What people are saying about Olbia

Very nice excursion with the friendly boatswain Antonio, who provided us with homemade pastries and drinks. Due to the weather conditions, he changed his plans at short notice and headed for a different destination. At the original location, it would have been too windy for snorkeling. Nevertheless, we found two nice spots and also saw dolphins.

It was a super nice morning and we saw great fish. The group was super relaxed and we were provided with a snack and drinks. Be sure to pack sunscreen! The tour is highly recommended. :)

Wonderful tour with an extremely friendly and competent guide. Time flew by, saw dolphins, 1a snorkeling spots and delicious snacks. Thanks Antonio Tour overall very recommendable!!!!

Top, very nice guide, we were lucky enough to see 5 dolphins - an unforgettable experience and the highlight of the tour

The booking was moved to a different time, but we saw 6 dolphins.
