About this experience

Get ready for a unique adventure with our sailing boat trip in the Gulf of Orosei! Departing from Cala Gonone, the itinerary is variable depending on the weather and sea conditions, depending on which the captain will choose the most suitable route.

As soon as you leave the port, you will enjoy the majestic limestone cliffs, which alternate with stretches of forest on the coast. We will pass Cala Luna, Cala Sisine, and continue to Cala Biriola, famous for its pinkish-colored sand. Our first swimming stop will be at Piscine di Venere, where you can enjoy the cool emerald-clear water.

After that, we will resume sailing and head for Cala Mariolu or Cala dei Gabbiani, again depending on weather conditions, and here we will enjoy a longer stop of about two hours. We will not miss the view of the spectacular natural arch of Goloritzé, before heading back toward the port of Cala Gonone.
