Villasimius: Dinghy Tour of Isola dei Cavoli, Punta Molentis｜Italy

A unique experience that takes you to the most beautiful and exclusive places in the Villasimius Marine Park. We will choose coves that are only accessible by boat.


Our boat tour departs from the Porto Turistico di Villasimius. We sail in a south-easterly direction, admiring the striking Spanish tower known as the “Fortezza Vecchia”, a watchtower built to protect the territory from Barbarian invasions. We skirt the bay of Cala Caterina until we reach the promontory of Capo Carbonara, a rocky spit of land that plunges into crystal-clear waters.

Our first stop is a little further on, at Cavoli Island, a granite islet characterized by small coves with a white sandy bottom and a rich ecosystem. At the highest point of the island, you can visit its lighthouse, a landmark for navigation in the Gulf of Cagliari and for nature research. On the seabed near the island, at a depth of about 11 meters, there is a granite sculpture by Pinuccio Sciola depicting the Madonna del Naufrago. Weather permitting, you can go snorkeling with the group and dive down to admire it! Masks will be provided free of charge.

We leave the island, Porto Giunco beach, and Cava Usai beach behind to reach the second stop of the tour: Punta Molentis. With its crystal-clear water and fine sand, it is the most enchanting beach in the area. You can go down to the beach to enjoy a picture-postcard landscape.

The tour's last stop will be decided by the skipper based on the day's wind. The choices will be between Piscine di Venere Beach, where it will be impossible not to dive into its turquoise waters, and Cuccureddus Beach, enclosed between two cliffs and accessible only by private boats or organized tours.

Drinking water will be available to you free of charge for the entire tour duration.
