Full-day motorboat tour from the Gulf of Orosei

Discover some of Sardinia's most beautiful caves and beaches with a daily motorboat tour in the Gulf of Orosei.

Starting from the town from which the gulf takes its name, Orosei, you will sail to Cala Goloritzé admiring the wonderful views from one of the three decks of the elegant motorship Imperatrice.

During the family-friendly mini cruise, you will visit the famous Cala Mariolu and Cala Sisine, two authentic natural paradises. If you wish, you can even visit the famous Grotta del Fico, a place so fascinating that it will leave you breathless. Climb aboard: heavenly beaches, thousand-year-old caves and breathtaking landscapes await you!

What we will do

We will meet for embarkation at the port of Orosei at 10:00 a.m., 20 minutes before departure. Once everyone has boarded theImperatrice motorship equipped with every comfort, we will depart at 10:20 a.m. in the direction of Cala Goloritzè.

The first stop will be Cala Mariolu, a natural paradise with clear waters and surrounded by a white pebble beach. We will stop here for our first bathing stop of about an hour and a half, where we can access the beach to relax in the sun, go for a swim or do some snorkelling.

Around lunchtime, we will be able to decide whether to eat a packed lunch on the beach (not included and to be brought from home) or to buy it at the motorboat's bar-restaurant.

There will be an optional one-hour stop at the Grotta del Fico (ticket not included and can be purchased on site). This is a beautiful cave with colourful stalactites and stalagmites and engravings dating back to the Neolithic period.

We will sail to Cala Goloritzè and have the opportunity to capture it on video and photos. We will then head towards the second stop, Cala Sisine. At Cala Sisine we will have about an hour and a half to dive into the emerald waters or relax on the beach.

Afterwards, we will resume our return journey. The return to Orosei is scheduled at 18:00, for a total duration of 8 hours.
