Morning light slides along sheer limestone walls as the RIB slips away from Cala Gonone and the Gulf of Orosei opens like a map of hidden coves. The skipper trims the bow and the coastline rewrites itself—small pebble beaches, sea caves punched into white rock, and water so clear the seabed seems to float beneath you.
