Wine & Food Tours in Alghero

Most leave from the harbour below the old-town walls, but some start at Fertilia or inside the bay of Porto Conte. Read the meeting point on the booking page before you pay – the title says “Alghero” for all of them.

Neptune’s Grotto at Capo Caccia is reached by a scheduled boat from the harbour or by the 654 steps of the Escala del Cabirol. We found no ticket for it in our current inventory, so a tour that sails past Capo Caccia should not be booked expecting to go inside.

Stintino, where the Asinara boats leave, is roughly 45 minutes to an hour by car from Alghero depending on traffic. Those trips are listed here because visitors book them, but they are long days, and a few list Porto Torres as the base.

Our inventory has a single dolphin-watching offer, run with a marine researcher. Sightings are never guaranteed, and the other boat trips here are scenery, coves and snorkelling rather than dolphin safaris.

The old town and the harbour are walkable. Wineries, Lake Baratz, Porto Ferro and Nuraghe Palmavera are outside the city, so check on each booking page whether pick-up is included before you plan without a car.

Alghero is on Sardinia’s west coast, far from the Costa Smeralda and the Maddalena archipelago, which are separate trips from Olbia and have their own pages on our sister site. Its list of bookable experiences is shorter than a big resort’s – we show what is actually there.
