Summer Tour: Dolphin Watching and Guided Snorkeling
» Sardinia » Sardinia » Sardinia
Live a day as a researcher with the scientists of MareTerra NGO. All your curiosities about dolphins will be satisfied. Observe the researchers as they collect scientific data to study the bottlenose dolphin population of the Gulf of Alghero. Discover the stories of some of the most famous dolphins like Suzeo, Taz or Shark Junior.
During snorkelling, you'll have a guide who will take you to discover underwater life. On board, we'll tell you some curiosities about what we have seen. You will never be alone!
Our excursions are inspired by the principles of ecotourism and sustainability:
- Latest generation boat engines reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of noise underwater.
- HQWW certification (High Quality Whale Watching) for whale watching operators complying with the Code of Good Conduct. This serves to reduce and minimize the disturbance of cetaceans.
- Environmental education on board.
- By joining Progetto Natura, you can support MareTerra NGO and its scientific research and conservation projects.

There was French, Welsh, German and Italian guests on board - max 12 guests.
Booking online was easy and the meeting point was very easy to find with the pdf they send you.
Italian and English spoken by the crew.
Francesco was our lead, with a team of 3 other people from UK, Netherlands and Turkey (all knowledgable, highly educated in the field and helpful).
Departure and arrival was on time.
During the trip, the team kept us briefed and informed about what they do for research and about the dolphins. Very insightful.
You go spotting for the dolphins to start and then go snorkelling, in water upto 4 metres deep. Your guide is always there, with a crew mate, and always pointing interesting sea-life out.
Great customer service all afternoon. They are not just another boat tour! These people do research into the dolphins and their patterns of behaviour. They are also trying to protect the environment.
Would definitely recommend.
Many thanks to the team.
If you really want to save dolphins, stop eating fish.
