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

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.

    L'Area Naturale Marina Protetta Tavolara - Punta Coda Cavallo

    We will continue sailing towards the Island of Tavolara, where we will stop for a little over an hour to swim in the splendid turquoise waters and visit the island and its beaches. Here you will have the opportunity to discover the fascinating stories related to the famous "King of Tavolara." Tavolara, known as the smallest kingdom in the world, emerges from the sea like an imposing colossus of limestone and granite, reaching 560 meters in height and 4 km in length. Its rocky walls, imposing and dizzying, alternate with the colors of the Mediterranean scrub, among juniper, rosemary, and lentisk, creating a suggestive contrast with the infinite azure and emerald shades of the sea. The island gives its name to the Marine Protected Area that surrounds it. During the stop you can swim, snorkel and enjoy a pleasant aperitif on board, with a selection of typical Sardinian products accompanied by an excellent local Vermentino.

Here you can have a truly evocative experience: we will have lunch on board, immersed in the turquoise waters of this stretch of sea between the island and the coast. The extraordinary transparency of the water and its incredible shades of blue and emerald will take your breath away, giving you a unique and unforgettable scene.

    During the return navigation, weather conditions permitting, the captain will choose a final beautiful bay to take a regenerating swim. The choice will fall between the wonderful bays of Porto Istana, Cala Girgolu, the Three Sisters of Capo Ceraso, or Cala Moresca, depending on the wind and sea conditions. The relaxing return trip will also be an opportunity to look for dolphins, which often come to visit us in this stretch of sea. Their sighting is not guaranteed: they are wild animals and we want them to remain so!
