Sant'Antioco Sea Tours with GEST.POR.TUR SRL

Off the southwestern coast of Sardegna, the island of Sant'Antioco offers a unique playground where sea and history converge. GEST.POR.TUR SRL brings this rugged maritime environment to life with their private eight-hour tour, "Sulla rotta dei Fenici," a journey that charts the waters once sailed by the Phoenicians. Departing from the quaint port town of Calasetta, this tour offers more than just a day on the water—it’s an immersive experience into the Sulcis archipelago’s coastal geology, marine ecosystems, and cultural heritage.

Sant'Antioco and its neighboring island, San Pietro, unfold a coastline carved from volcanic and sedimentary rock with coves shielded by cliffs, clear turquoise bays, and naturally sculpted caves. The area’s marine biodiversity is rich, and the tour guides you through habitats that are home to dolphins, seabirds, and vibrant underwater life.

The skipper’s expert knowledge adds depth to the cruise, sharing stories from ancient Phoenician navigators who once used these islands as strategic maritime hubs. Along the route, natural vistas are paired with cultural snapshots including fishing villages, historic landmarks, and the rugged silence of secluded beaches unreachable by road.

What sets GEST.POR.TUR SRL apart is their commitment to a smaller group experience that ensures intimate encounters with nature and history, away from mass tourism. By combining natural beauty with authentic local narratives, their tours elevate the Sulcis archipelago from a scenic spot to a destination for meaningful outdoor adventure.

The pristine waters also make it a prime spot for wildlife watchers and photographers hoping to catch dolphins at play or the shimmering coastline under changing Sardinian light. With attentive service, a knowledgeable crew, and the raw appeal of southwestern Sardinia’s seascape, this tour invites travelers to engage closely with one of Italy’s lesser-known coastal gems.
