Review of Olbia’s 2.5-hour dolphin watching and snorkeling boat trip, with clear bays, Figarolo Island, small groups, and practical tips.

“Really good trip and highly recommended. Managed to see some dolphins and the snorkelling was like an aquarium. The only thing that needs updating is the meeting point as it’s slightly off but found it in the end. It’s located to the right of the Yacht club as you’re looking at it, look for the black gates and white flags.”

Watch wild dolphins, snorkel near Figarolo and Tavolara, and enjoy a Sardinian snack on this friendly three-hour Olbia boat tour.

“Fantastic trip! We went out to the fish farm but then on spotting some dolphins just away from it we went out and spent 15-20mins with them playing in the wake of the boat. The snorkeling spots were ok, beautifully clear water and some fish but nothing mindblowing-but let's face it this trip is all about the dolphins the snorkeling is just an added bonus”

11.Dolphin watching and snorkeling tour on Figarolo Island

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 60 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $77

Review of Olbia’s Figarolo dolphin and snorkeling tour, with practical details on dolphins, crowds, stops, price, and who should book.

“It is very very very touristic. There are may be 3 or 4 dolphins swimming around the fish farm and about 30-40 boats of different sizes that are trying to follow them….. all at once.. plus about 10-20 canoes. The stop at the island is very crowded. All 40 boats stop there in about the same time plus another 30 other private boats. You only see the fins of the dolphins on the distance of about 25-30 meters a couple of times. It is not strange with so many boats trying to follow them . Waste of time !”
