What you can expect
Experience a picturesque journey along Orosei Gulf, one of the most iconic coasts in Sardinia.
Check-in starts at 8:00 at Arbatax Harbour. The boarding point is next to the gas station, and the boat leaves at 8:25.
As soon as you leave the harbour you can admire, on the right side of the boat, Isolotto d'Ogliastra with its vibrant colors of pink granite and red porphyry.
Then, passing Santa Maria Navarrese you will see the limestone-dolomite rock of Pedra Longa, the “guardian” of the treasures and secrets of the area, rising steeply from the sea.
Continuing along the coast you can take a shot of Baus waterfalls, Colombi cave, Monte Santo Cape and two stunning fjords: Cala Scirocco and Cala Tramontana.
Next, we pass by the extraordinary Cala Goloritzé, awarded as world's best beach in 2025 and 2026, with its characteristic arch. Don't forget to take a picture here, as the beach and the sea appear like a painting.
1° stop: Cala Mariolu ( awarded as best beach in the world in 2023 ) - 2 hrs - choosing us you will be the first to reach the beach, enjoying this heaven on earth with no crowd!
Here you have 2 options, you can disembark and enjoy the beach — with umbrellas available to rent from the boat — or take a guided tour of the Fico Cave, paying an entry fee and exploring the cave with a guided tour. After the visit you will still have the chance to stay on Cala Mariolu beach for 1 hour.
2nd stop: Cala Luna (~50 minutes)
Anchor directly in front of the famous beach for a ~50-minute swim stop straight off the motorboat.3° stop: Cala Sisine - 1 hour - as the route is reversed, going back to Arbatax you will relax as the last stop in Cala Sisine, a unique beach formed in a canyon
4th stop: Cala Goloritzé (~50 minutes)
A final swim stop straight off the motorboat for about 1 hour to dive into the crystal-clear, turquoise waters surrounding Cala Goloritzè.Safety Note: Swimming directly from the motorboat is only permitted in favorable weather and sea conditions and is always subject to the Captain's sole discretion for the safety of all passengers.
The cruise ends on returning to Arbatax Harbour at around 17:00
