Experience Summary
Adventure, caves and dolphins in the wild
For those seeking an experience closer to nature with a healthy dose of adrenaline, this rigid inflatable boat (RIB) tour is the perfect choice. Aboard a fast vessel with a capacity of 12 to 18 passengers, you will find easier access to the caves and get closer to wild dolphins, always with complete respect for the marine environment, guaranteed by the presence of a marine biologist on board. The proximity to the sea, the speed of the boat, and the privileged access to the caves create an atmosphere of absolute immersion — more intense, more thrilling, and more memorable. The most frequently sighted species are the Common Dolphin and the Bottlenose Dolphin.
