The boats to the stunning Mariolu Cove sail every summer day from the harbour of Arbatax and from the small
harbour of Santa Maria Navarrese, where the Supramonte begins, a calcareous agglomerate eroded during millions
of years by the waves and by the wind. After few minutes of voyage you will start enjoying a real spectacle offered by the nature of this tract
of coast: the block of Pedra Longa, a 128 metres pinnacle, large at the base and thin at the top, rises directly from the sea.
Further on Capo di Monte Santo appears, which hides three wonderful small coves, Porto Iltiera, Porto
Cuau and Porto Pedrosu; it is possible to land on the last as at the end of the small fiord you will find a charming
stretch of pebbles. The beginning of the Orosei Gulf is marked by the lovely Goloritzè Cove (reachable
only by the Golgo plateau) and, after that, the wonderful Mariolu Cove materializes in front of you: a place that is sheer
paradise, where the grey of the cliffs dropping straight into water contrasts with the turquoise of the sea and the white of the rocks, where
people who like snorkelling or diving will find multicoloured fish. You will never forget the limpidity of the sea, due to a shoal composed of
very thin sand and polished pebbles. Further on the Bue Marino coast ( “bue marino” means “dugong”)
begins, so called because years ago the dugongs used to live there; but, as soon as the crags turn into a thick wood of holm-oaks,
Biriola appears, a small cove with red and unreachable cliffs. The last stage of the most beautiful and wild coast in Italy is
Sisine Cove, which is preceeded by very high vertical cliffs rising from the sea for 600 metres and more, over which Serra
Ovara plateau extends.
In just one day you will enjoy a unique voyage that you will remember forever.
