Dinghy Tour from Cala Goloritzè to Cala Luna — Gulf of Orosei
Sail the wild Sardinian coastline between sea caves, white cliffs, and turquoise coves
This full-day Gulf of Orosei boat tour takes you aboard a modern inflatable dinghy along one of the most scenically dramatic coastlines in the Mediterranean, stopping at five celebrated beaches and swimming spots between Cala Goloritzè and Cala Luna.
Departing from the port of Osalla in Orosei, the route follows a stretch of Sardinian coastline protected within the Gennargentu National Park, where limestone cliffs drop directly into the sea and access by land is limited to multi-hour hikes. The boat allows passengers to reach these locations with ease and spend meaningful time at each stop.
The skipper navigates according to sea and weather conditions, adjusting stops as needed to ensure safety and the best possible experience. A toast with local Sardinian sparkling wine is included during the excursion, adding a regional touch to the day on the water.
Tour Highlights
Swim in the transparent waters of Cala Goloritzè, framed by the iconic sea-eroded spire rising from the cliffside.
Relax on the white pebble beach of Cala Mariolu, consistently ranked among the finest beaches in Italy.
Visit the natural sea pools of the Piscine di Venere, a secluded swimming spot rarely accessible without a boat.
Explore the sea caves and dramatic rock arches surrounding Cala Luna, one of the Gulf's most photographed landmarks.
Enjoy an included toast with local Sardinian sparkling wine during the day at sea.
Travel aboard a 2020-built G-Tender Otto inflatable boat equipped with a freshwater shower, awning, and full safety equipment.
Itinerary
The tour begins at the port of Osalla. Passengers board the inflatable dinghy and the skipper provides a safety briefing before heading south along the coastline.
Cala Goloritzè is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site at the foot of a tall limestone spire. The stop allows for swimming in shallow, clear water directly from the boat.
Cala Mariolu is known for its pale pebbles and vivid gradient of blues. Cala Biriola, slightly further north, offers a quieter alternative with similarly clear conditions.
These natural rock pools offer a sheltered swimming experience and are accessible only from the sea, making them a highlight exclusive to boat-based itineraries.
Cala Luna closes the main coastal circuit with its wide sandy beach, impressive cave openings at the shoreline, and calm, shallow waters ideal for swimming and exploration.
