Rubber Boat and Motorboat excursions along the Baunei coast
Santa Maria Navarrese, Cala Goloritzè, Cala Mariolu, Cala Biriala, Cala Sisine, Cala Luna

Our motorboat tours include long stops at Cala Mariolu, Cala Biriala and Cala Sisine, as well as a panoramic cruise along the entire Baunei Coast and the Gulf of Orosei. The rubber dinghy tours include stops at Cala Mariolu, Cala Luna and Cala Biriala, with swimming stops at anchor in amazing spots such as Cala Goloritzè and the Piscine di Venere (or Escalinea Bay, at the skipper’s discretion). Along the way you will also admire places like Pedra Longa, Grotta dei Colombi, Capo Monte Santo, Portu Cuau and Portu Pedrosu.

Our tours depart from the small tourist harbour of Santa Maria Navarrese, which is the main boarding point for the rubber dinghy excursions. For the motorboat cruise there are departures both from Arbatax and from Santa Maria Navarrese, usually around 8:15 from Arbatax and 8:30 from Santa Maria Navarrese.

Yes, you can book all Tortuga tours and services directly online through our dedicated booking system, available at this link: BOOK NOW. From this page you can choose the date, time and type of excursion (rubber dinghy, motorboat and other services) and complete your booking on your own, without having to go first to the box in the harbour. You can still contact our office by phone or email for extra information or support in choosing the right tour.

The rubber dinghy tour is operated with a maximum of 12 guests on board on an 8‑metre dinghy, offering a more intimate and “personalised” experience, with closer access to coves, inlets and swimming spots directly from the boat. The motorboat, on the other hand, can take up to 80 passengers (even though it is certified for 120), focusing on comfort, larger spaces and a very smooth and relaxing navigation, with three long stops on the main beaches. In short: rubber dinghy = small group and more dynamic experience; motorboat = more comfort and stability, ideal if you prefer moving on a larger and very comfortable boat.

Yes, our excursions are also suitable for families with children. The motorboat trips are designed to offer maximum comfort, safety and tranquillity, with large spaces and very stable navigation, ideal for those travelling with little ones. If you have specific needs (very small children, strollers, special requirements), please contact us before the excursion so that we can advise you and find the best solution together.

The excursion lasts a full day, with beach stops and swimming in the sea, so we recommend bringing a swimsuit, beach towel, sunscreen, hat and plenty of water. During the stop at Cala Sisine you can choose whether to have lunch with your packed lunch or go to the restaurant located just a few metres from the beach. At the time of booking we can give you all the updated information and suggest what is best to bring depending on the period.

The environmental fee introduced by the Municipality of Baunei is paid directly at our box in the harbour before departure. The amount is €3 per person, calculated as €1 for each beach visited during the excursion.
