While we enjoyed our snorkeling experience once we finally got to the snorkeling spot, we had significant concerns about the safety procedures of this company. Our tour took place on a windy morning when the waves/surf outside the marina were quite high and rough. The boats they use are small zodiacs which are easily tossed around in high surf and don't have hand holds for passengers. We were frustrated and concerned that there was 1) no safety briefing before we left the marina, 2) no life vests offered for the children onboard the zodiac (ages 7, 8, 10, and 11) -- who could have easily bounced out of the boat when it hit a big wave, 3) the guides only asked "can everyone swim?" once we arrived at the snorkeling spot. We asked the captain to stop the boat midway to the snorkeling spot and get life vests for our youngest kids when it became apparent how rough the sea was that day. We overheard one of the guides say (in Italian) that the "mothers were more nervous than the kids." We absolutely should not have had to ask for life vest for the children; they should have been offered/provided for the children (even on a calm day). Additionally the life vests were not easily accessible (in a latched storage area at the bow of the boat). I would hesitate to use this company again especially when going with children who are not very strong swimmers.

We drove 3,5 hours in order to enjoy this activity because it was praised as the best snorkel trip on Tripadivsor but actually it was the worst waste of time in my whole life of any journey that I every had. The team is great, very friendly, helpful and take good care of you BUT (!) it is totally not worth for driving 8hours a day to have this snorkel trip because we didn't see many fishes. ok differently described: we only see very very very few fishes or actually hardly any fish. I am not an expert in marine protected area but it looked like any other places on Sardinia when we went snorkeling but way deeper. we didn't see any coral riffs or anything it was just stones. It is a shame to waste travelers highly valued holiday time if you promise marine protected area with picture filled with a lot of fishes. totally waste of time - money can be saved again but not the time that went wasted. _A well meant advice_ ---> just go to different beaches for a snorkel trip, it is cheaper and you will be happy to see fishes because on that trip we hardly see any fish. Any beaches on Sardinia is beautiful, really! any beaches!

Beautiful clear water. The group here was very nice and accommodating. Surrounding scenery dramatic. Equipment rented was first-rate.

Saw starfish, jellyfish, sea urchins and lots of other fish. Nothing spectacular (eg with amazing colouring or big or all that different from what I saw snorkelling at the beach) but definitely in much greater abundance. The sea grass was also mesmerising to look at. It’s important to know that you must wear a wetsuit (provided) on this trip. This was at first annoying bc it was so hot but later I was happy to have it (for buoyancy and sun protection). We had a bit of drama on the boat - first boat wouldn’t start so we piled into the dive boat - then our very full boat hit a rock at speed, and there was also a boy on the boat having a very loud extended panic attack. Kudos to the staff, who handled everything really well. Ps the snack and drink offered on the boat is water and a packet of saltine crackers - which we found very amusing!! Could have done without one of the captain’s constant vaping - but all said we had a great time and it was a pleasant afternoon.

At first, I was worried that snorkeling was basically just diving for amateurs. But, after our experience with Mauro, I appreciate fully the uniqueness of a calm experience where you can easily go between viewing wildlife and conversing about them, learning more about Sardinia from the people who love there, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon without needing any special training.

My boyfriend and I had a great experience. He isn't a strong swimmer and our instructor was helpful in making sure he felt safe and comfortable in the water. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Was a very tiring but lovely afternoon adventure!

Amazing! Everything was perfect, the guides were super nice and knowledgeable. They give you all of the necessary equipment and explain how to use them before leaving, making sure the sizing is adequate. We snorkeled in beautiful turquoise water and it was so cool to see all the fish and marine life up close. Would highly recommend!

Staff were superb. So friendly and professional - thank you. The trip was really well organized. Kit borrowed wet-suit, mask and fins, was clean and the staff helped us ensure we got it fitted correctly. Unfortunately the weather was a bit poor so we didn’t see many fish but we did see a shipwreck and have a walking tour of the lighthouse island. Despite really rough seas the skipper was so cool and got us back to the marina safely. Fabulous experience and highly recommend. Thank you all 👍🏼👍🏼
