About this tour
Cruise along Baunei's rugged coastline from Santa Maria Navarrese, stopping at three turquoise coves—Cala Sisine, Cala Mariolu and Cala Biriala—for swimming and snorkelling across 7–9 hours. You'll pass dramatic limestone cliffs, sea caves and the Pedralonga spire, with optional entry into Grotta del Fico. The boat follows seasonal sunshine patterns and crowd flow to maximise your time at each anchorage, finishing with a final swim at Cala Goloritzè before heading back.
Highlights
- Three separate coves with 90 minutes swimming time total
- Limestone cave exploration inside Grotta del Fico
- Pedralonga rock spire and Baus waterfall sightings
- Final refresh swim at Cala Goloritzè
- Skipper-guided navigation past hidden grottoes
- Flexible stop order based on daylight and crowds
What to expect
You'll board a boat at Santa Maria Navarrese and motor south along the Baunei coast, pausing to photograph notable formations and sea caves. Between three main swimming stops, you have the chance to visit Grotta del Fico (fee separate). Each cove offers roughly 30 minutes in the water—good for snorkelling if you bring your own kit. The stop sequence varies by season to catch the best light and avoid peak tourist times. Expect a leisurely pace with plenty of on-deck time to admire the landscape. The final swim at Cala Goloritzè acts as a cool-off before the return journey.
