Paddle Sardinia’s coast at sunset, snorkel in clear water, spot Mediterranean dolphins, and enjoy a traditional aperitif from $65.
“Gut war: - Am Schluss die Fahrt zu den Delphinen. - Der Imbiss auf einer der ersten Inseln - Schnorcheln war toll. Besser sein könnte: - Die Beschilderung der Location - Es wurde zu wenig in Englisch erklärt, je nach Guide nur Italienisch. - Bei der Anmeldung wurde ich mehrfach weggeschickt, da keiner den Voucher erkannt oder akzeptiert hat. - Es gab nur ein 3er-Kajak, obwohl bei der Anmeldung klar erkennbar war, dass mehrere „3er“-Familien kommen werden.”

I highly recommend booking with her such a lovely experience and a lovely captain. The experience was worth the amount spent.”
Review of Golfo Aranci’s sunset dolphin cruise on a vintage tugboat, with swimming, SUPs, snorkeling, Sardinian wine, and local food.
“The boat was a sight for itself, the staff super friendly and easygoing, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, we saw the dolphins closeby and had a nice swim as well. Best choice to go by the evening, where the colours by sea are something else and you don’t have to worry about getting sunburnt. Recommend!”
