Arrive at least one hour before the departure to find a place to park and bring a printed voucher - Five years ago I’ve visited the Gulf of Orosei starting from Arbatax. This time we left from Cala Gonone (2 couples). We arrived there 30 min prior to departure by car and we couldn’t find a place to park in none of the three parkings so I had to find a place in the street 600 meters from the port. We were surprised to find out that we had to present a printed voucher (the reservation voucher on the phone was not accepted). So there was another delay until we found a place to print the voucher for 12€. Instead of 10 a clock we had to take another boat at 11 a.m. Everything on the excursion was ok. Unfortunately the sea level had risen and the beaches were narrower than 5y ago (e.g. Cala Luna).

Beautiful experience - Wonderful experience spent on board, very welcoming, helpful and kind staff. A special thank you goes to the cook who delighted us with her fregola with seafood, simply excellent, all to crown a splendid cruise among the most important and splendid coves of Ogliastra.

Good value for price - This trip is a great way to get on the water and check out a couple beach’s and a Grotto. It’s a great price for what you get. The boat is very spacious and comfortable with a small bar/cafe with pastries and drinks for purchase. The only negative is that you’re not allowed to stay on the boat when it’s time to disembark on a beach. You’ll visit 4 different beach’s, stay for a hour or hour and a half, with most beach’s having very minimum to any shade. By the end of the trip my family and I had too much sun and wanted to stay on the boat in the shade. The staff kicked us off, which was very upsetting considering I was worried that one of us was going to get sun poisoning or have a heat stroke. So, if you plan on attending this cruise know that you will not be able to stay on board and bring your own means of shade.

Better the other beautiful Sardinian bays - September- I thought- there will be fewer people than 10 years ago when August we beat each other both on the motorboat and in the bays. True x the boat where we were good also x kindness of the crew (Del Corsaro ), terrible experience in the beaches and the sea: there was no space x a bath or a towel x the amount of people. Too bad, surely so many crowds have a ruinous impact on the environment
