Live a day as a researcher with the scientists of MareTerra NGO. All your curiosities about dolphins will be satisfied. Observe the researchers as they collect scientific data to study the bottlenose dolphin population of the Gulf of Alghero. Discover the stories of some of the most famous dolphins like Suzeo, Taz or Shark Junior.
During snorkelling, you'll have a guide who will take you to discover underwater life. On board, we'll tell you some curiosities about what we have seen. You will never be alone!
Our excursions are inspired by the principles of ecotourism and sustainability:
- Latest generation boat engines reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of noise underwater.
- HQWW certification (High Quality Whale Watching) for whale watching operators complying with the Code of Good Conduct. This serves to reduce and minimize the disturbance of cetaceans.
- Environmental education on board.
- By joining Progetto Natura, you can support MareTerra NGO and its scientific research and conservation projects.
The meeting point at 9:45 am is located along the "Lungomare Barcellona" promenade along "Via Giuseppe Garibaldi" near the "Banchina Rafael Catardi". A member of our crew will wait for you in front of the CicloExpress bicycle rental. If you have a car, parking at the port behind the CicloExpress is free of charge.
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
If you are a sea lover don't let the less warm temperature stop your curiosity! For three hours, we search for dolphins. Thanks to the presence of the researcher of MareTerra NGO, our chance of spotting dolphins is 80%.
During the navigation, a briefing will be provided to let you know more about the biology and behaviour of dolphins, along with their conservation status. We are certified with the High Quality Whale Watching certification. Once we sighted a group of dolphins, we respect their well-being approaching them in accordance with the "good code of conduct" of our certification to minimise the risk of any disturbance to dolphins.
Thanks to the photo-identification technique, we can recognise dolphins by their dorsal fins and we are able to tell you their names, how old they are and their health status. In addition, you will listen to the dolphin sounds thanks to the recordings that the scientists of MareTerra NGO collected to study the bioacoustic of the dolphins.
During the navigation, you will admire one of the most beautiful coasts of Sardinia, within the boundaries of the Marine Protected Area Capo Caccia - Isola Piana.
