Chasing Dolphins off Capo Figari: A Private Morning Afloat from Olbia.
A short morning run along the limestone headland of Capo Figari sets the scene: a private inflatable skims between rocky coves and open water as the captain searches the dolphin area, makes two or three stops in crystalline bays for snorkeling, and lays out a typical Sardinian aperitif while souvenir photos collect the moments. The outing is delivered by a professional local captain and is sized for small groups—private for up to six guests.
