Today visitors who come to the cave on our boats can access the southern branch and along an easy walkway find themselves admiring one of the most beautiful and famous caves in Italy. The tour inside takes about an hour during which expert guides are on hand to provide historical and scientific information about the cave and the fauna that inhabited it.

An 800-meter-long tongue of sand, a white crescent with six huge caves opening on the shore and in the background, as a crown, an oleander forest preceded by a freshwater pond.

What people are saying about Dorgali

It was super nice! Even though we were a mixed group, the guild made sure she spoke in both German and English, such that everybody was able to enjoy the experience and understand the explanations about various objects from the road. We even went to the Sorgenti su Gologone afterwards, which wasn't part of the trip, but the guid went out of her way to take us there to enjoy some nice spring water

We did this excursion in the summer and despite the heat the accuracy of our guide to take us for most of the route in shady areas made the difference. Melina was a careful and precise guide. Tiscali is an enchanted place that I recommend everyone to visit once in a lifetime ...
