Full description
Enjoy a maxi dinghy tour along the Baunei Coast, a paradisiacal stretch of coastline in central-eastern Sardinia.
Set off from Santa Maria Navarrese and sail north to discover the enchanting landscapes of Cala Mariolu, Cala Gabbiani and Cala Biriala.
The experienced captain will reveal all the secrets and curiosities of one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean.
What we will do
Departure is at 9.00 am from Santa Maria Navarrese. After meeting the captain and the rest of the crew, we will set sail towards the first stop on the tour: Cala dei Gabbiani.
We will stop for a swim of about one hour at this quiet beach, less well-known than its sisters but just as fascinating, where thecrystal-clear water with shades ranging from green to blue reaches the shore of white pebbles. We dive from the dinghy to swim and do some snorkelling to admire the seabed.
Once back on board, we will head towards Cala Mariolu. We will disembark here to enjoy a 1.5-hour stop, during which we can sunbathe on the beach, enjoy a dip and eat our packed lunch (not included and to be brought from home). Alternatively, there is also a small kiosk on the beach where you can buy lunch.
In the afternoon, we will set off in the direction of Cala Biriala, where we will find a seabed of small white pebbles and emerald-coloured water that is really inviting for our dives during the approximately 1-hour stop.
If we wish, we can replace the stop at Cala Biriala with a visit to the Grotta del Fico (entrance fee not included and to be paid on site), where we can delve into the natural cavities and hear the echo of the monk seal.
We will return to Santa Maria Navarrese at around 17:00, after an 8-hour experience.
