What to expect
You'll board a modest vessel and head out along Cagliari's craggy southern edge, stopping periodically to slip into turquoise water. Each anchorage offers different prospects—some sheltered, others more open—giving you real variety across three hours. Snorkelling happens in shallow, clear patches; you're fitted with mask and tube before each dip. The skipper steers clear of crowded tourist spots, instead favouring quieter inlets where the seabed feels genuinely pristine. Expect a relaxed, sociable vibe rather than structured activities.
