Overview

Set off on an unforgettable journey along the Gulf of Orosei with a three-hour dinghy tour departing from the port of Arbatax. This adventure unveils one of Sardinia’s most stunning coastlines, where sheer cliffs meet the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. As you navigate northward, marvel at the dramatic Pedra Longa spires, the unspoiled Baus beach, and the enchanting Grotta dei Colombi.
The highlight of the tour is Cala Goloritzé, an iconic gem with its turquoise waters and majestic natural arch. Further along, a photo stop at Cala Mariolu—renowned for its pristine sands and vibrant marine life—offers a glimpse of why it’s considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Finally, you’ll pause near the Isolotto d’Ogliastra for another swim before heading back.
Immerse yourself in Sardinia’s raw beauty, where every stop is a testament to nature’s artistry and every moment offers a perfect blend of adventure and serenity.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on From Arbatax: RIB tour to Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzè?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
