A journey through nature and wonder

A boat tour along the Baunei Coast is a unique experience, perfect for discovering its spectacular coves, crystal clear waters and towering cliffs that make this coastline one of the most beautiful in the world. Stretching for 40 km of untouched landscapes, it offers postcard-perfect scenery that can only be fully appreciated from the sea.

During the day, you can snorkel, swim in coves accessible only by boat and simply enjoy the sun and the silence of nature. A boat tour is ideal for those looking for a relaxing experience rich in beauty, without the physical effort required by hiking.

Most boat tours are shared experiences with other passengers and include several stops in the most beautiful coves of the Baunei Coast, offering a friendly and accessible way to enjoy the area.

For those seeking something truly special, Luuxya Charter, created from the vision behind Costa di Baunei, offers exclusive private luxury tours. Designed to experience the coastline in a personalised and intimate way, these tours guarantee comfort, privacy and a deep connection with the territory.

RECOMMENDED DEPARTURE: SANTA MARIA NAVARRESE

The marina of Santa Maria Navarrese is the ideal starting point to explore the Baunei Coast by sea. Thanks to its strategic position, it allows you to explore the entire 40-km coastline, from Santa Maria Navarrese all the way to Cala Luna, including spectacular coves such as Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu and Cala dei Gabbiani.

Only by departing from Santa Maria Navarrese can you reach exclusive locations such as Pedra Longa, Bàus and its waterfall (when visible), Grotta dei Colombi, Portu Cuau and Portu Pedrosu. These southern highlights cannot be reached from the northern ports, whose daily tours focus mainly on the upper section of the coast.

Choosing Santa Maria Navarrese as your starting point not only supports local tourism, but also allows you to enjoy the most authentic and complete experience of this extraordinary coastline.

CHOOSE YOUR PERFECT TOUR

Exploring the Baunei Coast by sea is an unforgettable experience, and there are several options to choose from. All full-day tours last about 8 hours, giving you enough time to explore the entire coastline with stops in the most spectacular coves. Half-day tours are not recommended and are generally not offered, as they do not allow enough time to visit the key highlights of the coast.

• Shared boat tours: ideal for those seeking a friendly, guided experience shared with other travellers. You’ll enjoy swimming stops in the most beautiful coves.
• Private boat tours: an exclusive and comfortable experience, with complete freedom to choose your schedule and stops. A dedicated skipper will guide you to the most fascinating corners of the coast.
• Shared rubber-dinghy tours: a dynamic and exciting adventure shared with other travellers. Thanks to the small size of the dinghy, you can explore caves and hidden inlets that larger boats cannot reach.
• Self-drive dinghy rental: perfect for those who want complete freedom. These dinghies can be rented without a boating licence and allow you to explore at your own pace. Recommended for travellers with at least minimal boating experience to ensure safety and a pleasant day at sea.

Each option lets you experience the Baunei Coast from a unique perspective, diving into clear waters and discovering corners of paradise accessible only by sea.

WHAT TO BRING AND USEFUL TIPS

• Rock shoes: a must! Many coves have mixed sand and pebbles — some small, some larger — which can be uncomfortable to walk on. Bring them for a more enjoyable day. If you’re planning long stops on the beach, consider bringing a small umbrella for shade.
• Dry bag or waterproof pouch: Essential for protecting your smartphone. Extremely useful if you decide to swim to coves beyond the buoy line, so you can safely take photos and videos.
• Sustainability: take everything you bring with you and leave only your footprints. If you smoke, bring a small container for cigarette waste. Let’s help preserve the pristine beauty of these beaches for future generations.
• Internet and phone signal: be aware that in some areas of the coast and in many coves, phone and internet coverage may be limited or unavailable. Download offline maps or save important information in advance to enjoy the experience without issues.
