Along the route from Fornelli to Cala d'Oliva, the northern end of the island, you will immerse yourself in the most unspoilt nature to encounter different specimens of the local fauna, such as the famous white donkey. During the excursion, there are several stops to admire the most interesting natural and historical sites, such as the Fornelli maximum security prison (the famous 41 bis).

The second part of the excursion will continue with navigation close to the coast, in search of the most sheltered and spectacular inlets. In these inlets, it will be possible to dive into the crystal-clear waters and visit its seabed.The excursion will end at 18:00, again in the port of Stintino.
Catamaran Trips
Excursions in the Asinara Park by catamaran provide three distinct solutions: the half-day excursion, the full-day excursion and the exclusive day excursion. The first solution, lasting 3 hours, involves two departures per day, one in the morning at 9:45 a.m. and one in the afternoon at 2:45 p.m., with embarkation from Stintino at Le Saline beach. The first leg of the excursion consists of a visit to the beautiful coves of the island of Asinara, where it will be possible to take a swim and explore the pristine seabed.
After the first stop, the crossing along the beautiful coastline of Stintino will continue towards the southern area of the island of Asinara, known as Fornelli. Once disembarked, it will be possible to take a walk in the park and visit the island's main points of interest, including the sea turtle recovery centre. The excursion includes a second stop during which it will be possible to snorkel and enjoy an aperitif served on board the boat.
Both excursions include the return to Stintino, again, at the le Saline beach, and as far as return times are concerned, the morning excursion will end at around 14:45 while the afternoon excursion will end at around 18:30.
Half-Day Sailing boat Excursions
Departure is always from the port of Stintino with the sailing boat Equinoxe. During navigation, the captain will give you a brief description of the appropriately chosen itinerary, depending on the sea weather conditions of the day.
On the island of Asinara, two landings are planned, at Cala D'Oliva or Fornelli and at Cala Reale where it will be possible to visit the C.R.A.M.A. (Centro Recupero Animali Marini Asinara - Asinara Marine Animals Recovery Centre), a small centre that deals mainly with the recovery, care and monitoring of 'Caretta Caretta' sea turtles and cetaceans.
Anchored in a bay, you will be offered lunch on board with: a starter, a fish dish, coffee and a good myrtle liqueur.
In the afternoon, on the way back, you will reach a second bay where you can take a swim, diving directly from the Equinoxe sailboat, after which you will return to Stintino at around 18:30.
