What is the best time to book water activities in Olbia?

The best time is from late spring to early autumn (May–September) when the sea is warm and calm. For the most popular tours, like dolphin watching or sailing trips, book at least a few days in advance—especially in July and August. Many operators offer free cancellation, so you can plan with flexibility.
