What is the best time to book activities in Olbia?

The best time to book is during the high season (June to September) when the weather is warm and sea conditions are ideal. Since several top-rated experiences, like the Tavolara boat tours and dolphin watching, tend to sell out, it's wise to book at least a few days in advance.

How do I choose between the different half-day experiences?

Consider what you want to see and do. For dolphin encounters, opt for a dedicated dolphin watching tour. For snorkeling and marine life, choose a boat tour to Tavolara or Figarolo. If you prefer a more active outing, a kayak tour with snorkeling and an aperitif is a great choice.
