When the motor eases away from La Cinta’s shallow shoals, the world opens into a sequence of blue rooms—turquoise coves, wind-carved granite sculptures and limestone teeth that catch sunlight like coins. The boat threads between Molara’s natural pools and the dramatic silhouette of Tavolara, and the sea dares you to dive in.

Conservation
The area is part of the Tavolara–Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area; visitors should avoid feeding wildlife, respect no-landing zones and use reef-safe products.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming to protect marine life in the Tavolara Marine Protected Area.
Wear water shoes
Stony shorelines and boat ladders make sturdy water shoes useful for entering and exiting the water and walking on rocks.
Protect valuables from salt
Keep phones and documents in waterproof pouches and secure them under shade to prevent sun and salt damage.
Plan for limited shade
Bring a hat and long-sleeve UV layer—the boat offers little permanent shade during midday stops.
Snorkel mask and fins
Personal snorkel gear fits better than rental options and improves underwater visibility.
