Cala Gonone excursions and rubber boat rental

Cala Luna is the first bay that you will arrive at after Cala Fuili. Cala Fuili is the last cove reachable by car. We usually stop in Cala Luna as part of the return trip to the port, given that the sun shines through the deep gorge until late afternoon. The canyon allows the sun to illuminate the cove until late afternoon and the River “Ilune” separating the beach from the interior. Cala Luna is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Located a few hundred metres from the beach is a bar-restaurant which will offer visitors a place to relax and have a coffee, or an ice-cream, in the shadows of the juniper trees.

Services available: baths, bar, restaurant.
Hire: canoes, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and umbrellas

Cala Sisine is the second largest beach of the Gulf after Cala Luna, is on the slopes of “Mount Plumare” whose cliff overhanging the water exceeds 400 meters. Just like Cala Luna, Cala Sisine was formed from sediments left by the torrential river flowing into the gorge “Codula di Sisine”. The landscape of the canyon is magnificent, as too is the uniquely crystal clear water. At Cala Sisine there is also a small bar-restaurant with restroom facilities.

The inlet of Biriola ( or Billaricoro) has been named after the woods of holm oak trees and junipers overlooking it. The rays of sunshine and the peculiar seabed give an emerald appearance to the water. Biriola is ideal for snorkelling or diving. About 500 meters from the beach there is an area of intense blue colour near the cliff called "Piscine di Venere" where you usually stop for a refreshing swim in the middle of the diverse fish fauna.

The coast of Ispuligidenie is one of the pearls of the Gulf of Orosei. The name in Baunei dialect means "snow fleas", due to the presence of tiny white pebbles that characterise it. The two beaches that make up Ispuligidenie, Cala Mariolu and Cala dei Gabbiani, are a paradise for lovers of nature and the environment. The sharp contrast between the white limestone and the turquoise colour of the sea offers a feast for the eyes that is unique and unforgettable. In a recent survey by Trip Advisor, Cala Mariolu was declared one of the twenty most beautiful beaches in the world and the fourth most beautiful in Europe. From July to September there is a beach kiosk where you can buy drinks and sandwiches.

Servces: bar, diving (also first dive) Hire:: beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear.

"Cala Goloritzè" is an authentic gem of the Mediterranean Sea. With the massive, natural pinnacle “Punta Caroddi”, known as the ‘Aguglia’, it offers breath-taking landscapes from both sea and land. Its unique features are preserved by strict regulations forbidding boats from navigating within 300 meters from the shore. The only way to get to the beach is either swimming or walking (a one-hour walk, which is well worth doing). It is also possible to enjoy a swim at ‘Le Sorgenti’, two tiny inlets close to the northern part of the bay, characterised by peculiar white limestone caves and several freshwater springs gushing from the sea floor.

Cala Cartoe is the first beach to the north of Cala Gonone. The extensive coastline of fine white sand and shallow waters make it one of the beaches more suitable for families with small children. Behind the beach there is the torrential river “Rio Littu” which partially withdraws during the summer creating vast sand dunes on the dry riverbed. There is a small kiosk during the summer.
