Book a boat operator familiar with the cave entry points, as surf and shore break make independent access impractical and the cavern sections require a guide if you are not already cavern-certified. Water temperature drops noticeably at depth, so a 7mm wetsuit or drysuit is worth considering outside the summer months.
Located in Località Capo Galera, Fertilia, about 15 minutes by car from Alghero.
