Itinerary

1. Your boat tour in Cagliari starts from Molo Sant’Elmo. Whether you have been picked up at the exit of the Cagliari cruise terminal or have reached the meeting point on your own, the surprises may begin right away: as you leave the harbour, it is quite common to spot groups of dolphins swimming in the waters of the Gulf of Angels. After leaving the harbour, we slowly head towards our first stop, admiring along the way the beautiful city of Cagliari, with its distinctive skyline overlooking the sea.
2. Former nudist beach of Cagliari. Due to the shape of the cliffs, it remains a secluded and peaceful location. An excellent spot for snorkeling thanks to its rich marine biodiversity. (30 min)
3. Along the way, we can admire the Capo Sant’Elia Lighthouse, a historic landmark and an important symbol for the city of Cagliari.
4. Passing by the Grotta dei Colombi (Pigeons' Cave) and the famous Roccia del Pisellino, we round the promontory and reach the Piscine di Gasole, located beneath the iconic Devil’s Saddle. The Piscine di Gasole are a hidden gem nestled at the foot of the majestic Devil’s Saddle, one of Cagliari’s most recognizable landmarks. Here you can enjoy a refreshing swim in calm, crystal-clear turquoise waters, perfect for snorkeling or simply relaxing.
