Top Alghero Nature and Wildlife Tours

Experience the thrill of setting sail on a vintage Danish sailboat with this day cruise aboard the Andrean Jensen. Skirt the Sardinian coastline with the British crew from Alghero to Capo Caccia along the scenic Coral Riviera, stopping in Porto Conte Bay. Take a dip in the crystalline waters and check out the marine life with snorkeling gear. Relax on board with beer, wine, and lunch provided.

Alghero is one of the best places in Sardinia to watch bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat—but many boat tours can stress the highly intelligent marine mammals. On this small-group, half-day cruise, step into the shoes of a researcher and join marine biologists as they collect data (and regale passengers with dolphin trivia). Boats use low navigation speeds and engine sounds to keep tours eco-friendly and sustainable.

The spectacular Asinara National Park occupies an entire island off the northern coast of Sardinia. Cover more ground with this Jeep tour that explores both the inland landscapes and pristine coastline in one day. Learn about the flora and fauna on the island from your guide; spot wild horses, mouflon, and donkeys; and stop at the Sea Turtle Recovery Center. End with a refreshing dip at the Cala Sabina beach.

If you love to start the day at your own pace and take refuge away from the hustle and bustle, this morning sail is designed for you. It's a slow experience, to unplug aboard a 2-masted sailboat (10-meter ketch sailing ship). We will leave in the morning from the port of Alghero and glide silently along the historic walls of the center. You will have the perfect space to relax, chat or enjoy the view in silence. During the tour we will make two bathing stops: the first with the Alghero skyline in the background, the second in the calm and transparent waters near the Maddalenetta area, ideal for swimming in total tranquility. The group is limited to a maximum of 6 adults: no crowded groups, no noisy boats. On board you will be greeted by a skipper who speaks Italian, German and a little English, ready to make you feel at home and answer your curiosity about the coast. In about 2.5 hours you will experience the best of Alghero's sea before lunch.
