Tavolara is a very large marine protected area, which is why it is pleasantly inhabited and frequented by so many animal species, both in and out of the water. It is therefore not uncommon to come across dolphins swimming and playing freely and happily.<\/p>

Among the most frequently sighted species in MPA waters are bottlenose dolphins. Sightings of various cetacean species, whales, minke whales and pilot whales are not uncommon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Trekking excursions on Tavolara are very popular, but not all treks on the island are suitable for everyone.<\/p>

There are a number of well-marked paths on the island that lead to the Prolagus path, Cala Tramontana, the Cemetery of the Kings of Tavolara and the point called 'I due Mari'.<\/p>

These routes last between 10 and 30 minutes and are suitable for everyone; care must be taken during the hottest hours, taking care to bring water to drink and a hat.<\/p>

There are also more demanding excursions and treks that lead to the summit of Tavolara via vie ferrate, for which it is necessary to rely on an expert guide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
