Gulf of Orosei Dinghy Tour

From Orosei: Dinghy Tour Between Cala Ginepro and Cala Goloritzè

A full day of discovery along Sardinia's most legendary coastline, from hidden coves to world-famous beaches.


This Gulf of Orosei dinghy tour takes you along one of the most celebrated stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, visiting sea caves, emerald bays, and white-pebble beaches accessible only by boat.

Departing from Cala Ginepro in Orosei, the tour covers a remarkable sequence of stops including Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine, and Cala Goloritzè. Each location offers distinct character, from the cave-framed shoreline of Cala Luna to the internationally recognised beauty of Cala Mariolu. The route is designed to balance swimming time with scenic navigation.

The waters along this coast are consistently clear and calm in favourable conditions, making them ideal for snorkelling and swimming among reef fish and dramatic limestone formations. The skipper adjusts the itinerary based on sea conditions to ensure a safe and rewarding experience for all participants.

Aboard a well-equipped inflatable dinghy, guests benefit from a freshwater shower, climbing ladder, awning for shade, a stereo system, and full safety equipment including a first aid kit. The boat selection is made on the day based on group size and availability.

Tour Highlights

Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Piscine di Venere, a natural sea pool framed by pale limestone cliffs.

Visit Cala Mariolu, recognised as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with its distinctive white and pink pebbles.

Explore the natural caves of Cala Luna, one of the Gulf of Orosei's most iconic and photographed landmarks.

Navigate hidden coves including Cala Biriola, Cala dei Gabbiani, and Cala Cartoe, reachable only by sea.

Observe striking rock formations and rugged cliffs that define the eastern Sardinian coastline from the water.

Enjoy multiple swimming stops at Cala Sisine and Cala Goloritzè among colourful marine life in turquoise waters.

Travel aboard a fully equipped dinghy with safety gear, awning, freshwater shower, and an experienced skipper.
