinghy keeps the group small, allowing for a relaxed pace and genuine connection with the surrounding landscape. Snorkelling masks and snorkels are provided on board, alongside full safety equipment.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel in the crystalline waters between Figarolo islet and Cala Moresca, exploring vibrant underwater seabeds.

Observe a resident dolphin colony swimming freely in their natural habitat with full respect for their well-being.

Explore the dramatic coastal scenery of Capo Figari aboard a fast and comfortable RIB dinghy.

Travel in a small group of maximum seven passengers for a personalised and unhurried experience.

Choose between a morning or afternoon departure to suit your schedule and the light conditions you prefer.

Snorkelling equipment and all required safety gear are provided on board at no extra charge.
