Local boat operator · City harbor, Cagliari
A 2-hour trip on a maxi zodiac from the city harbor to the coves of the Devil's Saddle, with 10 to 12 people on board and a guide. Pick it when time or budget is short: the lowest price for a guided boat on this site, and still three swims.
The meeting point is in Cagliari's city harbor, pinned on the listing with the Plus Code 55R7+M3. Open the map in your booking to find the exact spot, and be at the dock 20 minutes before the start: the tour leaves on time and does not wait.
The boats are maxi zodiacs of 8.5 and 10 meters, spacious RIBs that take 10 to 12 people as a shared group; the crew uses the white or the black boat depending on numbers. You speed across the harbor and along the limestone coast to the Devil's Saddle, then drop anchor in the coves the listing names: Cala Fighera, Calamosca and the natural pools. On the 2-hour tour you get 3 swim stops of about 25 minutes each (the 3-hour option has 3 stops of 40 minutes). Snorkel gear is on board and the guide explains the highlights as you go.
Included: the guide, the snorkel gear and 1 to 2 glasses of homemade white wine. Not included: hotel pickup and other food and drinks, so bring water and a snack. The trip is not suitable for pregnant women, people with mobility problems or people prone to seasickness, per the listing. A friendly tip: book a morning slot if you can. The listing says mornings usually have calm water, lunchtime can bring a sea breeze and afternoons some wind and waves.

★★★★★Excellent boat tour, guide spoke good English and was knowledgeable. Wasn’t scared to share the wine around. Stunning views and lovely water at this time of year (October)
★★★★★Was such a great, chill day! The water was gorgeous and our guide was incredibly smart and friendly. Would definitely recommend!
★★★★★A wonderful experience, absolutely to be repeated. [...] He also gave us some tips for the vacation in general that weren't obvious. I recommend it to everyone at least once, both for the wonderful places to visit and for the experience itself.
★★★★★To say it was beautiful is an understatement. Together with Tommaso, the skipper, we saw [...] places and swam in dreamlike coves. We were immersed for about 2 hours in a Sardinian paradise. I highly recommend it.
