Snorkeling Golfo di Olbia: Private speedboat, colorful fish

Dive into a lonely bay where octopus and starfish meet you in the shallows.

Snorkel the Golfo di Olbia aboard a private 7.5-meter speedboat carrying up to six people, with a captain who has 20 years on these waters. You sail between white beaches and small islands, dive into a secluded bay to snorkel with colorful fish, octopus and starfish, then rest on warm sand. Local wine, cheese and shepherd's bread come aboard.

The experience

The boat leaves with your group alone. A 7.5-meter speedboat carries up to six people across the emerald sea of the Golfo di Olbia, navigating between white beaches and small islands where wild herons, gulls and cormorants move through the landscape. Your captain knows these waters (he has 20 years steering this route), and he picks the bay where the snorkeling is best on the day you go.

You snorkel in a lonely bay where the water is clear enough to see octopus, starfish and colorful fish moving below. Snorkeling equipment is on board. After you come up, you rest on warm sand. The boat carries local wine, cheese and shepherd's bread or carasau, so you taste while the sea is still in your hair.

The whole outing runs about three and a half hours. Pickup is included, and the captain speaks English, Italian or French.
