About this tour
Speed across the Porto Conte and Capo Caccia Marine Protected Area in a rigid inflatable boat, then slip beneath the surface to explore Sardinia's underwater world. This three-hour tour launches from Alghero's northwest coast with a certified environmental guide who navigates you past the dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden caves whilst pointing out marine life in crystalline waters. Snorkelling gear and instruction included.

- Snorkel above rocky reefs and meadows of Posidonia seagrass
- Palombi cave exploration on Foradada island
- Expert local guide shares geology and marine ecology
- Small group intimacy—maximum 12 passengers per boat
What to expect
You'll board a nimble rigid inflatable with your guide and fellow snorkellers, racing across open water toward towering sandstone formations. The boat slows at designated spots where you'll kit up and descend into gin-clear shallows teeming with wrasse, grouper, and octopus sheltering in crevices. The guide points out ecological features—sea urchins, soft corals, ancient Posidonia beds—whilst keeping the group cohesive. You'll motor past sea caves and inaccessible beaches before returning to port. Expect salt spray, a moderate pace in the water, and genuine solitude despite being guided.
