Beautiful experience. Captain Antonio was very good, he told us the history of the place and showed us unique cliffs. On board there was also a marine biologist Matteo he explained in a very simple way the habits of some species of fish present in Sardinia. Together they created a beautiful harmony on board making us have fun. Finally with great enthusiasm we saw and followed the dolphins for about 1 hour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT IS REALLY WORTH IT !!
