We had an absolutely brilliant morning out on the boat with the skipper from Piranha Center! Big shout out to Sara who got us back to our hotel afterwards after a problem with the Beach Bus not turning up. Grazie Mille!

Wow. What an experience. We booked through our hotel on recommendation from the manager - the trip didn’t disappoint. Very Quick Summary - Book this tour. Knowledgable, friendly and hospitable guides who were adhering to COVID-19 guidelines and made the truly amazing. Longer summary: The captain Alessandro spoke great English and communicated to us the day before (via WhatsApp) to make sure we would get to the Port all OK. As a matter of fact, the assistant sailor (name I can’t remember) was fantastic and met us at a roundabout near to the port as the main road was closed nearby. Upon making our way to the port, we were greeted by the captain, had a health and safety briefing and were on our way. A midday aperitivo (traditional Sardinian snacks and refreshments) followed by a stop of at the most magnificent bay, was followed by a cool off and jump off into the sea. We then went to some fantastic islands (names I can’t remember) which included some more swimming and a boat trip to visit the most amazing beaches I’ve ever seen! Once complete, we had an amazing pasta lunch accompanied by wine beer and soft drinks. On the way back, we got to see the catamaran move via sail, an amazing experience. Thanks Alessandro and team.

I got in touch with Emerald Cruises several months ago, as I wanted to a unique, special way to propose when I got to Sardinia. Although I’d initially emailed several companies, Emerald stood out as they seemed to truly care and I felt like I could trust them. Daniele got in touch with ideas, detailed plans and remained in constant communication. He put a plan together which was specifically for me and exactly what I wanted for my proposal. When we arrived in Sardinia, he and his assistant greeted us at the dock and helped us on board. The boat was beautiful. He played the songs that I’d chosen and took us to a remote beach, as I wanted to be somewhere away from people. The beach was perfect, empty and he had set up a picnic blanket, ready for when he brought us our drinks. After the proposal, I said that I’d wanted to see the sunset. They drove the boat so that we were facing west (so we had the perfect view) and prepared dinner for us, which was incredibly well presented and tasted amazing. Later on, he drove us back and dropped us outside of our hotel. Not once did I feel rushed or like I was being a pain, even though I was! I wanted everything to be perfect and not only did he never make me feel bad for that, he made it happen. I cannot thank them enough and could not recommend them more.

My girlfriend and me did our PADI Open Water Diver with Pollo Diving and it was the best decision we could have made. As we were visiting Sardinia in September when the season was already over we contated Stefano to ask for the possibility to finally do our Open Water Diver. He was super friendly and even proposed to stay open one more week, just so we could do our course! From the beginning everything was super relaxed and professional. Our instructor Davide was an absolute professional who took his time explaining all the necessary theories and just made learning fun! Also underwater he took us by the hand and made sure we got everything right. We alsways felt very well looked after and could therefor relax and concentrate on learning the basics underwater. After our confined water training we went out to the La Madalena archipelago for our open water dives. The dive sites were absolutely stunning and Davide showed us the amazing underwater fauna, including barracudas, octopus, sea snails and more. Also on a personal level it was all perfect as after the excersises we would sit together and talk about travelling and diving - it really felt like spending some days with friends! All in all, we can only recommend diving with the Pollo Diving crew, you won't regret it!

My boyfriend and I joined Riccardo and Eleanora for a snorkelling trip. Weather started off slightly cloudy but when the sun came out the colours of the sea were amazing. Snorkels and flippers were provided and we saw loads of fish. Lunch was great. And we were offered snacks and drinks all throughout the day. We stopped off at incredible beaches and quieter places for swimming away from the crowds. We were so happy to have gone on this particular trip and would 100% recommend!!
