During the day, there will be another anchor stop at the Venus Pools, famous for their intense colors and light reflections on the water.
Cala Mariolu Beach
The first long beach stop will generally be at Cala Mariolu (about two hours), or alternatively, at the nearby Cala Gabbiani, equally enchanting.
Cala Biriola Beach
Next, we’ll make an intermediate stop at Cala Biriola, a small cove of landslide origin located at the foot of a limestone cliff.
Cala Luna Beach
We will conclude with Cala Luna, just 10 minutes from Cala Gonone harbor, a beach that enjoys sunlight until late afternoon.
Upon request, it is possible to add a guided visit to the Bue Marino Cave or the Fico Cave. This option must be communicated before departure and is individual: those who do not wish to visit the cave can enjoy more time on the beach (either Cala Luna or Cala Biriola). The cost of the visit is approximately 12 euros, to be purchased separately.

Cala Gonone, Orosei
DESTINATIONS
Grotta del Bue Marino (Sea Ox Cave) is a sea cave whose karst system extends over 70 km inland. Guided tours from April to September.
The ‘pearl of the Mediterranean’ can be reached in just 10 minutes by boat or by trekking, and is also famous for its beautiful grottos. There is the only refreshment point in the gulf.
A delightful cove of round white pebbles, sheltered by a limestone cliff, surrounded by a grove of ancient holm oaks, junipers, and typical Mediterranean scrub vegetation.
Just before arriving at Biriola, you can dive into a stretch of water with bright colours ranging from turquoise to emerald green and from blue to deep blue, the Venus Pools. These are real natural pools where you can only stay at anchor with small boats.
The Fig Cave can be visited with an expert guide. These caves were once frequented by monk seals, the last sightings of which date back to the late 1980s.
Cala Mariolu is one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast of beautiful Sardinia and the Gulf of Orosei. A dip in the sea that looks painted. It is also known as ‘is puligi de nie’ (the snow fleas) for the round white and pink pebbles that look like snowflakes.
A natural continuation of Cala Mariolu, it has the same characteristics. A hidden gem, less famous but just as beautiful, in the Baunei area. A southern corner of paradise in the Gulf of Orosei. Very close is Cala delle Sorgenti, whose name derives from the freshwater springs that flow into the sea from the limestone rock.
One of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean: a painting born of a fantastic dream. The seabed is surreally beautiful and the turquoise waters flow from underwater karst springs. The natural arch and the famous 143-metre-high pyramid-shaped spire are the backdrop to this Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
