Guided Snorkeling at Tavolara and Molara from Puntaldia or San Teodoro
Explore the protected waters of northeastern Sardinia aboard a rigid inflatable dinghy with an expert guide at your side.
This snorkeling tour in the Tavolara Marine Protected Area takes you beneath the surface of one of the most ecologically significant stretches of sea in the Mediterranean, where walleye and damselfish move through water so clear it seems almost invisible.
Departing from Marina di Puntaldia near San Teodoro, the trip covers two distinct snorkeling sites across three hours, combining underwater exploration with dramatic coastal scenery. The route also includes a visit to the Forno Cave on the island of Proratora, adding a geological dimension to the marine experience.
All core equipment is provided, making this an accessible outing for participants with no prior diving experience. The boat, an 8-metre Lomac inflatable with a Honda 240 engine, accommodates up to 22 passengers and is equipped with an awning and climbing ladder for comfortable entries and exits from the water.
The guided format ensures that swimmers of varying ability levels can engage with the underwater environment safely, while the expert commentary adds ecological context to what participants observe beneath the surface.
