Motorboat Transfer to Bue Marino Caves and Cala Luna from Cala Gonone
A half-day coastal journey into Sardinia's most storied sea caves and secluded shores.
Departing from the port of Cala Gonone, this guided excursion brings you face to face with the Bue Marino Caves, one of the most remarkable karst cave systems along the Gulf of Orosei, before anchoring at the legendary beach of Cala Luna.
The cave visit is led by a knowledgeable local guide who explains the geological history of the formations and the site's long connection with Mediterranean monk seals, the animals that gave the caves their name. Approximately one hour inside the caves is enough to appreciate the scale and beauty of the stalactites and subterranean chambers.
After the cave tour, the motorboat continues to Cala Luna, a crescent of white sand framed by limestone cliffs and accessible only by sea or a long mountain trail. The clear, shallow waters make it well suited to swimming and snorkelling during the warmer months.
The fleet serving this route consists of modern, certified motorboats ranging from 13 to 22 metres in length. Vessels are heated during cooler months and ventilated during summer, ensuring a comfortable crossing regardless of season.
