Descend through ancient macchia scrubland to Cala Goloritzè, a UNESCO Natural Monument where a soaring limestone pinnacle plunges into jade-green water. Access is strictly limited — making every visit feel like a genuine privilege.
What to expect
The trail descends roughly 400 metres through juniper and wild rosemary, with panoramic Gulf of Orosei views unfolding at every switchback. Your expert guide narrates the geology of the karst pinnacle and the Nuragic history of the region. At the beach, the water is a theatrical sequence of emerald, aquamarine and cobalt — perfect for a cooling swim. The ascent back is unhurried, with natural shade and stops for wild herbs and views.
Good to know
Access to Cala Goloritzè is strictly permit-controlled; your guide handles this. Departs from Baunei/Santa Maria Navarrese, approx. 1.5 hrs from Cagliari. Wear proper trail shoes and bring sunscreen. Best suited for all-aboard times no earlier than 19:00.
