We booked via our hotel’s excursion counter. When you reach the port, it’s a chaos as you don’t know which boat to get on and there are 100s of people but there are lots of staff to guide you to the correct boat. The boat was not crowded
We we reached the cave, we were separated into Italian and English speaking group, the guide was very informative and explained the formation of the cave nicely. The inside of the cave was amazing, initially I thought I’d feel claustrophobic but the path is wide and well lot, you go in and come out the same route and the guide told us that if at any point anyone wanted to return they could, which was a relief but I was fine. The cost for entry to the cave was €12. You also have to pay €3 per person environmental tax
This is a must visit place and I highly recommend it
We were then taken to Cala Luna by boat. This is the best beach in the gulf Of Orosei. Clear water and Sandy beach. When you get off the boat, if you go to the Beach on the right, you can actually stay inside the cave to avoid the sun but the beach on this side has large pebbles on the bed of the sea whereas the other side is very Sandy. I went there twice and used both sides. I highly recommend visiting this beach. Only issue is, it’s accessible only by boat or a long hike...
Read moreAbsolutely amazing horizontal cave. We bought our tickets (9 euros per person) in the port of Cala Gonone and took a small ferry for 13 euros per person to get to the cave. Just the view from the ferry was fantastic along the coast with its beaches and anses.
We explore with a guide 1 km of the horizontal cave while there are 8 km explored so far in total in the south part of the cave. The north part of it, which is 9 km long, is not accessible in 2018 because of some work. The north part is accessible by foot only from Cala Fuili.
Our guide was not fluent in English and was pretty difficult to understand, but I hand the chance to come back with another one from who I got some interesting answers. The visit was divided into two groups: English speaking and Italian speaking.
Note that is possible to leave your belonging before you enter.
No that pictures are not allowed in the cave mainly because the flash could damage the surface of the cave. Also pictures without flash from a decree of the...
Read moreVisiting the cave was a real wonderful experience. We took the boat from Cala Gonone which brought us to a pier built-in at the entrance to the cave. The visit took 1 hour and after we continued south, to the other beaches from Golfo di Orosei. There are three rivers that form the huge hidrological system of the cave: the South, the North and the central river system. The turistic trail is 1 km long on the south river. On the end of the tour you can see the place where the river actualy flow in to the șea. It is another entrance accesible by foot from the Cala Fuili - Cala Luna path, which get in to the North river system. The systems are conected throgh several siphons (underwater galleries). Unfortunately, the entrance in the North river system is closed for the moment because the company that manage the cave didn' found a gardian willling to cover the 45 min distance by foot...
