Details
The beaches of the Baunei coastline are amongst the most beautiful in Italy, and you can enjoy them to the fullest during our RIB boat trip from Santa Maria Navarrese to Cala Goloritzè! Of this 8-hour tour, 5 hours will be dedicated to total relaxation on white-sand-beaches and crystal clear water of the coastline.
Starting in Santa Maria Navarrese, we will head north towards Pedra Longa, a 129 m high sea stack declared natural monument in 1993. We will then reach the Grotta dei Colombi, and then continue our journey to Cala Goloritzè. In this corner of paradise, characterized by white pebbles and blue waters, you will have 2 hours to enjoy some snorkeling or simply sunbathing. Then, up the Orosei National Park, we will stop at Cala dei Gabbiani, also known as the "hidden pearl" of the Mediterranean, as well as the spectacular Cala Mariolu. Here you will find a small kiosk, in case you are in need of some snacks or drinks, and you will also have 2 hours to cool off and enjoy the shallow waters.
Next on our itinerary is Grotta del Fico and its underground tunnels with stalactites and stalagmites, and then the Pools of Venus, so that you have more time to enjoy the sea and its wonders. Our last stop, before heading back to Santa Maria Navarrese, will be the stunning Cala Biriola, where you can observe the many fish that inhabit the area.

Fantastic day trip on a boat in the Gulf of Orosei with our skipper Daniel, who took us to the most beautiful spots in the Gulf. We enjoyed relaxing beach stops and swimming right from the boat to admire the turquoise blue of the seabed – we were absolutely delighted!
