If you are on holiday in Sardinia and would like to spend a day admiring unspoilt landscapes, our motorboat trip to the Gulf of Orosei and Grotta del Fico with swimming stops is perfect for you. This side of the island is characterized by light sandy beaches, clear turquoise sea and high cliffs that will leave you breathless with their beauty. Over the course of the day, we will take you to three coves where you can swim and snorkel while exploring the fish-rich sea bed.
Depending on your preferences, you can choose to depart either fromArbatax or Santa Maria Navarrese. Our excursion to discover the Gulf starts with Cala Mariolu, which will amaze you with the infinite shades of blue, emerald green and azure of its waters. Next we will disembark at Cala Sisine, a splendid beach with turquoise waters, and then go to Cala Luna, so called because of the characteristic half-moon shape of the beach.
It will then be the turn of the marvellous Grotta del Fico, accessible only by boat, which will amaze you with its impressive stalactites during the guided tour. After this last stop, we will return to our starting points.Highlights

It was an unforgettable experience for our family. The crew and the boat captain were a well-coordinated team, and everyone was very friendly. The captain always had a light-hearted joke ready. We were greeted with small pastries and watermelon every now and then. Drinks, coffee, and even something to eat were available on the boat.
The three beaches we visited were beautiful. Light sand, crystal-clear water, and you could spot many fish while snorkeling. The stay was usually an hour, which was plenty.
We then visited the "Grotta del Finco." It was quite nice, but not a must. You can also stay on the boat during this time and swim in the sea from there.
All in all, this trip was a successful day trip that I highly recommend to everyone.

The boat tour was an unforgettable experience for all of us. The entire crew was incredibly friendly. The captain, in particular, always had a witty remark ready.
The three beaches are exactly as you'd expect: crystal-clear water, white sand and pebbles, and the perfect time for our visit.
The Grotta del Fico is also worth seeing, but not a must-see. During your visit, you could also stay on the boat or jump into the sea and swim.
All in all, a fantastic experience and a must-do for any Sardinia vacation.
