Highlights

Embarking from the sandy shores of Baia Aranzos hotel, a mere 5-minute voyage will bring you to Figarolo Island, nestled between the headland of Capo Figari and the Golfo Aranci. This area has been the favored abode of a group of bottlenose dolphins for over a decade. Near Figarolo Island, a fish farm exists. Here, great quantities of sea bass and sea bream are cultivated in enormous underwater cages. The profusion of these fish entices the dolphins who come looking for a meal. As you skim the waters near the island and the farm, your odds of sighting these dolphins are remarkably high. Our expert guides will educate you about the unique traits and behaviours of these fascinating creatures.

Adjacent to the island of Figarolo, a fish farm operates, rearing large amounts of sea bass and sea bream in expansive cages. These fish serve as a lure, drawing the dolphins who are on the hunt for a meal. The probability of seeing dolphins around this island and the fishery is quite high.

Great experience - The boat trip to see the dolphins was a great success. We saw lots of dolphins, who even showed us their tricks and swam under our boat. The guides were very nice and gave us lots of information about the dolphins. Our children are still talking about it. Highly recommended!

What a blast! We saw lots of dolphins - We had an amazing trip with Clarissa and Sabina! We saw lots of dolphins, one with a little baby. We were really lucky as they played around the boat and jumped a lot. Around Figarolo Island we saw Mufflons, seagulls and herons. It was no Problem to take our 10 month old baby on the trip. Sabina was very good in spotting the dolphins and taking us there without disturbing the mammals and Clarissa taught us a lot about this amazing creatures! We had a blast and can only recommend to take a trip with DST!

Really great experience!!!!!! - The guides were very nice and informative, most of them are students marine biology. So we always stayed a respectful distance from the dolphins to not stress or scare them. Such a great experience. We even got free drinks on board.

Great! - It was a beautiful tour. We saw dolphins within the first 15 minutes of our tour even thought they were most likely sleeping. Our guides Francesca and Sabina did a great job explaining and pointing out the dolphins. In general the tour was beautiful, so I would totally recommend. We also always kept a safe distance from the dolphins which was very important to me.

Dolphin watching - A very suitable excursion for adults and children. We opted for the 90 minute dolphin watching tour. I arranged the booking online which was a very quick and easy process. The tour started in the morning at 09.00 am, after a short sail we were immediately greeted by a dolphin together with a little one. Seeing the dolphins in person is truly magical. Our daughters were also very impressed. All in all, the tour lasted more than 90 minutes and we actually only saw dolphins passing by. during the tour we were updated by the tour leaders about the dolphins and their way of life. It was a great morning. Thank you DST!
