Details
Once we set sail for our boat tour in the Gulf of Orosei, we will begin cruising along one of the most spectacular coastlines in Sardinia, admiring secluded coves, caves and imposing rocky cliffs.
The first stop will be at the Bue Marino Caves, where we will make a stop of approximately 50 minutes. During the stop, you will have the opportunity to visit the cave on foot, accompanied by a guide, available in Italian or English. After the stop at the caves, we will continue sailing along the entire Gulf of Orosei, passing by some of its most scenic coves and bays.
During the tour, you will have the opportunity to admire Cala Luna, Cala Sisine and Cala Mariolu, with beach stops of approximately 1–2 hours, during which you can relax, swim and enjoy the sea. We will also cruise past the Venus Pools and Cala Goloritzè, where photo stops may be made, allowing you to admire and photograph these beautiful stretches of coastline.
Depending on sea conditions and at the captain’s discretion, an additional stop for swimming at anchor may also be made at Cala Goloritzè or the Venus Pools. The photo stop, however, is planned.
Please note that the itinerary and timings are indicative and may be modified depending on weather and sea conditions, instructions from the relevant authorities, and the captain’s decisions, in order to ensure maximum safety and the best possible experience.Highlights

Good to know
- No pets allowed
- Only a limited number of people can take part in the visit of the Bue Marino Caves. For this reason, we recommend to book the visit in advance.
- Please note that the indicated beaches and stop durations may vary depending on the season and internal regulations.
- Accessible for wheelchairs and strollers
- Information for passengers with mobility impairments and wheelchair users: We would like to inform our valued customers that, for any boat trip or excursion, beach conditions and access routes may present significant difficulties for people with reduced mobility. The beaches concerned are not equipped for access by people with disabilities: there are no walkways, platforms or specific aids for wheelchair users. Furthermore, at some locations, access to the beach is via stairs and particularly narrow passages, through which a standard wheelchair may not be able to pass.
Therefore, passengers who use a wheelchair or have mobility difficulties must be completely independent or accompanied by a person able to provide the necessary assistance throughout all stages of the excursion, both when boarding and disembarking from the boat and when moving around the areas visited and the beaches. Our crew will be available to provide support and assistance insofar as reasonably possible, but, for safety and organizational reasons, they cannot lift or physically carry the passenger or move them by lifting their full weight.
Please also note that, during some mini-cruises, access to the beaches may be impossible or extremely difficult for wheelchair users, due to the nature of the access routes and the particular configuration of the descents. In such circumstances, wheelchair users will not be able to access the beach. Participation in the excursion is therefore subject to full awareness of the above conditions and, where necessary, the availability of a personal companion able to provide the required assistance.
Customers are advised to carefully assess their mobility needs before booking, in order to verify in advance whether the excursion is actually compatible with their individual conditions and requirements.How to purchase tickets for the Bue Marino Caves

A complete day filled with a thousand emotions. Stunning places. The sea was breathtaking, and the visit to the Bue Marino Caves was unmissable. But the best thing was the kindness and professionalism of the entire crew and guide. Everything was perfect.
