FAQ

Frequently asked questions about What to bring

No, swimming is not required, but it is definitely recommended for all participants on our guided dolphin watching tours and for independent kayak and SUP rentals. Knowing how to swim gives you a greater sense of security in the water!

Why is it important?
Although the excursions take place in calm, protected waters along the coast of Cala Moresca, and despite the mandatory use of life jackets, you are still in a marine environment. Knowing how to swim allows you to:

  • Feeling safer and more relaxed during the experience

  • Dealing calmly with unforeseen situations

  • Enjoy snorkelling to the full during stops in hidden coves

🚨 Nota bene: Life jackets are always provided and compulsory for everyone, both on guided tours and in self-chartering, even for those who can swim very well.

Our activities are designed to the whole family, but there are a few guidelines to follow:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Tour guidato avvistamento delfini:

  • Minimum recommended age: 4 years

  • Do children pay the same as adults? Yes, the tour has a fixed cost per person regardless of age, because each participant occupies a place and requires attention from the guide.

  • Young children can sit in the double kayak with an adult (in front, between the parent's legs)

🚣 Noleggio kayak autonomo:

  • Single kayak: from 18 years (recommended for independent and experienced people)

  • Double kayak: perfect for families with children aged 4 and up

  • Minors must be accompanied by an adult in doubles or have a signed authorisation

🏄 Noleggio SUP (Stand Up Paddle):

  • Minimum recommended age: 18 years for autonomous use

  • Younger children can try the SUP with an adult (only if the sea is calm)

Here is the perfect checklist for your day of kayaking or SUP in Golfo Aranci:

✅ Mandatory (supplied by us):

  • Life jacket (included in price)

  • Paddle (for kayaks) or SUP paddle

  • Single/double kayak or SUP

✅ Recommended to bring:

  • Swimwear (to be worn underneath)

  • Rock shoes (essential to enter the water without hurting yourself on the rocks)

  • Sun cream (possibly eco-friendly, sea-friendly)

  • Cap and sunglasses (with string so they don't get lost!)

  • Water (at least 1 litre per person)

What NOT to bring:

  • Oggetti di valore (lasciarli in auto)

  • Bulky bags

Yes, all technical equipment is included.

 

P.S Wetsuits are neither included nor compulsory. In Golfo Aranci, in summer (June-September), the water is warm (24-26°C) and it is fine to wear swimwear. For those who are particularly cold or book in May/October, we recommend bringing a lycra or thin wetsuit .

Of course you can! The dolphins and sunsets of Golfo Aranci are too beautiful not to be photographed. But beware:

📱 How to protect your phone:

  • Use a waterproof case (you can buy it in our shop)

  • Utilizza la borsa stagna che forniamo al momento dell’imbarco.

  • The action cam (GoPro) are ideal for underwater videos if you meet dolphins!

⚠️ Important: Your phone is your responsibility. If you don't have a case, it's best to leave it in the waterproof bag we provide at the check-in.
