Capo Figari, located along Sardinia’s northeastern coast near Olbia, offers one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating marine environments. Here, Ecosport Sardinia invites up to six guests aboard a sleek 7-meter inflatable boat powered by a 145hp engine for a private journey through secluded bays, shimmering waters, and vibrant underwater worlds. This three-hour adventure is more than a boat ride—it’s a chance to witness wild dolphins in their natural habitat while floating through some of Italy’s clearest sea.
Departing from Marina di Cugnana, your experience is led by a knowledgeable local captain fluent in English, ensuring smooth navigation and insightful commentary throughout the trip. The boat stops two or three times to dive into the crystalline waters, equipped with snorkeling masks included for guests to observe colorful fish darting among rocks and underwater flora.
A highlight of the tour is the traditional Sardinian aperitif served on board, a moment of relaxation while rocking gently on the Mediterranean waves with panoramic views of rugged coastline cliffs carved from limestone. Each excursion includes souvenir photographs, capturing your encounters with dolphins—a frequent but never guaranteed sighting—alongside the vivid coastal scenery.
What sets Ecosport Sardinia apart is their focus on intimate, personalized outdoor experiences that connect visitors directly to Capo Figari’s marine richness. The combination of private access, a skilled captain, and authentic local flavors creates a singular way to understand Sardinia’s coastal environment beyond the usual tourist routes.
Beyond the dolphins and snorkel stops, the area is rich with diverse sea life and striking geological formations shaped by millennia of erosion and natural forces, providing a layered story of the Mediterranean’s ecological and cultural heritage. For travelers seeking a curated marine adventure, this private boat tour delivers thoughtful immersion with practical comfort and unforgettable moments on Sardinia’s sunlit sea.
