Cala Gonone: things to do, experiences and activities

Cala Gonone: experiences between sea, adventure and tradition in the Gulf of Orosei

Cala Gonone is one of the most beloved destinations in Eastern Sardinia, nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Orosei, where limestone mountains and crystal-clear sea meet in perfect harmony. It's the starting point for some of the island’s most enchanting boat trips, ideal for exploring legendary coves like Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzè — natural paradises only reachable by sea or after long hikes.
For trekkers, Cala Gonone offers numerous hiking trails through canyons, forests and spectacular caves. Off-road excursions allow you to explore lesser-known areas, immersing yourself in the wild beauty of the Supramonte, passing ancient shepherd huts, panoramic trails and breathtaking vistas.
The area also maintains a strong cultural identity, revealed through guided tours of nuragic archaeological sites and traditional customs. Complementing these are food & wine experiences led by local producers and chefs — from cheeses and wines to dishes of Barbagia cuisine, each bite tells a story of the land’s soul.
With Escursì, you can experience Cala Gonone in all its facets — choosing authentic, sustainable activities led by local professionals. Every excursion becomes a journey into the most genuine Sardinia, blending adventure, flavors and beauty.
