Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Monumental coastal geology

The route passes iconic rock formations and coastal monuments recognized for their geological value — panoramic cliffs and sea stacks that define the Costa delle Miniere.

THE ROUTE

Caves and hidden bays

Stops include semi‑submerged grotte and secluded baie where the boat ties off and participants can swim in framed natural settings.

THE ACCESS

Exclusive gommone access from the water

The experience is delivered aboard a gommone with direct water access, allowing close approaches to formations such as Porto Flavia and the Pan di Zucchero and enabling short beach or swim boarding.

What the day feels like

What the three hours feel like

Over roughly three hours you travel by gommone from Masua along the Parco Geominerario coastline, moving from one geological highlight to the next; the pace alternates between scenic transits, short explanatory stops and several opportunities to swim in caves and bays framed by dramatic rock.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this tour suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Those comfortable boarding from the waterParticipants must board the gommone from the beach and will be barefoot on board; travelers must be able to enter and exit from the water or shallow beach access.
2
Small groups and independent travelersThe trip runs with a minimum number of participants; groups should be aware that the operator may reschedule or refund if the minimum is not reached.
3
Travelers who can go shoeless on deckBecause guests remove shoes before boarding and remain barefoot on the gommone, the tour is best for people comfortable with that requirement.
4
Not suited for those with severe mobility limitsAnyone unable to board from the water or to move on and off a small inflatable boat without assistance should consider alternatives; the tour’s boarding method is integral to the experience.
