Come with us to discover a land with green pastures, Mediterranean scents, abandoned mines and caves carved from rock. Our Safari starts on Sinis Peninsula where we cycle along the sea, hugging a dramatic coastline where the water sparkles aqua green and Majestic cliffs tumble from rugged landscape. Lunch stops are often on unspoilt beaches while we sample the delights of an Italian picnic!
The tour takes us through Medieval villages such as Bosa and Calasetta, passing colonies of pink flamingos, en route to one of the most beautiful spots on the island: the white quartz beach of Is Arutas.
We continue along quiet country roads following the slow rhythm of Italian life, before finishing up on a high as we cycle along the wonderful "Costa de Sud", a dramatic 20 km cycle along Sardinia's southern coast.

Wonderful accommodations, all very different but variety provided good exposure to Sardegna.
The route was beautiful and at times quite rigorous. Without a support vehicle we would recommend that the rider have some good preparation for steep inclines.
Bicycles were adequate for the terrain and were tuned well.
K Maginn ( Sardinia 2019 )
This cycling trip was great again! This tour took us along a wild and unspoilt coast of Sardinia on beautiful quiet roads with stunning views.
I can assure you, the hotels were good as always, when I have been traveling with you.
Most of them were family run and had a very friendly atmosphere.
