A low-slung inflatable slips from Buggerru marina and the sea immediately asserts itself — a glassy shoulder of blue that pushes at the hull and insists you look overboard.
For roughly two and a half hours an experienced local skipper threads the boat through steep limestone cliffs and small, shadowed caverns: the Faraglioni stacks rise like carved columns, the Arch of Kisses frames the horizon, and Grotta del Forno opens like a dark mouth into older rock. The coastline here records Sardinia’s geology — Miocene limestone sculpted by wind and waves into caves and pillars — and the village of Buggerru itself bears a working-class mining history visible in rust-streaked ruins above the shore.
Culture here is coastal and practical: skippers who grew up on these waters point out seasonal fishing grounds, old miners’ paths, and tiny islets such as Pan di Zucchero (Sugarloaf), a favored resting place for seabirds. The tour includes swim stops for snorkeling in clear, protected coves where Posidonia beds provide habitat for wrasse and sea bass; respect for those seagrass meadows is part of the local etiquette.
Practicalities: departures are punctual from Buggerru marina, the ride is on an 8‑metre dinghy with bench seating and lifejackets, and itinerary depends on sea and wind. Bring reef‑friendly sunscreen, secure footwear for beach exits, and a lightweight wind layer — mornings can be cool on the water. Those with limited mobility should note boarding an open dinghy requires climbing over the gunwale and steady balance.
The excursion lasts about 150 minutes and departs from the marina of Buggerru; exact meeting point is on your booking voucher.
