About this tour
Speed across the emerald waters of Golfo di Olbia on a private 7.5-metre boat, weaving past white-sand coves and rocky outcrops. Spot herons, cormorants and gulls along the way, then anchor in a secluded bay for snorkelling amongst colourful reef fish, octopus and starfish. Back aboard, sip local wine and nibble pecorino and crisp carasau bread as you dry off on deck. Three and a half hours of Sardinian coastline without the crowds.

What to expect
You'll board a shaded speedboat and begin a coastal run with sharp turns and good pace—bring a light rash guard if you're sun-sensitive. The captain will navigate tight passages between islands, pausing to point out nesting birds and rock formations. Once in the bay, gear up with mask and fins; the water is transparent and busy with small wrasse, damselfish and the occasional octopus hunting the sandy floor. After 45 minutes in the water, you'll haul out onto warm sand for a breather. Back on deck, the crew sets out local cheese, bread and wine while you relax and take in the quiet landscape. The final leg heads back at a leisurely pace.
Good to know
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a towel. Snorkelling equipment is provided but bring your own if you prefer a familiar fit. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Water shoes help with rocky entries. No toilet on board; use facilities before departure.
