The Capo Testa – Punta Falcone Marine Protected Area is one of the most intact stretches of coastline in northern Sardinia. Posidonia meadows, groupers, white breams, sea urchins, a few moray eels — you don't have to be an expert to see them. You just have to know where to look.
We are authorised to operate within the MPA and depart directly from the harbour of Santa Teresa Gallura. Our guide is a marine biologist: everything you see will have a name, a role in the ecosystem, and a storey. Groups are kept small by choice. Gear is included. No prior experience is required.

OPTION 1 — 14:00 · AFTERNOON SNORKELING
Outing in the MPA with a marine biologist guide. Posidonia, fish, sea urchins, invertebrates — with explanations about each species and the ecosystem. The afternoon light is ideal for observing the seabed. Duration: approximately 2 hours. Suitable for everyone.
OPTION 2 — 6:30 PM · SUNSET SNORKELING
Thirty minutes on land for a technical briefing with the marine biologist, then in the water until sunset. The light at Capo Testa at that time is hard to describe — it's why people come back. Guided for the entire duration, approximately 2 hours. Suitable for everyone.
