Discover The Wonders of the Marine World with us

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

Without doubt watching dolphins strike smoothly out of the water, side by side, is magic. However, understanding who they are, what they do and how they communicate makes this experience unforgettable. Swimming silently on seafloor with myriad fish can be tons of fun for all ages but finding hidden sea creatures makes snorkeling a real adventure.

About Progetto Natura

01

Who we are

We are marine biologists, environmental guides and marine mammal observers with more than 15 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 experience with our guests.

02

Our boats

We use boats equipped with a modern and silent engine, that it was built for the specific aim of searching dolphins reducing the impact on the environment. We do not like crowded boats or uncomfortable inflatable boats. We choose a comfortable motorboat with a maximum capacity of 12 people, to make your experience, and that of your kids, exciting and relaxing at the same time. Snorkelling gear on board, free of charge.

03

Our chance of spotting dolphins

It is not easy to spot dolphins in the wild, but thanks to the presence on board of the scientists of MareTerra, our chance to see them is higher than 80%. Our record distance of sighting? 8 km by Francesco…nicknamed by our guests "The Big Eyes”!

Snorkeling guided by marine biologists

The sea of Sardinia is wonderful, you can not miss the opportunity to explore the seafloor with a marine biologist. If you do not have much experience with snorkeling but you can swim in deep waters, no fear, one of our guides will give you guidance in the water. In this way you can enjoy your safe 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 are contributing to valuable scientific research carried out by MareTerra NGO - Environmental Research and Conservation.

Thanks to your presence on board, the scientists of MareTerra are able to study dolphins and other marine organisms. The scientific data collected on board are shared with universities and other researchers of the Mediterranean Sea, in order to develop policies to better 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.
