Discover The Wonders of the Marine World with us

Join us and enjoy venturing into the sea with new eyes, the eyes of scientists!

Observing dolphins in their natural environment is an intense emotion. Understanding who they are, what they do and how they communicate makes the experience unforgettable. Diving into a sea full of life, swimming lightly on colourful seabeds, is a joy, but discovering hidden creatures makes snorkeling an ever new adventure.

About Progetto Natura

01

Who we are

We are marine biologists, environmental guides and marine mammal observers with 20 years of experience in the field. We are proud to say that Progetto Natura is the first scientific dolphin watching company in Sardinia. We love sharing unforgettable dolphin encounters and snorkeling experiences with our guests.

02

Our boats

To observe dolphins while minimizing disturbance, we use specially built boats equipped with modern engines. We do not like crowded boats or uncomfortable dinghies. Our motor boats have a maximum capacity of 12 people, to make your journey exciting and relaxing at the same time. Additionally, we provide snorkeling equipment and life jackets for our guests.

03

Our chance of spotting dolphins

Spotting dolphins in the wild can be challenging, but with the scientists from MareTerra, our chances of sighting them exceed 80%. Our record for the farthest sighting is an impressive 8 kilometers, achieved by Francesco, affectionately known as "The Big Eyes" by our guests!

04

Snorkeling led by marine biologists

The Sardinian sea is absolutely stunning! Don't miss the chance to explore the seafloor alongside a marine biologist. If you don't have much experience with snorkeling, there's no reason to worry! One of our guides will provide you with guidance in the water, ensuring you have a safe and enjoyable snorkeling experience.

Helping Science And Ocean Conservation

Our excursions are exciting and fun, but this isn't the whole story. By joining us on a dolphin watching tour, you contribute to valuable scientific research carried out by MareTerra NGO - Environmental Research and Conservation.

Thanks to your presence on board, the scientists of MareTerra can study dolphins and other marine organisms. The researchers share the scientific data collected on board with universities and other researcher groups of the Mediterranean Sea. The final aim is to develop policies to protect dolphins and the marine environment. We want to ensure that our activities and other human activities do not reduce the health of our ocean and its inhabitants. Join us and support MareTerra NGO.
