Itinerary Overview
The tour begins at the harbour in Stintino, where guests board the catamaran and the crew provides a brief safety and orientation introduction. The vessel then sets sail along the northwestern coast of Sardinia toward the first stop.
The first swimming stop takes place at the Fornelli natural pools, situated south of the Asinara National Park. These shallow, vividly colored waters form a sheltered lagoon environment ideal for snorkeling and leisurely swimming.
The catamaran rounds Piana Island, a small uninhabited island that provides a scenic transition between the two main stops. Guests can take in the rugged coastal scenery and the changing palette of the sea from the deck.
The tour arrives offshore at La Pelosa, where guests can swim in the shallow turquoise waters and view the landmark coastal tower rising from the shoreline. This is a free swim period allowing guests to enjoy the setting at their own pace.
Before returning to port, a Sardinian aperitif is served on the catamaran, featuring a board of local sausage and pecorino cheese accompanied by a glass of white wine and water. The return journey to Stintino follows shortly after.
