Cagliari: Day Trip to Cave of Neptune Private Experience

Departing from Cagliari, drive for 2.5-hours in a minivan through the amazing Sardinian countryside towards the northwest of the island.

Once arrive in Alghero, you'll board a group boat tour towards Capo Caccia. By boat, you can admire the beauty of this unspoiled territory and quickly visit all of the coasts. The trip takes around 35 minutes, and it's an excellent opportunity to admire the fantastic cliffs from the seaside.

One of the fascinating natural jewels in the entire Mediterranean basin, the grotto is a veritable geological wonder that attracts over 150,000 visitors per year. It is accessible by sea or on foot via "Escala del Cabirol" ("Billy Goat Stairs'), a set of 660 steps cut into the cliffside. Inside the cave, carved out for millions of years by the water, there is the beautiful La Marmora lake, about 120 meters long, a tribute to Alberto La Marmora, the Italian geographer after whom it takes its name, who first of all explored these shores. All around the lake, you can found numerous columns of stalactites and stalagmites that can reach a height varying from 10 to 15 meters. On the right, you can see, finally, a small beach, once used by the monk seals from the Central Mediterranean, species now extinct.

Your local guide will be keen to make the tour as personal as possible. He will assist you with his expertise and recall amusing anecdotes for you before driving you back to your hotel.
