Further information
Departure and Navigation
The Glentor tour starts at the port of Arbatax, a historic fishing village, precisely at the quay next to the nautical distributor. The comfortable and spacious motor vessel welcomes you on board with its friendly and professional crew. After finding a comfortable seat, the journey begins for a breathtaking adventure along the rugged coastline of the Gulf of Orosei. You will be able to admire and experience the island's most beautiful coves, many only accessible by sea.
check in: 8:00 am
departure: 8:30 am
Leaving the harbour, you will admire the Isolotto d'Ogliastra with its vivid colours of pink granite and red porphyry sprouting among the resilient vegetation. Immediately after passing Santa Maria Navarrese, the limestone-dolomitic cliff of Pedra Longa, 'guardian' of the area's treasures and secrets, appears sheer above the sea. From the spectacular Baus waterfalls, passing through the Grotta dei Colombi (Cave of the Pigeons) and Capo Monte Santo, you will reach two suggestive fiords: Cala Scirocco and Cala Tramontana. In the latter, also known as 'Portu Quau', the commander Silverio Musella, in a respectful ritual, narrates the tragic story of the great vessel Levante, whose remains can be glimpsed among the transparent waters on the seabed. Continuing to sail, one reaches the extraordinary Cala Goloritzé with its characteristic arch, where the beach and the sea appear like a painting.
