Snorkeling at Tavolara and Molara Islands – Guided Boat Tour
trending_upDifficulty: EasySet sail on a half-day snorkeling boat tour to two of Sardinia's most stunning marine destinations: the iconic Tavolara Island and the lesser-known jewel of Molara Island, both nestled within the Tavolara–Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area. Aboard the Centro Immersioni Figarolo boat, you'll glide across crystal-clear waters towards these protected islands, snorkelling in sheltered coves and rocky bays bursting with marine life. Just beneath the surface lies a vibrant world of colourful fish, starfish, sea urchins, and swaying seagrass meadows — all set against the dramatic backdrop of Tavolara's towering limestone cliffs. The tour includes a guided snorkeling session with professional supervision, snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins), and time to swim freely and soak in the scenery. The boat also provides a moment to simply relax and enjoy the views of one of the most iconic landscapes in Sardinia. Suitable for all ages and swimming abilities. ⏱ Duration: approx. 3 hours | 💶 Exclusive tour €600 / Children (3–9 yrs) €40 | 🏊 Equipment included

Wish it lasted longer! Friendly, informative staff. Small boat with 2 staff and about 6-8 passengers. Perfect weather, stopped about 3 times to snorkel including a calm area to practice, the shipwreck, and an additional stop before visiting Tavolara. Water is clear and beautiful, but marine life may have been underwhelming for more experienced folks.

The best dive experience I’ve had. An incredibly friendly, professional, fun, and safe staff. They worked with us to customize a training schedule to get my girlfriend PADI open water certified and she loved every minute. They were amazing with everyone that came into the shop from kids to adults. They also offer amazing excursions for dolphins watching and more. This is a family friendly business that puts an emphasis on providing a memorable and safe experience above all else. I can’t wait to get in the water again with this group. Multilingual and decades of experience. Without a doubt the best dive shop on the island if not the whole country!

Very very very very good! Staff are all fantastic! Me and my son have done scuba diving baptism with Mateo and he was Awsome. Explain to us everything and was very cautious with us. We are very pleased. 2nd day we have done a boat trip to Tavolara with Irina and Mila that explain everything about the beautiful landscape. Amazing snorkeling spots and to finish the boat trip we were pleased with some dolphin sight 😊 We strongly recommend this trip but bring a coat for the trip due to the wind 😬.

Big shout out to the guide Francesco. I didn't have the chance to book any tour with this company. But at one of their stopovers (Cala Moresca), I was nearby on my own boat and my anchor dragged with the risk that my boat was about to be washed onto the beach/rocks. Without hesitation, Francesco came to help and pulled my boat free into the deep water again so I could maneuver it from there. I offered to pay a gratitude towards him, but he refused. That's the old spirit of real tradional seamanship : you help when help is needed! Francesco: I indeed thank you much! Best wishes, Tobi (SY Why Not).

Amazing snorkeling experience! Went twice because we loved it so much the first time. The team was great and really organised. For the price, it was insanely good. Would happily go again if the holiday was longer.
