You step onto the Moys Marina pier with salt on your lips and a low hum of conversation from the crew. The boat slips free, the harbor clicks away, and the Tyrrhenian opens like a bright page. Dolphins soon appear—curious silhouettes that loop and launch around the bow, daring you to follow.

You step onto the Moys Marina pier with salt on your lips and a low hum of conversation from the crew. The boat slips free, the harbor clicks away, and the Tyrrhenian opens like a bright page. Dolphins soon appear—curious silhouettes that loop and launch around the bow, daring you to follow.
This stretch of northeastern Sardinia carries layers of history: Phoenician and Roman sailors once saw these same cliffs as navigation points, and the limestone of Capo Figari tells a older geological story of uplifted seabeds and sharp coves. Local guides point out the ‘‘love cave’’ and the vertical faces where seabirds roost; culture here is maritime and spare, built around fishing, boatmaking and aperitivi shared after a day at sea.
The day combines wildlife search and two snorkeling stops—Figarolo Island’s white-sand shallows and Cala Moresca’s fish-rich bay—so expect turquoise visibility, rocky reefs and schools of wrasse. Guides follow strict animal-welfare practices and maintain distance for dolphins; sightings are high but not guaranteed.
Practical notes: the tour lasts about 3.5 hours, departs from Olbia’s Moys Marina, and includes snorkeling gear, a Sardinian aperitif and drinks. Wear quick-dry layers, reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes, and secure a waterproof case for cameras. Seas can be choppy in off-season—check forecasts and arrive with light motion-sickness prevention if you are sensitive. The rhythm of the trip is deliberately relaxed: scan the horizon, dive into clear water, then sit back with a glass and let the coast slide past.
