Overview

Discover the Tavolara and Molara Marine Protected Area with a 7-8 hour sailing excursion, departing daily from the port of Golfo Aranci.

You will navigate to the majestic Island of Tavolara, over 560 meters high and known as the "smallest kingdom in the world," where you can swim in the crystal-clear waters and explore its beautiful bays.

The tour continues towards the famous Molara Pools, famous for their shallow bottoms and turquoise waters. During the navigation, near Capo Figari, it will be possible to spot the dolphins that freely inhabit these waters (sighting not guaranteed).

Three stops are planned, selected by the skipper based on weather and sea conditions, to swim, snorkel, and relax in suggestive coves.

On board awaits you an aperitif with typical Sardinian products and a lunch based on pasta with fish, accompanied by Vermentino, beer, fresh fruit, Sardinian sweets, and myrtle.

An authentic experience between sailing, nature, and relaxation.
