    What you will do

    • Stop 1

      At 25 minutes by boat from the port of Olbia, we will arrive at Figarolo Island. Near the island there is a fish farm of sea bream and sea bass. The presence of food for farmed fish, attracts other fish in the wild and that is why often the dolphins in the area use it as a hunting area. It will then be possible to see the dolphins inside the demarcated fish area, but it will also be possible that they will be spotted outside and then in the open sea, where you can admire them more closely and in their playful evolutions. Remember that we are in nature and not in an aquarium, so the presence or absence of dolphins, at certain times of the day, is DAta by their will or not (even if the possibility of sighting is very high).

      It is a colony of about 10/14 dolphins, but it is rare to see them all together.
