      Competent guide, marvellous experience. Unclear information about meeting time. You were supposed to be there 25 min before the tour which we were not.

      5 star experience

      Manuel was a great captain and host. It was a fantastic experience and well worth the price. We highly recommend.

      Amazing Boat Trip with Captain Manuel

      linda_d, Sep 2025
      Our boat trip with Captain Manuel was an incredible experience. We felt completely safe under his guidance and his fun personality made the day even better. We made several stops to swim and he gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location. He let us set the pace and decide we are ready to move on. Manuel is outgoing and friendly. Nature made the trip so enjoyable. The highlight of the day was when we took extra time in the bay so we could watch a part of dolphins. It was truly an unforgettable site. This is one of the best boat excursions we’ve been on, and we wouldn’t hesitate to take it again.

      Snorkel to "Personal" Caves

      Soo_S, Aug 2025
      This trip would have been a lot more fun if the sun stayed out. The water was warm when the sun came out, but as soon as it was gone it was very chilly, but I got in the water anyway because I thought, Hey, when will I be back here again? My daughter and husband got in with me for the first cave when we had sun, but it was too cold for them for the last two caves. Swimming to the small caves and enjoying the sea life snorkeling in the Mediterranean Sea was definitely a fun trip. Please note there these are small caves just enough for one person not like you would imagine a big secret cave. But still fun anyway.

      We were so fortunate to get a wonderful weather and great sea conditions! We were able to hit all our planned stops. The boat was clean and not crowded, I believe the capacity was 12 and we were 9 adults. The meeting location was very easy to find. We enjoyed our tour guide, she was knowledgeable and made our tour pretty interesting!

      Excellent captain - fun & easy trip!

      Great hosts, standard trip

      QUENTIN_M, Jun 2025
      It’s important to get out on a boat while visiting Cagliari, and the skippers on this boat were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had a good time. In general, all the boats go to the same four stops, but it was not overly crowded, but also didn’t feel particularly special. The water and island are beautiful, but the snorkeling is lackluster. The equipment is very used. It’s worth the trip and our lovely skippers made it fun. I assume every boat trip is very similar, so choose this one for the great skippers.

      Amazing time!

      Jessica_F, Oct 2024
      We had an amazing time! Antonio was a great host and very knowledgeable about the history of island. Would highly recommend this tour. Would suggest doing the morning time as the wind can pick up later in the day.

      Must do experience for Cagliari

      Shelby_H, Oct 2024
      One of the best things we did on our trip the guides were so nice and it was some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen

      Fun in the Sun

      Jenice_H, Sep 2024
      The day was gorgeous, the captain was very friendly and accommodating. It was the highlight of the trip so far!

      It was fun until it wasn’t.

      Michele_M, Sep 2024
      The captain was very professional and knowledgeable. It was a beautiful day and we made 2 stops just offshore from some tiny beaches to swim. Sat for long time in a bay watching people sailing and windsurfing. Captain warned us it would be choppy on way back and joked about us swimming to shore and taking taxi home. IF your weather turns, get in back of boat. I was assured I’d be safe in front but got tossed like a rag doll. My husband pulled me by foot to safety while moving as I suppose the captain couldn’t stop boat in big waves? I severely hurt my back, shoulder and forearm. I’m still in substantial pain three days later. Stay in back of boat even if crowded. Not safe in front, I’m lucky I wasn’t thrown from boat or broke my back. And we weren’t able yo go in cave due to wind.

      Snorkeling not worth it

      Richard_R, Sep 2024
      You won't see any large fish. We didn't go into any sea cave. The ride back in the boat was wild. The operator is great.

      Don't pass this up

      John_G, Sep 2024
      Antonio, our captain, was amazing and fun. The locations were pristine and forever memorable. Would do it again

      Great experience!!

      Mohan_J, Sep 2024
      It was an amazing experience. Barbara had been a great host. Although I don’t swim, Barbara had life jacket and life buoy that allowed me jump and swim a little in the ocean! Had a great time!!

      Amazing boat trip

      JENNIFER_A, Aug 2024
      Our guide Antonio was very friendly, and informative about the history and landmarks during the tour. We had a really good time on the boat, managed to see the dolphins as a pleasant surprise. Would definitely recommend this tour to others

      Great experience

      Natalie_L, Aug 2024
      Absolutely loved this excursion! We had four stops where we could jump off the boat to swim, including one where we could swim into a little cave. Never felt rushed. Relaxed and fun! Great guides. Would definitely recommend.

      Best day on the water!

      Terri_C, Aug 2024
      Our two Japanese girls trying to snorkel. They put on their life jackets and snorkel gear and spent most the time out their backs. Captain Antonio was hilarious.

      Great tour

      Christine_P, Aug 2024
      Fabulous your with Antonio and Barbara. Will not forget it. Great scenery, secluded beaches, and beautiful swimming. Nice glass of Prosecco at the end, loved it. Antonio was most helpful when getting back on the boat after a swim. There is a ladder, just not so easy to maneuver. Tour meetup location was easy to show the taxi driver from my cruise ship. Do not walk, it's 2 miles. Only 8 adults on one boat. Worth every penny.

      Fun snorkelling day!

      Maria_G, Aug 2024
      The skipper took us to breathtaking beaches, caves, towers and she explained the history behind them. We had enough time to snorkel on each swim stop and there were so many colourful fish! She gave us a glass of prosseco om our last swimming stop to celebrate. We all felt safe during our activity- good snorkelling gear and life jackets.

      Antonio, a perfect guide for an unforgettable experience

      JoseAntonio_H, Aug 2024
      I did the tour with my wife, and we lived a wonderful experience thanks ti Antonio, our guide who was very attentive to us the entire time. I recommend this tour to everyone

      Wonderfull

      Joao_R, Aug 2024
      The tour was very and the skiper choose the best spots for views and for swimming. Good explanation about Cagliary histiry. Very confortable boat and a perfect finish with a glass of proseco. We strongly recommend.

      Warm clear waters and plenty of fish!

      Jamie_B, Jul 2024
      Great spots, very nice guide, 100% recommend. May be difficult for beginner swimmers if water is choppy. Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen!

      Fun time

      Barbara_Y, Jul 2024
      Great experience unfortunately, weather conditions didn’t allow us to go to the caves. But was a great time anyhow.

      Highly recommend

      Kristin_B, Jul 2024
      The captain was very friendly and informative about the different sites. Enjoyed good conversation and the snacks at the end. Would highly recommend!

      Amazing!!!

      Fredy_G, Jul 2024
      Amazing tour with amazing staff. Would recommend to anyone visiting Cagliari. Swimming in remote beaches is worth every penny.

      Great fun

      Jennifer_P, Jul 2024
      We had a lovely afternoon out on the boat, we stopped at 4 spots to snorkel and had great fun jumping off the boat and seeing lots of fish. The water was a little choppy when we were not in the bays for swimming and it was fun as Antonio sped over the waves. Felt safe at all times and there were life jackets if we wanted them. Only feedback we would like to give is that we were not able to join in some of the conversations and discussions that the skipper was having with the group as he was speaking Italian. Some of these conversations were about the local scenery and history as he was pointing to old buildings on the cliffs. Note we did book an English speaking tour but the majority of guests spoke Italian. It didn’t take away from the day but something to be aware of.

      Antonio and Barbara were...

      JOSEPH_C, Jun 2024
      Antonio and Barbara were great. We don’t normally do group tours/experiences but scheduled this at the last minute. It ended up being a highlight. Would certainly recommend to others.

      A great and memorable experience

      Zara_I, Jun 2024
      Everything was perfect, beautiful views and we saw a lot of fish while snorkeling. The skippers are really nice and funny and do everything to make it a memorable experience. I recommend it to everyone ! 👌

      Antonio is the best

      Swetha_T, Jun 2024
      Antonio was the skipper on our boat and he was funny and knowledgable on our boat tour. He was also considerate and took care to place the pregnant member of our group in the most gentle spot on the boat. He also fed the fish so we could see them all come up to the boat. Overall a great trip - however one thing i would mention is that the trip is best for people who can swim freely as they dock away from the beach so if you are not confident in swimming you may just stay on the boat as they appear to have life jackets.

      Highly recommend- 5 star tour

      amrosacci, Jun 2024
      We enjoyed our pilot, Antonio, who gave us a magnificent tour, including historical sites, history of Cagliari and of course many stops for snorkeling, swimming and photo opportunities. We saw the many colors of the sea, green, blue and aqua. This was a 5 star tour and an incredible value. We highly recommend.
