Overview

This 5-hour boat tour in Palau sails along the Costa Smeralda coast on a hybrid-powered vessel that reduces environmental impact while offering a quiet ride. The tour is limited to 12 people for a small group experience. Departure is from the Tourist Port of Palau. The boat passes the Bear Rock (Roccia dell’Orso), a natural granite formation shaped like a bear, then continues past Baia Sardinia and the fjord of Poltu Quatu, both known for clear waters and scenic views. The first swim stop is at Grande Pevero beach, a long white-sand beach surrounded by green hills where guests can swim or snorkel. Next, the boat moves to Baia del Principe, a quiet bay with emerald waters and natural scenery, followed by a cruise past Cala di Volpe, noted for its luxury hotel and seaside views. The final swim stop is at Liscia Ruja ("Long Beach"), where guests can swim or relax on the sandy shore with calm waters. The return trip to Palau includes a Sardinian-style aperitif on board, featuring assorted drinks including prosecco, wine, beer, and mirto, along with carasau bread stuffed with local ingredients. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available. A professional skipper and onboard assistant manage the trip. Snorkeling equipment is not included but may be brought or purchased on board.
