The way back

Don't fancy walking it twice? Cala Luna can also be reached from the sea: with a guided excursion or a rented dinghy from Cala Gonone harbour you can hike one way and come back by water.

Before you go

Before you go. Carry plenty of water (on many stretches there is none), hiking shoes, a hat and sun cream. Summers are very hot: start early. Phone signal is often missing: tell someone your route. Times are approximate and change with fitness and season. On expert routes, rely on a qualified local guide.

From trail to sea

The Gulf of Orosei is best enjoyed both on foot and by boat. Combine your trek with the sea, starting from Cala Gonone harbour.
