Itinerary
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.
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.
Along the way, we can admire the Capo Sant’Elia Lighthouse, a historic landmark and an important symbol for the city of Cagliari.
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. This stop is designed to let you admire this unique place from a privileged perspective. The contrast between the white limestone cliffs, the turquoise sea, and the green Mediterranean vegetation creates a truly spectacular setting. It is the perfect place to take memorable photos and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
We will sail around the Devil’s Saddle and reach our final stop at Marina Piccola. The scenery changes noticeably here, as do the reflections of the water, which takes on beautiful green shades. This area is particularly rich in marine life, making it an ideal place for snorkeling.
The most famous beach serving the cities of Cagliari and Quartu Sant’Elena. It stretches for approximately 8 kilometers, from the Devil’s Saddle to Margine Rosso.
We will return at approximately 1:00 PM while enjoying the beautiful views of the Gulf of Angels.
First swimming stop. Guests can swim to a beautiful fine-sand beach where a small sea cave can also be found.

About Cagliari
Cagliari, capital of Sardinia, is a hilltop port of medieval towers, Roman ruins and a long city beach, with flamingos on its salt lagoons.
Cagliari rises on a limestone hill above the Gulf of Cagliari, on the southern coast of Sardinia. The walled Castello quarter at the top holds the Pisan towers of San Pancrazio and the Elephant, the cathedral with its Baroque interior and terraces with sea views. A Roman amphitheatre cut into the rock, from the second century, survives lower down, and the Bastione di Saint Remy is a monumental stairway and terrace.
