Beautiful boat trip with dolphins - A beautiful boat trip along the coast of Alghero. We saw many dolphins and learned some interesting thing about the species. The crew was really nice and we felt comfortable throughout the entire trip. Definitely recommended!

Nice time in Alghero - Very nice time on the water. Fabio was an encyclopedia of Dolphin information and also very passionate and at times funny. I learned quite a bit on the tour. We saw dolphins quite a few times. I wish they were jumping out of the water, but this is real nature and they're not around to entertain us. The group on the boat were all pretty happy with our experience. Of course. We had calm waters, a nice boat, great guide, sunshine, beautiful views and we saw dolphins.

Dolphin watching and snorkeling - Chose this excursion instead because the experience around the cave is rumored as a tourist-scam. Fantastic guides for both dolphins and snorkeling. We got to see both moray eels, octopus and smaller fish species on the snorkeling that I understood was in a nature protected area in the sea. We also got to see the last half hour of the tour when we were actually on our way home so they took extra time beyond the fixed time to follow a rumor that a dolphin was spotted near the maria pia beach which was very appreciated.

Must have experienced 😍 - A great experience. Thanks to Francesco and his team. The dolphins came all the way to the boat. 😃😃 We were able to observe them for a long time while the crew made your scientific records. Much has also been taught about the life, behaviour and language of the dolphins. Grazie mille 😃🐬

Memorable, awesome - The 3h boat trip to Capo Caccia was already exceptional, with very interesting scientific explanations about dolphins. Then, thanks to a team member stationed with his binoculars permanently, we had the chance to see dolphins close enough without disturbing them. Thanks to the whole team for their responsible approach, and their sympathy.

Guests of dolphins - Not a ride on a carousel or at the zoo, but an exciting adventure on tiptoe at the home of the dolphins, instructive and enlightening, in full respect of nature. This makes all the difference in being guided by the researchers of Project Nature. Thanks, we'll be back.

Great exerience - The team is awsome, they really doing it with passion and professionalism and they are also nice, cheerful and attentive. And the dolphines too:) We made a big round on the sea and at the end (near to Capo Caccia) we met a pod of dolphines. The adults came near to the boat while the youngers did some back flips a bit further. It was an amazing experience without disturbing them, so if you would like to see dolphings while you respect the nature, then choose Progetto Natura🐬 The next day we went to hiking at Capo Caccia and we saw the dolphins at the same spot from the ground while we ate our sandwiches😁

Dolphin sightings - A great experience, certainly unforgettable. Ideal attention from guides, especially with children. We spotted dolphins on the way back and extended the crossing so we could enjoy the experience.

Fabulous experience - A fantastic experience with Fabio's very clear and interesting explanations to get to know dolphins better and share their passion. We were lucky enough to see two dolphins around the boat for everyone's pleasure (and not just the children). Fabio and Francesco make this excursion a moment of sharing and awareness for young and old! Not to be missed.
