Santa Maria Navarrese: Goloritzè, Mariolu, & Biriala Cruise

This boat tour was easily the best part of my time in Sardinia. Antonello shares the coastline with real depth—he knows the history, the geology, the local stories—and presents it all with clarity and genuine enthusiasm. The places we visited felt personal, not just photogenic: quiet coves, beaches only accessible by boat, cliffs shaped by time and weather. What made the experience stand out even more was Antonello himself. He didn’t just guide us—he welcomed us. From thoughtful recommendations to small conversations that made the day feel easy and real, it was clear he cares about sharing this part of the island in an honest way. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like being shown around by someone who truly knows and loves the place.

Superb trip, booked late with a days notice and was unsure. However fully recommend this trip. The beaches and the sights are phenomenal but what set it apart for me was the captain, Silverio. Such a warm soul, a Sardinian through and through. So proud to share this island with you and give you an experience. If I was going to Sardinia next week I would book this tour again.
