You push off the jetty as the harbor loosens its grip—orange-painted buildings slide astern and the city’s cathedral silhouette shrinks to a postcard. The dinghy bites into turquoise water, and the skipper steers toward limestone cliffs where caves hollow the coastline and the Sella del Diavolo rises like an ancient promontory daring you to look back.

You push off the jetty as the harbor loosens its grip—orange-painted buildings slide astern and the city’s cathedral silhouette shrinks to a postcard. The dinghy bites into turquoise water, and the skipper steers toward limestone cliffs where caves hollow the coastline and the Sella del Diavolo rises like an ancient promontory daring you to look back.
This stretch of the Gulf of Cagliari blends visible geology and layered human history: limestone benches cut by waves, sea caves formed by millennia of swell, and a shoreline marked by Phoenician and Roman-era settlements that later watched Berber and Sardinian histories unfold. The Sella del Diavolo carries local legend (a demon forced from the island) and offers one of the best sea-to-city perspectives: the Castello quarter, fort walls and terraces seen from a different angle.
Expect warm Mediterranean water, pockets of Posidonia meadows, and small coves—Calamosca and Cala Fighera are quieter stops for a swim or snorkel. The skipper sets short landward pauses for photos and swims, and points out the Grotta dei Colombi, a cave with its own local stories.
Practical side: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a swim suit and a light wind layer. Snorkel gear is provided; basic swimming skills are recommended. The tour suits most fitness levels, departs from Cagliari’s main jetty, and runs about three hours—perfect for an afternoon window between city touring and a seaside dinner.
Yes—snorkel masks and basic snorkel gear are provided as part of the tour inclusions.
