How do I choose between the different boat and kayak experiences?

Start with how you want to be on the water. Kayak tours suit active travellers and get you close to the surface, while boat tours cover more ground and often add snorkeling stops. Check the duration and departure point: some trips leave from Golfo Aranci, others from Olbia, and longer excursions may include Tavolara and tastings.

Do I need experience to join a kayak or snorkeling tour?

No prior experience is needed for the standard kayak and snorkeling departures in this area. Guides brief you on paddling technique and provide the equipment, and routes stay within sheltered gulf waters. Basic swimming confidence helps for snorkeling stops.

About Figari/Golfo Aranci

Figari and Golfo Aranci sit on Sardinia's north-east coast, where the Gulf of Olbia opens toward Tavolara and the water stays clear enough to spot dolphins from a kayak or a small boat. The area's signature experiences are built around that marine life: the Olbia: Dolphin Watching Boat Tour & Snorkeling at Capo Figari pairs a sighting run with a snorkel stop, while the Golfo Aranci Small-Group Kayak Tour with Aperitif & Dolphins keeps groups small and ends with an aperitif on the water.
