At our info box ''Tortuga Escursioni'' (08040 Santa Maria Navarrese, Province of Nuoro)
Do not miss the chance to explore the most breathtaking spots along the Baunei Coast and the Gulf of Orosei on a full-day trip aboard a comfortable, spacious boat equipped with all the essentials. The adventure begins as we set off from Santa Maria Navarrese, cruising towards the towering natural monument of Pedra Longa, a sight that leaves visitors in awe with its striking presence. As the journey continues, we glide by the intriguing Grotta dei Colombi before pausing for a brief photo opportunity near the stunning waters of Cala Goloritzé. With its unique arch and pristine white beach, this spot offers unparalleled views into the depths, where you can see the seabed clearly even at 30 meters.
Our first beach stop is Cala Mariolu, where you will have approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to enjoy the beach's small white pebbles, reminiscent of shells, and the vibrant colours of the sea. The marine life in this area adds to the charm, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and exploration. Returning on board, we make our way to Cala Biriala, allowing for another 1 hour and 30-minute stop. Here, you have the option to explore the beach or visit the Grotta del Fico, a fascinating cave tour that lasts about an hour, with tickets available for purchase on the boat.
Next, we head to Cala Sisine, where we stop for around 2 hours. You can enjoy a packed lunch on your own or take a short scenic walk to a nearby refreshment point just 300 meters from the beach. As we journey back, you will be treated to views of Capo Monte Santo with its dramatic fjord-like inlets, completing a memorable 9-hour experience. We conclude our trip back where it all began, in Santa Maria Navarrese.
