Prima Sardegna

Who they are

Prima Sardegna is a tourist services agency in Cala Gonone, the coastal village of Dorgali, on the Gulf of Orosei. The company that runs it is Prima Sardegna di Nicola Carta & C. S.a.s., and its website says it has worked since 1995 (the header says 1994), so it has been in the village for more than thirty years. It has its office at Viale Lungomare Palmasera, 32, on the seafront, and that is where the equipment is collected and the kayak outings begin.

What it organises

Its best-known activity is sea kayaking along the coast of the gulf. There is a half-day outing, from 9:00 to 13:00, that goes from Cala Gonone past Palmasera beach, Cala Fuili and Cala di Ziu Martine to the Grotte del Bue Marino, with about 3.5 km of paddling each way. The full-day one leaves at 9:00 and reaches Cala Luna via the Bue Marino, Oddoana and Ziu Santoru, with about 6.5 km each way. There is also a trekking and kayak combination: you walk from Cala Fuili to Cala Luna (about two hours, 5 km, medium difficulty) and return paddling, and a two-day nautical camp to Cala Sisine with a night on the beach. The website says kayaking is offered all year.

Mind one detail: on these kayak outings the guide is not included. You hire the kayak and paddle on your own; for groups an escort can be requested with a separate quote. For beginners they recommend a sit-on-top kayak. The equipment includes paddle, life jacket, dry bag (one for every two people), waterproof phone case, mooring line, sponge, spray skirt and pump. Food, drink and entry to the Grotte del Bue Marino, which is bought separately online, are not included.

The agency also organises walking excursions in the Supramonte with environmental guides: the Gorropu gorge, the Nuragic village of Tiscali, Cala Luna or Cala Goloritzé, with off-road transfers to the more remote areas. For those going independently, it advises doing only the easy routes. With mountain guides it offers the Selvaggio Blu, via ferratas, abseils, dry and water canyoning, climbing and courses. The offer is completed by inflatable-boat mini-cruises around the gulf, with stops such as the Bue Marino, Cala Luna and Cala Mariolu, car and motorbike hire and transfers with a driver.

Bookings, prices and languages

You book from the contact page of its website, by phone on +39 0784 93367 or the mobile +39 349 679 2109, or by email at [email protected]. The 2026 prices are not on the text pages but in three downloadable PDFs: kayak and excursions, transfers and mini-cruises. The website does not publish cancellation conditions, minimum age or group size, except for the kayak trek, which requires a minimum number of participants; it is worth asking when you book. The kayak outings are served in Italian and English.
