Full description
If there is one thing Sardinia is known for all over the world, it is undoubtedly the sea. And on hundreds of kilometres of coastline, the Gulf of Orosei is certainly among the most sparkling corners.
What better way to visit the many cliffs, caves and natural creeks than directly from the sea aboard a comfortable rubber dinghy? Join our one-day tour to discover the beautiful Gulf of Orosei.
If Cala Luna and Cala Mariolu aren't yet in your top 10 list of the most beautiful places you've ever seen, maybe it's time to let them in!
What we will do
We will meet at 8.30 am at the tourist port of Santa Maria Navarrese, 30 minutes before departure. The captain will welcome us and accompany us aboard the dinghy, the most suitable means of transport for visiting the spires, cliffs, and natural caves along the coast up close.
Around 9 a.m. we will cast off our moorings and set off. The first spire we will see will be Pedra Longa, just before entering the glorious Gulf of Orosei past Capo di Monte Santo. After the first few miles, it will be time for us to taste the sea with a dip at Goloritzè, a beach with natural springs called s' abbaèe deddai in Sardinian. The bathing stop will last about one hour.
Back on the boat, we head for the next pearl of the Sardinian sea: Cala Mariolu, where we can also dive here to feel the purity of these waters. Between this cove and Cala Luna, we will have the opportunity to delve into the Baunei area, visiting natural caves that would otherwise be inaccessible and marvelling at the Sardinian coastline, which is here a true triumph of beauty.
Cala Luna will be the northernmost point of our tour. From here, in fact, we will start to turn back, making an obligatory stop at Cala Biriala, where there will also be a chance to visit the Grotta del Fico. For those who would like to take another dip, there will be time for one more.
The last stop before returning to the port, the warm waters of Baus, which will have us gaping at the foot of the Giradili cliff, one of the highest in Europe. Around 5 p.m. we will be back in port, after about eight hours of hiking.
