Live a day as a researcher with the scientists of MareTerra NGO. All your curiosities about dolphins will be satisfied. Observe the researchers as they collect scientific data to study the bottlenose dolphin population of the Gulf of Alghero. Discover the stories of some of the most famous dolphins like Suzeo, Taz or Shark Junior.

During snorkelling, you'll have a guide who will take you to discover underwater life. On board, we'll tell you some curiosities about what we have seen. You will never be alone!

Our excursions are inspired by the principles of ecotourism and sustainability:

- Latest generation boat engines reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of noise underwater.

- HQWW certification (High Quality Whale Watching) for whale watching operators complying with the Code of Good Conduct. This serves to reduce and minimize the disturbance of cetaceans.

- Environmental education on board.

- By joining Progetto Natura, you can support MareTerra NGO and its scientific research and conservation projects.
