About this tour
Spend ten hours sailing the Gulf of Orosei, exploring Sardinia's most dramatic coastal caves and coves by boat. You'll anchor at Cala Goloritze, Cala Mariolu, the Piscine di Venere, and lesser-known grottoes, with chances to spot dolphins and snorkel in crystalline waters. The boat's crew—experienced divers—guide you through the best underwater spots, then hand over the helm so you can feel the Mediterranean breeze fill the sails.
Highlights
- Anchor at seven named coves and sea caves along the Gennargentu coast
- Snorkel with provided gear in turquoise shallows; dolphin sightings common
- Optional sail-handling and rope work if you want to help crew
- Shower and toilet onboard; soft drinks and ice available
- Tender and SUP access to narrow coves inaccessible by larger vessels
What to expect
You'll board a sailing vessel early and head into open water, stopping at each cove for swimming and snorkelling. An experienced diver briefs you on underwater conditions and points out fish species and underwater formations. Rather than crowding beaches, the boat anchors offshore; you reach shallow water by tender, SUP, or swimming. Between swims, the crew hauls sail and you may opt to help—trimming lines, adjusting canvas—or simply watch the coastline slide past. Lunch and soft drinks punctuate the day. Weather and wind determine exact route; dolphins aren't guaranteed but sightings are regular.
Good to know
Direct beach access by boat is not possible; use the tender or SUP provided, or swim to shallows. Bring reef-safe sunscreen. Infants must sit with an adult. The schedule suits most fitness levels; no experience needed. Public transport reaches the departure point.
