Details
Once we set off on our boat trip in the Gulf of Orosei, we only have to wait 20 minutes of pleasant sailing to be able to admire the first of the many points of interest we will see. In front of us is the entrance to the Bue Marino Caves. You can visit them on foot with a guide for about 1 hour.
After visiting the caves, there will be a stop for about 1,5 hour at Cala Luna. We will then continue our route to the south-east, which will allow you to observe a wild and spectacular coastline. We will sail for about 40 minutes, at the end of which we will arrive at the Piscine di Venere (Venus Pools), where you will be confronted with a surreal spectacle: the bright turquoise water will take on shades you have never seen before. After a short stop for pictures, we continue on to Cala Mariolu where we make our second stop. Here you can snorkel and enjoy the beach for about 1 hour and a half.
We will then continue on to Cala Goloritzè and Cala dei Gabbiani where you can admire the nature and take numerous pictures. The third and last stop will be at Cala Sisine where you will again have 1 hour and a half to relax on the beach, before heading back to the port of departure.

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.
