Reaching Cala Luna: Trekking or Orosei Gulf Minicruise?
Cala Luna is one of the most famous pearls of the Gulf of Orosei, loved for its golden sand, impressive natural caves and crystal clear water. It is a must-see for those visiting the east coast of Sardinia, but a question arises: what is the best way to reach it?
Many hikers venture down the path from Cala Fuili, but there is a much more comfortable, scenic and accessible alternative: the Minicruise in the Gulf of Orosei with Palmasera Boat Rental. In this article we explain why getting on board is the best choice to experience Cala Luna without stress.
Where Cala Luna is located
Cala Luna is located between the towns of Dorgali and Baunei, in the Gulf of Orosei.
Cala Luna: a paradise in the heart of the Gulf of Orosei
Set among spectacular cliffs and wild vegetation, Cala Luna is a unique beach. Its natural caves provide shade during the hottest hours, and the color of the sea fades from turquoise to deep blue. It is not only a destination for sea lovers, but also a perfect place for those seeking beauty, relaxation and a hint of adventure.
Trekking to Cala Luna: fascinating but challenging
Also for Cala Luna, one of the ways to reach it is on foot, starting from Cala Fuili (not far from Cala Gonone). The trail, about 6 km long, can be walked in 1h30 / 2 hours depending on pace and experience. But it is not a simple trail, in fact the path is rocky and uneven and therefore requires proper equipment such as proper hiking shoes. A bit of a hassle for those who want to enjoy the crystal clear sea of Sardinia. This is therefore why we do not consider it the best alternative to reach this cove, especially if there are children and the temperatures are quite high.
Boating by minicruise: the most convenient (and beautiful!) way to get to Cala Luna
The ideal solution to enjoy Cala Luna effortlessly is the Daily Minicruise in the Gulf of Orosei, departing from Cala Gonone with Palmasera Boat Rental.
