From €62.95

On a clear Mediterranean morning the coastline west of Alghero unfurls - a band of limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and glassy bays known locally as the Riviera del Corallo. Mini Crociera nel Golfo di Alghero runs a 7 ore e 30 minuti boat trip from Porto di Alghero (Molo Dogana, Bastioni) that stitches together the coastline's best moments: Cala Galera's pale sand, the sea-etched outcrops at Punta Giglio and Tramariglio, the towering face of Capo Caccia, and the sheltered crescent of Cala Dragunara.

Boarding with navisarda at the historic Molo Dogana, you'll join up to Max 45 persone for a morning and afternoon on the water. The route keeps sightlines varied: low pebble beaches and sheltered inlets give way to abrupt cliffs of pale sedimentary rock that plunge into clear turquoise water. Capo Caccia's cliffs are a dramatic geological landmark here - steep, karst-influenced walls that frame the horizon and feed caves and grottoes where sunlight fractures through sea spray.

This cruise is a mix of swimming stops and slow coastal cruising, ideal for travelers who want an unhurried taste of Sardinian shoreline without planning logistics. Expect guided narration about the coastline, short swims from the boat at Cala Galera or Tramariglio, and a longer pause near Cala Dragunara to stretch legs and photograph the shore before returning to port. The vessel's pace and the 7.5-hour length balance exploration with relaxation: plenty of time to sun, snorkel shallow reefs, and study the geology that made this stretch famous for red coral.

Why book this trip? It's one of the easiest ways to experience multiple landscapes in a single day - sandy coves, sea arches, reef patches, and sheer cliffs - without renting a car. For photographers and naturalists, the changing light on limestone faces and small seabird colonies make compelling subjects. For families, the combination of shallow swim spots and an organized boat schedule keeps the day simple and safe.

Practical details: meet at Porto di Alghero. Operated by navisarda, group size max 45 persone, duration 7 ore e 30 minuti. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, and a light jacket for sea breeze. Accessibility and pricing details should be confirmed at booking.

Historically this stretch earned the name Riviera del Corallo because generations of local divers harvested red coral from offshore beds, a cultural legacy visible in Alghero's craft shops and museums. Onboard, crew often point out traditional fishing grounds and place names. The cruise can be adapted for photographers and swimmers of varying skill; sea conditions matter, so flexible timing keeps the experience comfortable and safe.

This cruise is a high-value slice of the Riviera del Corallo: a coastal sampler that turns Alghero's iconic geology and clear water into a single memorable day on the sea.
