Full description
Enjoy a tour on a large inflatable boat along the Baunei Coast, a heavenly stretch of coastline in central-eastern Sardinia.
Set off from Santa Maria Navarrese and head north to discover the enchanting landscapes of Cala Mariolu, Cala Gabbiani and Cala Sisine.
Your experienced skipper will reveal all the secrets and interesting facts about one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean.
What we will do
We set off 15 minutes before 9. 00 am from Santa Maria Navarrese. After meeting the skipper and the rest of the crew, we’ll set sail for the first stop on the tour: Cala dei Gabbiani.
We’ll stop for a swim break of about an hour at this quiet beach, less well-known than its neighbours but just as charming, where the crystal-clear water, with shades ranging from green to blue, laps against the white pebble shore. We’ll jump off the dinghy to swim and do a bit of snorkelling to admire the seabed.
Once back on board, we’ll head towards Cala Mariolu. We’ll disembark here to enjoy an hour and a half’s stop, during which we can sunbathe on the beach, take a dip and eat our packed lunch (not included; please bring your own) . Alternatively, there’s also a small kiosk on the beach where you can buy lunch.
In the afternoon, we’ll set off again towards Cala Sisine, where we’ll find a seabed of small white pebbles and truly inviting emerald-coloured water for a dip during our stop of around one hour.
As an alternative to one of the stops, we can opt for the Grotta del Fico (the entrance fee for which is not included in the tour price and will need to be purchased on site if required) , inside which we’ll find stalactites, stalagmites, water features with small pools and cascades.
We’ll return to Santa Maria Navarrese at around 5. 00 pm, after an 8-hour excursion.
