The outboard hum drops and the shoreline of Villasimius unfurls: chalk-white sand, a solitary watchtower, and the water shading from turquoise to indigo as the boat threads the protected inlet. Guests step aboard for a three-hour circuit through the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, where the sea seems to hold its breath and invites you to slip beneath the surface.
This stretch of southeast Sardinia has been shaped by limestone cliffs and Pleistocene sand deposits; old coastal watchtowers mark centuries of maritime history from Spanish and Savoyard eras. Porto Giunco and Punta Molentis both show geology in action — gently sloping beaches backed by dune and maquis scrub — while local culture centers on small fishing harbors and seaside kiosks serving simple aperitivi.
Expect short guided swims and snorkeling at sheltered coves, a stop at Cavoli with a quick lighthouse walk, and the rare chance to land on Cuccureddus, accessible only from the sea. The guide provides masks and fins; bottled water is included.
Practical notes: departures run morning, afternoon, and evening; total trip time is about 3 hours and is rated easy for most fitness levels. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light wind layer for sea spray, and a waterproof bag for valuables. Timing your visit for early morning or late afternoon reduces boat traffic and brings softer light for photography. Respect protected-area rules, avoid anchoring on seagrass, and follow your guide’s directions when snorkeling — the water can be deceptively deep near drop-offs. This is a compact, accessible way to see Capo Carbonara’s highlights from the sea.
The excursion is approximately 3 hours and includes boat transport, snorkeling equipment (masks and fins), bottled water, and guided stops at Cavoli, Punta Molentis, Porto Giunco and Cuccureddus.
The tour is rated easy and welcomes all fitness levels, but non‑swimmers should remain with the boat and wear a flotation aid; infants must sit on a lap per operator policy.
Some stops allow short beach landings (Cuccureddus and Punta Molentis), but facilities are limited; Porto Giunco has nearby kiosks and a famous tower viewpoint.
The operator cancels for bad weather and if minimum passengers aren’t met; full refunds are available with cancellation at least 24 hours before departure.
