Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

From the sea, the Sella del Diavolo looks like an imposing cliff that juts into the Gulf of Cagliari, with its unmistakable "saddle" shape overlooking the crystal clear waters. The rock walls plunge into the sea, creating hidden coves and natural caves, ideal for snorkeling and exploration. A wild and fascinating symbol that dominates the coast with majesty.

Cala Bernat is a small and charming cove hidden among the cliffs of the Sella del Diavolo, accessible only by sea. From the dinghy you can admire its wild charm: an intimate corner surrounded by white rocks and transparent water with emerald shades. Perfect for a short break away from the crowds, it offers a quiet and unspoilt atmosphere, ideal for a dip or to enjoy the scenery in tranquility.

Viewed from the sea, Calamosca looks like a pretty protected cove, nestled between rocky promontories and green hills. Its calm and transparent waters make it an ideal stop to relax on board or take a quiet swim. The small beach and the historic tower overlooking the bay give this corner of the coast a special charm, perfect for a stop during the guided tour with the skipper.

From the sea, the Grotta dei Colombi, set on the slopes of the promontory of the Sella del Diavolo / Capo Sant’Elia, shows itself as a large natural opening in the limestone wall, just above sea level. It owes its name to the numerous colony of pigeons that has always nested there
A wide passageway, perfectly accessible by boat, offers a suggestive scenery: the internal vault, shunned and about 20 m high, surrounded by rocky walls that seem to embrace the sea. When the sea is calm, it is possible to approach the edge and glimpse the interior, perhaps seeing the traces left by the presence of birds.
In our tour with skipper, the Grotta dei Colombi becomes a suggestive stop for a photo stop, a short moment of exploration from the dinghy and a small cultural immersion in the history and traditions of the Cagliari coast.
