What we will do
The appointment is set for 8.00 a.m. at the port of Arbatax (NU), from where the motor vessel Glentor will set sail punctually at 8.30 a.m.
Leaving the picturesque village of Arbatax, we will admire theIslet of Ogliastra, with its spectacular pink granite colours, and the majestic rock of Pedra Longa, guardian of ancient marine secrets. Also from the sea, we will discover the Baus waterfalls, the Grotta dei Colombi, Cala Scirocco and Cala Tramontana, and the splendid Cala Goloritzé.
The first stop will be Cala Mariolu, where we will stay for about two hours. Here you can choose whether to disembark for sunbathing or join a guided tour of the Grotta del Fico, an ancient refuge for the monk seal (the visit is optional and tickets can be purchased on board).
Back on board, we will sail in the direction of Cala Luna. During the 50/60 minute trip, we will take the opportunity to have lunch. If you wish, you can purchase lunch on board (a selection of typical Ogliastra starters, seafood first course, fruit, and a drink of your choice) during the booking process. Alternatively, you can bring your own packed lunch from home.
Once you reach Cala Luna, one of Sardinia's most famous beaches, you can disembark and relax among natural caves and golden sand. The stop will last about an hour and a half.
Thelast stop will be the beautiful Cala Sisine. Here the waters oscillate between various shades of blue and green, creating a spectacle of colours reflecting under the sun. At 4.00 p.m. the motor ship will reverse course to take us back to Arbatax, wherearrival is scheduled for 5.30 p.m.
