The dinghy cuts through turquoise water and Cagliari’s walls shrink behind you; limestone cliffs of the Sella del Diavolo push the sea into sheltered coves and the breeze seems intent on pulling you toward the next swim stop.
This three-hour tour from Marina di Sant'Elmo threads small bays—Cala Bernat, Cala Fighera, Calamosca—and pauses at the Grotta dei Colombi and the natural pools at the Devil’s Saddle. Geologically, the coastline is a late-Miocene limestone edge carved by waves and wind, leaving steep scarps, ravines and pockets of sand where Posidonia meadows hold marine life.
Cagliari’s harbor has been a crossroads since Phoenician and Roman times; from sea level the Castello district reads like a layered chronicle of the city’s maritime identity. Locals prize the small white beaches sheltered from the mistral—this tour follows those familiar routes and brings snorkeling equipment so you can inspect the underwater world up close.
Practical side: expect short, guided swims from the dinghy and easy in-and-out access for most swimmers. The skipper supplies bottled water, snorkels and a glass of prosecco onboard—bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light wind layer for open-water stretches and a secure bag for phone and keys. Start mid-morning for calmer seas and better light on the underwater meadows; if mistral picks up the itinerary shifts to more sheltered stops. Respect marked Posidonia patches, avoid anchoring on seagrass, and follow crew directions for safe snorkeling. The ride is relaxed but active—ideal for travelers who want both coastal sightseeing and quick marine immersion.
Meet at the entrance to Marina di Sant'Elmo by the Bacan restaurant; the skipper will escort you to the dinghy at dock D.

The tour is labeled physically easy, but basic swimming ability is recommended; flotation aids are available and crew supervise water entries.
