Dolphin Watching by RIB: a unique experience between Golfo Aranci and Figarolo Island
Experience the magic of dolphin encounters with our exclusive RIB tours for cetacean watching, organised by Cala Brandinchi Escursioni. Our excursions depart from the beautiful Cala Brandinchi to reach the Golfo Aranci area and Figarolo Island, one of the most fascinating places in the north-east of Sardinia, known for its high probability of spotting dolphins in the wild. Accompanied by expert skippers and naturalist guides, you will be able to admire these magnificent marine mammals up close in their natural habitat as they swim, jump, and play in groups in the transparent waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Dolphins at Figarolo: an extraordinary natural phenomenon
Figarolo Island is located between the Capo Figari promontory and the port of Golfo Aranci, in a picturesque and still unspoilt landscape. Near the island, there is a large marine aquaculture facility where bass and gilthead bream are farmed in huge floating cages. This abundant presence of fish regularly attracts dolphins, which approach the area in search of food, making sightings very frequent, especially in the early morning hours. During the silent, eco-friendly RIB navigation, you will have the chance to observe the dolphins up close, particularly the bottlenose dolphins, one of the most common species in these waters. You will also hear explanations from the guide on board, who will describe their habits, social behaviour, and the importance of protecting these creatures.
An authentic experience that respects nature
The dolphin-watching boat tours are designed to offer an authentic, exciting, and environmentally respectful experience. On board our comfortable and safe boats, we welcome small groups to ensure a personalised and immersive experience.
