Transfer with a spacious boat
Visit of the Bue Marino Caves
Our boat transfer to the Bue Marino Caves is the most convenient way to visit this fascinating place in the heart of the Gulf of Orosei. Departing from Cala Gonone, we will quickly reach the cave, leaving you plenty of time to immerse yourself in its various branches and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
The Bue Marino Caves (Sea Ox Cave) take their name from the term used by Sardinian shepherds to indicate the Mediterranean monk seal, which used to bring its pups to the cave for weaning and which in the past populated the entire gulf in large numbers.
Inside the cave, a comfortable wooden walkway that branches off into the various areas will allow you to fully appreciate the charm of this place, famous not only for its natural beauty, but also from a geological and archaeological point of view, given the presence of petroglyphs dating back to the pre-Nuragic period. The entire route is artificially lit, producing surprising light effects.

The trip was very nice, all the staff were friendly and competent, highly recommended
I can’t recommend this boat tour enough, the tour guide was very informative and the scenes were breathtaking. If I were to recommend anything, it would be to have music playing throughout the duration of the boat tour but apart from that, I can only talk about this tour with high regards. Can’t thank you enough!
