Description of the experience

An iconic stop on the Gulf of Orosei, Cala Luna is loved by Sardinians and tourists and reaching it by trekking on foot is an exciting experience to live with adrenaline pumping. You will experience a day between nature and the crystal clear sea in one of the most famous beaches in Sardinia for their pristine beauty.

We start from the Buchiarta area with a visit to the ancient sheepfolds typical of the Supramonte. Among stony ground and ancient mule tracks, we arrive at the gully of Su Molente, a path where you can observe the enormous centuries-old junipers and the numerous Mediterranean scrub shrubs, including the many aromatic plants whose medicinal and herbal uses we will discover together.

Having reached the majestic Canyon of Codula di Luna, the trek to Cala Luna continues on the arid river bed, among granite boulders and oleanders which, with their marvelous spring flowering, color the path towards the beach pink.

Once in Cala Luna, how can you not take a dip in the crystalline waters of the Gulf of Orosei? A stop in one of the characteristic karst caves along the beach cannot be missed.

We rest, enjoy the show and after lunch we retrace the canyon to face the most demanding route of the day, the ascent to the starting point from the gorge called S’Iscala ‘e S’Arga.

A curiosity about Cala Luna

Why is it called Cala Luna? The name probably comes from the shape of the beach which is similar to a half moon shape, although the original name comes from the Codule Ilune or Elune.
