Cagliari: Boat Tour with Snorkeling in the Caves

Explore hidden sea caves and crystal-clear waters off the coast of southern Sardinia.


This Cagliari boat tour with snorkeling takes you to some of the most secluded stretches of coastline along the Golfo degli Angeli, accessible only by sea. Departing from the port of Cagliari aboard a powerful Sessa Watergames powerboat, you will visit legendary landmarks, swim into hidden caves, and discover the natural beauty that has shaped this corner of Sardinia.

Your skipper brings local knowledge and storytelling to the journey, sharing the legends and maritime history of the gulf as the coastline unfolds around you. Stops at Sella del Diavolo, Cala Paradiso, and the iconic caves of Cala Fighera and Calamosca offer a mix of swimming, snorkeling, and cave exploration that suits all experience levels.

The boat is equipped with a freshwater shower, climbing ladder, and safety gear, keeping the experience comfortable from departure to return. All snorkeling equipment, including masks, snorkels, and torches for cave exploration, is provided on board.

With a maximum capacity of seven participants plus the skipper, the group remains small and the experience genuinely personal. This is not a large-group cruise but a focused, active outing designed for those who want to get into the water and explore.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel directly from the boat at Sella del Diavolo during a dedicated two-hour stop in open, clear water.

Swim into the caves of Cala Fighera and Calamosca with torches and an expert guide leading the way.

Pass by Grotta dei Colombi and enjoy scenic views of Poetto, one of Sardinia's most celebrated beaches.

All snorkeling gear, including masks, snorkels, and underwater torches, is included in the tour price.

Small group of up to seven participants ensures a relaxed, attentive, and safe experience on the water.

Visit Cala Paradiso with an anchor stop at two metres depth, allowing you to swim directly to the shoreline.

Travel aboard a 225 HP Sessa Watergames powerboat fitted with a freshwater shower and climbing ladder.
