Sold out?
Arrive by sea
If the booking is sold out, a boat trip is the alternative way in: board with an authorised operator and you do not book the ticket separately, because it is already included.
Departures from: Santa Maria Navarrese · Arbatax · Cala Gonone
- This is the normal way in: nearly everyone arrives on scheduled boats or Gulf of Orosei day trips.

You cannot get there without a car
Do you need a hire car?
Cala Mariolu has no useful public transport: without a car it is effectively unreachable. The nearest airport is Olbia. In high season hire cars in Sardinia sell out weeks ahead and prices double close to the date.
