What to expect

This tour is dedicated to the search for dolphins. Thanks to the presence on board of a group of researchers, the chance of spotting dolphins is estimated at 80%, a very high probability for such elusive animals.

During the navigation, the researchers will tell you all the curiosities about the life of these animals. You'll know about the scientific discoveries about the local dolphin population that researchers have been following since 2012. Having sighted the dolphins, the researchers will approach respecting the Code of Conduct HQWW® (High-Quality Whale Watching) they adopted to minimize the risk of any disturbance due to boat presence.

During the sighting, the researchers will collect data and the behavior of the dolphins will be explained. You will be able to listen to the sounds they use to communicate, thanks to the recordings made during bioacoustic studies. Thanks to the photo-identification technique, researchers can recognize dolphins by their dorsal fin and tell you their names, how old they are and other curiosities about their life.

During the excursion, you will admire one of the most beautiful coasts of Sardinia. You will stop in the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia - Isola Piana to discover the magnificent underwater world and its inhabitants with guided snorkeling. Do not have much experience with snorkeling? The researchers will accompany you and will give you guidance in the water.

Market day in Bosa with Guided Tour

The pretty fishing village of Bosa is just a short scenic drive along the coast from Alghero. It's considered one of the most beautiful Sardinia's seaside retreats. And on this excursion, you'll have plenty of time to explore the handicraft market and old town, sit down for some lunch and soak up the laidback vibe. Valentina, one of our expert local guides, says, 'Apart from the castle, river and colourful houses climbing the hillside, Bosa is also famous for its Malvasia wine. It's a good bet if you are looking for a local variety to try with lunch.'As soon as you set foot in Bosa, you'll feel as if you've been transported back in time. Pastel-coloured houses flank the River Temo and character infuses every square centimetre. Lording it over the town is the hilltop Malaspina Castle – also known as Castello di Serravalle - which while a shell of its former glory boasts a remarkable medieval chapel adorned with fragile frescoes. Valentina adds, 'The oldest part of town is near the river. It wasn't until the castle was built that people chose to live away from the river, hoping for protection from the castle.'You'll enjoy a guided tour of the town to discover some of its secrets, and then free time to be able to browse the stalls at the weekly market where artisans and locals sell their own produce and goods. You'll also have time to find a restaurant to tuck into a local lunch, if you like. There's no rushing around on this tour, so you'll truly experience authentic Sardinia.

Neptune’s Caves Boat Tour
Excursions & day trips

Neptune’s Caves Boat Tour

It may be named after the Roman god of the sea – but Neptune's Grotto was discovered only a couple of hundred years ago. Hidden just above the water level at the base of the towering and remote Capo Caccia cliffs, the grotto is one of Sardinia's most dramatic natural attractions.After sailing from the harbour, you'll pass rugged coastline before reaching the grotto in under an hour. On arrival, you can choose whether to go in to Neptune's Grotto or not. If you do, you'll see stalactites biting down like incisors from the roof of the cave and stalagmites stabbing up from the floor like daggers, and a saltwater lake that stretches out for 120 metres – all while having the geology expertly brought to life by your local guide.If you choose not to take the subterranean tour, you can stay on board basking in the sunshine. Either option is a great way to spend some time before a leisurely trip back to port.
