RIB Boat Tour of the Gulf of Cagliari: Sella del Diavolo, Snorkeling & Swimming
A three-hour coastal voyage along one of Sardinia's most scenic shorelines, combining sea views, snorkel stops, and the freedom of open water.
A Gulf of Cagliari RIB tour gives you direct access to some of Sardinia's most striking coastal landmarks, from the dramatic rock formation of Sella del Diavolo to the tranquil coves of Cala Fighera and Cala Mosca. This three-hour excursion balances sightseeing with active water experiences, making it suitable for a wide range of travelers. Whether you choose a morning or afternoon departure, the itinerary delivers a well-rounded day on the sea.
Aboard a rigid inflatable boat, you move quickly and comfortably along the coastline, with clear sightlines from both the bow and the stern. The vessel offers ample space for guests to spread out and take in the surroundings without feeling crowded. Stops are strategically placed at locations known for their water clarity and scenic backdrop.
The route passes landmarks including Le Piscine, Calamosca, and Sant'Elia before reaching the stretch of coastline fronting the famous Poetto beach. Three designated swimming and snorkeling stops give guests time to explore beneath the surface and cool off in the Mediterranean. Snorkeling equipment is available onboard, so no prior experience or personal gear is required.
This tour operates at an easy difficulty level, making it accessible to most guests regardless of fitness or experience. The RIB format keeps the journey dynamic while still allowing for relaxed moments between stops. It is a practical and enjoyable way to experience the Gulf of Cagliari beyond the shoreline.
