We had a great time with Andreas and Antonio. We didn’t have a very lucky hand seeing many dolphins but it taught us more about these marine animals and the boat trip was very beautiful. I found the price affordable and we were also able to picnic on the pretty beach of departure.

Our experience with the boat tour from Golfo Aranci was simply extraordinary, one of those days that remain in the heart forever. From the moment of Welcoming, you can feel the professionalism and passion of the team, always smiling, helpful and ready to put everyone at ease. The boat was comfortable, spacious and perfectly maintained, and the excursion took place in total safety. The sea in front of Golfo Aranci gave us incredible shades of turquoise and emerald, with the Gallura coast that framed a breathtaking landscape. The most exciting moment came when, after a few minutes of sailing, we could spot a group of dolphins swimming free and happy next to the boat. It was magical to see these beautiful animals in their natural environment, without any forcing, with the utmost respect for their freedom. The crew has competently explained their habits and the importance of protecting the delicate marine ecosystem. During the trip we also had the opportunity to make stops to admire coves and spectacular views, perfect for some photos or a refreshing dip in the clear waters. Everything was organized in detail, with great attention to the timing and comfort of the participants. An experience that combines nature, adventure and serenity, perfect for couples, families or groups of friends. I highly recommend this tour to those visiting Sardinia: it is the best way to experience the sea in an authentic and respectful way, accompanied by people who really love what they do. A wonderful memory that we will carry with us for a long time. 🐬💙🌞

By boat with Alicio and marine biologist Andrea, we saw the dolphins, baby dolphins that approached the boat. Seen for more than half an hour in their natural environment. Great, unforgettable moment.

A wonderful experience! Captain Maui is a very nice guy. This trip isn't just about watching dolphins. We also saw mouflons and a seagull landed on our boat! Biologist Ludo makes the whole trip more enjoyable by talking about the dolphins.

The dolphin tour in Golfo Aranci was once upon a time. It was beautiful to watch the many dolphins in the evening light. I particularly liked the considerate handling of the animals - we went close to them, the engine of the boat was turned off and the dolphins came to us all by themselves. These were magical moments I will never forget. Thank you!
