Daily cruise in Orosei Gulf

Daily cruise in Orosei Gulf

The departure for a mini cruise in the Gulf of Orosei  is from the port of Orosei (or La Caletta or Cala Gonone)  situated on the east coast of Sardinia and the whole trip is done along the same sea shore.

Gulf of Orosei is a natural reserve. It is a protected area with no towns or villages. Its flora and fauna is protected, many of the beaches can be reached only by boats or by foot thank to beautiful trails, but this choice is suggested mostly to those who practise trekking.

The boat trip is a unique opportunity to explore this unpolluted part of Sardinia as it stops in several beaches for a swim. These beaches are made of sand or mostly of tiny white stones and they glitter clearly when the sun shines. While enjoying crystal clear water of the gulf you can admire the white limestone cliffs hanging above your head. It is also an opportunity to take some unique pictures of Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine, Cala Goloritzè or Cala Luna – some of the most precious gems among the Sardinian beaches. There are six large grottoes that open onto the Cala Luna beach and oleander plants grow above them.

During this excursion you can decide to visit Grotta del Fico or the famous Grotte del Bue Marino (monk seal’s grotto). It can be reached only by boat and the entrance is just above the sea level. It is very evocative. Until 1970 it was one of the last habitats of the monk seal. The excursions finishes back in the departure port after sailing along the coast and even if you do not stop in all the beaches, you see them all and you can take wonderful pictures.
