This tour exceeded my already high expectations after reading the previous reviews. The skippers were truly friendly and fun, Roberto told us stories about every stop we made and was the most amazing guide. The views are breathtaking, the boat is comfortable, and price performance is 10/10. I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Sardinia.

A great day exploring the east coast of Sardinia

Palitha_S, Oct 2023

The boat trip was a great fun day exploring the east coast of Sardinia and going to the secluded beaches. The trip was really great and our skipper was friendly and very helpful. Thank you.

I had another booking...

Amber_M, Sep 2023

I had another booking with a sail boat and they cancelled the night before so I booked this excursion instead. Originally I thought it may be a downgrade but I was totally wrong! This was the highlight of my trip! The boat felt fast but safe, the guide was very informative and scenery was exquisite. Highly recommend! Only tip I have is to bring water shoes because the stops have rocks and was not fun with slides on. Definitely book! I would do it again!

Baunei Coast

Kristen_H, Sep 2023

The dinghy takes up to 12 people so it’s not overly crowded, the skipper is knowledgeable, fun and engaging which makes the experience fun. We got adequate time for pictures and there is a restaurant at Cala Luna that you can get food at. Unforgettable experience and so much fun!! Highly recommend

Do it!

KennethC_R, Sep 2023

Great tour, very beautiful The people cool and very friendly and helpful. The water is incredible and so enchanting.

Amazing experience

Danielle_G, Sep 2023

Roberto was the boat driver and wow he was great! He drives the boat so well. We went out on a very windy day but that didn’t stop the fun. The beaches are the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen! The water was so blue and vibrant. I really enjoyed that we were able to stay 90 min- 2 hours at the beaches. It allowed us time to relax and enjoy ourselves and didn’t feel so rushed. I recommend bringing water shoes as the sands are rocky! Also, make sure you ask for the snorkel gear upon check in before getting on the boat. It’s not provided if you don’t ask beforehand. Overall, friends and I had a blast and it was the highlight of our trip. Grazie mille Roberto! Xx

Made out trip complete

AndrewMichael_D, Jul 2023

Amazing trip. Andrea the tour guide was lovely. Took the time to explain about rock formations and about the history of the beaches. There were some great stops to swim at some amazing places too. Would totally recommend.

Amazing

Philipp_S, Jul 2023

Great Tour. Our highlight of Sardinia! You should not miss the Costa di Baunei. We even saw dolphins.

Must do tour in Baunei

Jenny_R, Jul 2023

We had an amazing day on the Baunei coast. The speed boat was fun and comfortable. We drove through caves which big boats can’t do . The beaches we went were all very impressive and unique to each other. Swam with fish everywhere. Absolutely loved it

Outstanding Tour

Fraser_B, Jul 2023

Roberto was a brilliant skipper and guide - he managed to navigate some unfortunately very choppy seas in surprising comfort and provided a super entertaining and informative trip!

Great way to see three different beaches on the Baunei Coast -- Gorgeous views!!

Wendy_R, Jun 2023

Perfect day on the water to see the Baunei Coast! Great tour guide. We were staying nearby so it was a perfect meeting spot at the "port" marina. Be prepared: there is no water/food on the boat so you need to bring your own. I didn't realize this until the night before so we grabbed some snacks at the local grocery store which worked out nice. Bring water shoes as the rocks are painful on the feet on the beaches -- it's not super soft sand. There is a stop around noon where you can get a drink and a meal -- the bar is in the trees so wear shoes. We enjoyed that little break. The beaches were lovely. Nice photo ops with large rocks. The only unpleasant part was the rough ride back. The wind tends to pick up in the afternoon and boating is rough and it's a long ride back. Overall, I loved this experience and was pleased with the day we paid for!

Not my best excursion

Alexis_B, May 2023

We are very disappointed with the excursion. There was rain last week and the last two beaches were really in a cataphonic state. A lot of algae, a dark green water color. We drove a long way to get there (5h round trip) because the tour indicated paradisiacal beaches. In the end we didn't see any of this, nor did we have a stop in one of the natural pools. If we had been warned that the beaches were not at all like usual we would not have come and lost a precious day of vacation.

Best boat tour ever

Biljana_B, May 2022

Increible

Ftima_P, Jul 2023

Un verdadero placer reservar con ellos ! Muy recomendados! Llegamos tarde a la excursión debido al gps y fueron increibles en todo momento, nos esperaron y aparcaron el coche para perder el menor tiempo posible ; gracias Mauro y gracias a la chica de la oficina, que es un encanto. El patrón fue super riquiño y atento en todo momento, un viaje muy completo y bien organizado. Volveriamos y repetiriamos sin dudarlo con Andrea!

Muy buena excursión para conocer la costa de Baunei

Eva_G, Aug 2022

Una excursión muy bonita. Durante el viaje en lancha el guía nos fue acercando a las diferentes cuevas y calas que había para verlas. Hicimos parada Pen cala Mariolu, Cala Luna (con restaurantes y tiempo para comer) y cala Biriola. También paramos en ls piscinas de Venere para un baño desde la barca. Las calas que se vea y el paisaje es precioso. Al ser como máximo 12 personas, los dos baños que hicimos en alta mar fueron bastante flexibles, estuvimos el rato que quisimos. El guía va explicando durante el viaje información sobre lo que va viendo durante el día. El operador se pone en contacto por WhatsApp para dar toda la información necesaria. En nuestro caso, el día de antes nos avisaron que posiblemente no se podría realizar por mal tiempo, y nos ofrecieron la opción de cambiar el día para asegurar poder realizarla.

Une très agréable journée!

Diogo_C, Aug 2022

Très bonne excursion, petit groupe et ambiance très familiale. Arrêts fréquents en plusieurs points d’intérêts (grottes, falaises, calas, etc…) et aussi pour la baignade. Le skipper Roberto aka Aquaman est vraiment au TOP! Grazie Mille!

Escursione da sogno!

Edoardo_M, Jul 2022

Ho deciso di fare questa escursione perché leggendone l’itinerario ho pensato che fosse d’obbligo farla, e devo dire che ne è valsa veramente la pena! Sembra di vivere in un altro pianeta per i colori e la maestosità di quello che il paesaggio ci offre…INCREDIBILE! Inoltre, il nostro skipper, Raimondo, ci ha reso l’escursione ancora più emozionante portandoci, con il gommone, all’interno di grotte sul mare! Grazie mille a Tortuga per averci regalato la giornata più bella delle nostre vacanze! Edoardo.

El tour se pasa muy...

Nuria_J, Jul 2022

El tour se pasa muy rápido. Es una buena experiencia para ver esas playas que son menos accesibles a pie. Aunque también estaban llenas de gente de otros tours en barco.
