Tavolara and Molara boat tour from Olbia
4 hours in the Marine Protected Area, with swim stops between Tavolara and Molara
The island that rules the Olbia coast
Tavolara is a limestone mountain rising 565 metres straight out of the sea, surrounded by the most spectacular Marine Protected Area of north-east Sardinia. Our shared boat tour departs from Olbia: in 4 hours you’ll sail under its cliffs, swim in turquoise coves and stop at the Molara Pools, where the water looks like a tropical lagoon.

★★★★★Interessante tour. Gids was humoristisch. Veel villa’s heeft een interessante verhaal. De wind die op je afkomt tijdens de boottour voelt ook lekker in het warme weer.
