Full description
Embark with us on the legendary motorboat Edmond Dantès, inspired by the famous hero of The Count of Monte Cristo, and get ready to experience an extraordinary day!
You will be able to explore one of the most fascinating jewels of the Mediterranean, theTavolara and Molara Marine Protected Area, dive into the waters of Capo Coda Cavallo and the Molara Natural Pools, and disembark onTavolara Island to immerse yourself in the stories of pirates that still resound along these shores.
And to make this day even more special, two delicious aperitifs on board!
What we will do
Departure is from La Caletta (NU) at 8:15 a.m. (please arrive at least 30 minutes in advance for embarkation). After checking in, the staff will put us on board the motor vessel Edmond Dantes, ready to set sail for our tour of theTavolara and Molara Protected Marine Area.
After a short stop in Budoni for embarkation, the first leg will take us off Capo Coda Cavallo where we will stop for about half an hour to dive into the clear waters or simply relax on the white sand. After this refreshing start, we will return on board for a small aperitif of fresh fruit and prosecco, or juice, for those who prefer something non-alcoholic.
We will then continue on to theisland of Tavolara, where we will disembark for about two hours of exploration. We will walk on the beach, visit the suggestive Grotta del Papa and discover the fascinating stories of the island, once a refuge for pirates. We will also have our packed lunch (not included, to be brought from home) on the beach, surrounded by an enchanting panorama.
Leaving Tavolara, we will head towards Molara where 1 hour of pure relaxation awaits us in the beautiful Natural Pools. We will swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by striking rocks and white sand and, upon returning on board, a second aperitif will await us, this time with cold meats and typical Sardinian products accompanied by prosecco, fruit juice or water.
Our last stop will be Cala Brandinchi, also known as 'Little Tahiti' for its turquoise waters and lush vegetation. We will end the day here with a last swim off the cove and, after a stop of about 1 hour, we will resume sailing to La Caletta.
Return is scheduled for 18.00 hrs, for a total of about 10 hours of excursion.
