  • Optional subterranean tour inside the grotto
What to expect

It may be named after the Roman god of the sea – but Neptune's Grotto was discovered only a couple of hundred years ago. Hidden just above the water level at the base of the towering and remote Capo Caccia cliffs, the grotto is one of Sardinia's most dramatic natural attractions.

After sailing from the harbour, you'll pass rugged coastline before reaching the grotto in under an hour. On arrival, you can choose whether to go in to Neptune's Grotto or not. If you do, you'll see stalactites biting down like incisors from the roof of the cave and stalagmites stabbing up from the floor like daggers, and a saltwater lake that stretches out for 120 metres – all while having the geology expertly brought to life by your local guide.

If you choose not to take the subterranean tour, you can stay on board basking in the sunshine. Either option is a great way to spend some time before a leisurely trip back to port.

    Obwohl ich eine errinerrungs mail von TUI erhalten habe. Und 270 jm extra für diesen ausflug in kauf genommen habe musste ich vor ort erfahren das die Toure wegen wellengang ausgefallen ist. Konnte diese info nicht weitergegeben werden? Ich habe 1 tag und über 500km machen müssen in meinem wohlverdienten urlaub

    Die Bootsfahrt ist gut. Die Höhle lohnt sich nicht. Man wird in 20 Minuten durchgejagt und wenn kleine Kinder mal etwas sagen oder Fragen werden sie sofort von der Guide zur Ruhe gerufen. Auch das Englisch von der Dame ist so schlecht, das man kein Wort versteht.

    Unsere Buchung wurde zwar um einen Tag nach hinten verschoben- es wurde als Alternative aber die komplette Rückzahlung angeboten. Wir sind einen Tag später in den Genuss der absolut sehenswerten Grotte gekommen!

    Schöne Bootstour, die Neptungrotte war beeindruckend. Leider wurde man ziemlich "durchgetrieben" und hatte wenig Zeit, hier und dort mal stehen zu bleiben und das Naturwunder auf sich wirken zu lassen. Kapitän Antonio hat die Passagiere beim Eingang zur Grotte recht unfreundlich zur Eile gemahnt .

Market day in Bosa with guided tour and free time

The pretty fishing village of Bosa is just a short scenic drive along the coast from Alghero. It's considered one of the most beautiful of Sardinia's seaside retreats. And on this excursion, you'll have plenty of time to explore the handicraft market and old town, sit down for some lunch and soak up the laidback vibe. Valentina, one of our expert local guides, says, 'Apart from the castle, river and colourful houses climbing the hillside, Bosa is also famous for its Malvasia wine. It's a good bet if you are looking for a local variety to try with lunch.'As soon as you set foot in Bosa, you'll feel as if you've been transported back in time. Pastel-coloured houses flank the River Temo and character infuses every square centimetre. Lording it over the town is the hilltop Malaspina Castle – also known as Castello di Serravalle - which while a shell of its former glory boasts a remarkable medieval chapel adorned with fragile frescoes. Valentina adds, 'The oldest part of town is near the river. It wasn't until the castle was built that people chose to live away from the river, hoping for protection from the castle.'You'll enjoy a guided tour of the town to discover some of its secrets, and then free time to be able to browse the stalls at the weekly market where artisans and locals sell their own produce and goods. You'll also have time to find a restaurant to tuck into a local lunch, if you like. There's no rushing around on this tour, so you'll truly experience authentic Sardinia.
