Details
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

This was our fourth family boat trip to Cala Mariolo, and it's always an absolute highlight! A must for every vacationer. Dreamy coves, a fantastic crew, and to top it all off, adorable kittens on board. If you don't go to the cave, you can stay on board and jump into the sea from there. An incredible experience! You're welcome to bring your own drinks and food, but don't forget your sun umbrella, mask, and fins (if needed). We'll be back again next year!
