Villasimius Maxi RIB Tour: 3 Swim Stops and Snorkeling along the South Sardinian Coast

Three hours of crystal-clear coves, vibrant marine life, and wild Mediterranean coastline aboard a professional RIB.


This Villasimius RIB boat tour takes you along one of the most scenic and ecologically rich stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, combining three dedicated swim stops with snorkeling opportunities and some of Sardinia's most iconic landscapes.

Departing from the port of Villasimius, the tour covers the Island of Cavoli, the beach of Punta Molentis, and the lagoon-fringed shore of Porto Giunco or Cava Usai. Each stop is chosen for the clarity of its water, the diversity of its underwater world, and the character of its natural setting.

The itinerary is accessible to all experience levels and requires no prior boating or snorkeling skills. The skipper guides the group throughout, ensuring safety and allowing guests to focus entirely on the experience.

This is a small-group outing limited to ten participants, which means quieter anchorages, more personal attention, and a more authentic encounter with the Sardinian coastline than larger vessel tours typically permit.

Tour Highlights

Swim and snorkel at three distinct coastal stops, each offering transparent water and notable marine fauna.

Visit the Island of Cavoli and observe its characteristic lighthouse rising above the southern Sardinian seascape.

Reach Punta Molentis beach, framed by fine sand and the dense scent of the Mediterranean maquis.

Pass by the Porto Giunco lagoon, home to a resident colony of pink flamingos visible along the shoreline.

Travel aboard a professional maxi RIB equipped with safety gear, a freshwater shower, and an awning for shade.

Small group of up to ten guests ensures an intimate and unhurried pace throughout the three-hour outing.

Access coves and beaches that are difficult or impossible to reach on foot from the land side.
