Tour to Figarolo Island with the possibility to observe dolphins
Description
For excursions we use comfortable 7.5 meter inflatable boats with 250 horsepower engine, equipped with a awning to provide shade during navigation and during stops. They are also equipped with several dry spaces to place personal belongings. Dolphin watching is done by trying to interact as little as possible with the animals so as not to disturb their activities and not alter their natural behavior (Blue Way adheres to the "Friend of the Sea Dolphin and Whale Watching" project respecting the code of conduct in case of sighting). Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are wild animals in their natural environment, so we cannot guarantee sightings, however the chance of encountering them during our excursions is over 80%.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Mario was the best. We were taken to some beautiful bays to snorkel and swim. The highlight was seeing the dolphins in there natural environment. Simple great trip, lovely people on our boat. Grazie Mille
Very good experience, a skipper who spoke several languages to explain the history of the site to us. Very pleasant and even a small local beer offered during the boat trip. What more could you ask for!
Davide was a fantastic guide ! He was very knowledgable and very respectful of the local environment. We saw dolphins and had some really great snorkel and swimming sessions in some stunning areas. We fully recommend this trip to others .!!
David was an excellent host. We saw dolphins and swam at the best stops.
It was truly special and unforgettable. Davide has a great love for dolphins and knows exactly how to behave and navigate so as not to stress them. He keeps a reasonable distance. His great respect is rewarded and the dolphins approach the boat! By being the most respectful boat, we are the ones who saw the dolphins up closest. The snorkeling spots are magnificent. Thanks to Davide for this superb experience and go for it with your eyes closed.
We had a wonderful excursion with Davide. A perfect mix of boating, swimming, and snorkeling.. the highlight was the dolphins. Davide kept a respectful distance from the marine life. Unfortunately, not all boat captains did the same.. an absolutely successful excursion, five stars for this excursion and our guide Davide
Pleasant crossing and guide. However, the guide does not speak French. We saw dolphins after several attempts by our guide. However, there are a lot of boats in August so it looks more like a dolphin hunt... Not very bucolic... otherwise we also see them near fish cages... so the environment is not great. Otherwise, 2 pleasant snorkeling stops. And a magnificent view of the cliff.
Je suis désolé mais nous n'avions pas le guide français disponible ce jour-là, cependant comme le reste des participants parlait anglais, nous avons choisi de communiquer en anglais avec vous aussi, puisque vous le parliez. Malheureusement, en août, en raison de la présence excessive de bateaux près de Figarolo, les dauphins sont pris d'assaut dès qu'ils sortent pour respirer. C'est un gros problème pour nous, les opérateurs, qui respectons les règles d'observation de ces animaux sauvages, nous nous en rendons compte. Nous le communiquons lors du briefing et souvent, pour éviter d'augmenter le chaos des bateaux qui se regroupent pour "chasser" les dauphins, nous renonçons à l'observation et nous nous éloignons, tout en sachant que tous nos invités ne l'accepteront pas.
We would do the tour with BlueWay again anytime. We were very satisfied with our skipper "Davide". Due to the further sightseeing, you usually only see the dolphins briefly, but it was still a great experience for us. On board there were free drinks and "pizzette" / small pizza snacks. We stopped 2x for swimming and snorkeling.
Was a really great trip. The captain really did his best to find dolphins and after a tip from another colleague he succeeded. Also very respectful to the animals!!
Thanks to Blue Way for this superb experience! Tito our skipper was absolutely kind, we were able to observe the dolphins very closely in their natural environment with a lot of respect. With a bonus little appetizer at the end followed by swimming, an excellent excursion to do with the family
