Snorkeling in Golfo di Olbia: Private Speedboat with Wine Tasting

Three and a half hours: speedboat between white beaches, snorkel in a bay, taste Sardinian wine and cheese on the water

Snorkel in Golfo di Olbia, Sardinia, aboard a private 7.5-meter speedboat with a captain who knows the emerald sea. You sail between white beaches and small islands, spot wild herons and cormorants, then dive into a lonely bay to snorkel among fish, octopus and starfish. After swimming, you relax on warm sand and taste local wine, cheese and shepherd's bread on board.

The experience

The boat leaves with snorkeling equipment already aboard and a captain with 20 years of experience navigating these waters. You sail the emerald sea between white beaches and small islands, moving at the pace of a speedboat but stopping long enough to watch wild herons, gulls and cormorants work the shoreline. The landscape is the point (white sand, small islands, the color of the water itself), and the boat holds it all in view without the noise or crowd of a larger tour.

When you reach the lonely bay, you have time to dive in and snorkel. The water is clear enough to see fish, octopus and starfish moving on the bottom. After the swim, you dry off on warm sand. Back on board, the captain brings out local wine, cheese and shepherd's bread or carasau: a moment to sit and taste what the region makes while the boat idles or drifts. The whole thing runs 3.5 hours from start to finish.
