Departure from the port of Portisco with an initial bathing stop in the waters between the Costa Smeralda and the islands of Mortorio, Soffi and Le Camere.

We then continue to the promontory of Capo Figari to admire its imposing cliffs and with about 15 to 20 minutes of sailing we reach the waters off the bay of Golfo Aranci.

This area, more commonly known as the Gulf of Dolphins, is characterised by the presence of a large colony of dolphins that populate and cheer up these waters. Since dolphins live in absolute freedom, sightings cannot be guaranteed, generally the probability of seeing dolphins is 90%.

The trip has a high environmental and naturalistic value because in addition to dolphin watching, you can admire the majestic limestone cliffs of Capo Figari and the wild nature of Figarolo Island and Cala Moresca. Sightings of mouflons, herons and tufted marrones are also frequent.

Nautical Service adheres to the 'Gulf of Dolphins' project promoted by Worldrise, which ensures that the sighting excursion is carried out in a sustainable manner and adapted to the needs of the animals.

The operators who will accompany you on this wonderful experience adopt a precise code of behaviour and act responsibly and with total respect for the environment. Among the rules that are adopted are the maintenance of correct safety distances and the appropriate speed of navigation.

During this tour it is not possible to swim with the dolphins and feeding them is not allowed to preserve their health. You will take many photographs and discover many interesting facts about these incredible marine mammals.

Will we definitely see dolphins?
There is no absolute certainty of spotting dolphins because they live free, but the chances are very high. We who live in this area see them every day.

Can I take a bath during the trip?

Of course, there are stops during the trip to swim in the most beautiful bays and at the most characteristic places. Please note, however, that swimming with dolphins is not permitted.

I am on holiday with my dog and would like to take him with me, may I?

Of course, small animals are welcome as long as they are well-behaved. We encourage you, for the well-being of your pet, to bring everything it might need on board.

Where can I park?
At the entrance to the port you will find free parking spaces.

• Bring a swimming costume and a towel if you wish to bathe
• Don't forget a hat and sun cream
• Depending on the time you choose to make the trip, we recommend that you bring a sweatshirt/wind jacket, which may be useful during the return trip
