In a nutshell

Costa introduces a new way to explore the city: a new experience offering the same quality, safety and duration as always, now reserved for small groups. Bays, caves, coves... and back again! Discover the sea of Sardinia in an inflatable boat on the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Cagliari, including the promontory of the Devil's Saddle and Poetto beach, the favorite spot of Cagliari natives. After a refreshing dip at Cala Fighera, all you need is an authentic Sardinian aperitif. Don't you think we've thought about that?

The programme

The real character of Sardinia is best experienced from the water, between stretches of coastline and hidden inlets just waiting to be discovered in an inflatable boat. Ready? Let's go!
You'll skirt along past the beach of Calamosca and the village of Sant'Elias, with its ancient lazaret that has become a center of art and culture, passing coves, caves, cliffs and secluded corners that are only accessible by boat, such as the Grotta dei Colombi: it has long been inhabited by wild doves.
In front of Cala Fighera, the sea is calling. it is such an intense emerald green that you won't be able to resist a swim off this pristine beach, sheltered from the winds and the chaos of the city.
The last surprise awaits you at the Devil's Saddle, the promontory with a legendary name: it is rumored that Lucifer lost his saddle here whilst doing battle with the angels over this stretch of sea. And that when this fell into the water, it turned to stone, creating this curious rock formation.
After so many gems, it's time for a typical aperitif. Enjoy it while admiring the sun, the sea and Poetto beach, a must for Cagliari natives all year round.
