A must if you are in Olbia

Davide was a brilliant host. He was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable about the local history and culture. The tour is brilliant. A fun journey out to Tavolara followed by three wonderful locations for snorkelling. The drinks and snacks were a lovely addition. You will struggle to find a better location for an Ichnusa than being on a boat looking out over Tavolara and Molara!

Olbia by the sea

It was a last minute decision that turned out to be the best thing to do while in Olbia. David was great captain and pointed out the best areas for us. We even got the chance to see dolphins.
