Question 1

When can you see dolphins?

Accepted Answer

All year round: the colony is resident. Tours operate from April-May to October, with sighting rates often exceeding 90%. Early morning and sunset outings offer the most beautiful encounters.

Question 2

Can you visit Golfo Aranci without a car?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is one of the few places where it works well: the five beaches of the town, the port for excursions, and Cala Moresca are all reachable on foot, and the railway connects directly to Olbia. A car is only necessary to explore the coast beyond Spiaggia Bianca.

Question 3

How long does the trek to Capo Figari take?

Accepted Answer

About 2 hours round trip from Cala Moresca, with 340 meters of elevation on dirt road. It's not technical but is exposed to the sun: avoid central hours in summer and bring at least a liter of water per person.

Question 4

Is Spiaggia Bianca accessible on foot?

Accepted Answer

It's about 30-40 minutes on foot from the center or a few minutes by car; in summer, parking fills up quickly, so it’s best to arrive by 9:30 or move on foot or by bike along the scenic road.

Question 5

Is Golfo Aranci suitable for families?

Accepted Answer

Very much: town beaches with shallow waters, dolphin excursions designed for kids, little nightlife, and minimal distances. It’s one of the most relaxing bases in the northeast for a family vacation.
