Walking of 3 to 6 km most days on cobbles, stone steps and uneven archaeological ground, often in full sun; Cagliari's Castello and Bosa's old quarter are steep. Su Nuraxi has narrow passages and steep steps inside the towers. Neptune's Grotto is reached down about 650 steps cut into the cliff and back up, or by boat instead. The boat day includes swim stops and short walks on walkways in a sea cave. Drives are 1 to 2 hours on most days; days 3 and 6 total about 3 hours, split into two legs.

Soir

Fly into Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 8 km north west of the city on the edge of the Santa Gilla lagoon, in time for the early-evening briefing: plan to land by about 4 pm (the latest arrival time is confirmed with your final itinerary). A driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the short drive into the centre. Our hotel is central, within walking distance of the Marina quarter and the public lifts that climb to the old walled Castello. If you land early, walk the arcades of Via Roma along the harbour, or sit with a coffee in Piazza Yenne. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the week: the pace, the boat day and what the shepherds' lunch involves. Then we walk up to the Bastione di Saint Remy, a broad terrace on the old walls, for the evening view over the rooftops and the gulf, and go on to a welcome dinner of Sardinian dishes at a local restaurant.

Faune et météo : May and June bring days of about 22 to 28 C, green hills and the maquis in flower; September and October stay warm and the sea is at its warmest. July and August are crowded on the coast and often pass 35 C inland, so we do not run then. The mistral wind can blow for a day or two in any month and stops the boats. Flamingos feed in the Molentargius lagoons by Cagliari for most of the year, and griffon vultures are sometimes seen over the coast road between Bosa and Alghero.

Avant de réserver

Ce voyage est-il pour vous?

  • Anyone who prefers two-night stays and short drives to a new hotel every night
  • Solo travellers who want a small group and a published single supplement

Ce voyage ne vous convient pas si vous recherchez

  • Step-free access: old towns are steep, Su Nuraxi has narrow climbs and Neptune's Grotto has about 650 steps

Questions

What does the price include?

Seven nights in central hotels, 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 2 dinners, a private minivan and driver, airport transfers at Cagliari and Alghero, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, local and site guides, and every visit in the day plan, including the Gulf of Orosei boat and the Bue Marino cave, Neptune's Grotto, Su Nuraxi, Nora, the shepherds' lunch, all entries and city taxes.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests in one minivan, so everyone fits on one small boat on the Gulf of Orosei, sits round one table at the shepherds' lunch and moves through the narrow passages of Su Nuraxi without waiting for a coach group.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the welcome briefing in Cagliari to the airport in Alghero. Licensed local guides join us in Cagliari, at Nora, in Orgosolo, in Bosa and in Alghero, and site guides lead the visits at Su Nuraxi, the Bue Marino cave and Neptune's Grotto, where visits are guided only.

How fit do I need to be?

You should be comfortable walking 3 to 6 km a day on cobbles, steps and uneven ground in the sun. Su Nuraxi has narrow climbs inside the towers, and Neptune's Grotto is about 650 steps down and back up, but you can take the boat to the cave instead. The Tiscali hike is optional.

I am travelling solo. Do I pay a single supplement?

Only if you want your own room. The single supplement is CAD 840, published up front, about 17 percent of the price, with no surprise at checkout. If you would rather share, ask us and we will try to match you with a roommate of the same gender for the whole trip, with no rotating.

When is the best time to go to Sardinia?

May to June and September to October. Days are about 22 to 28 C, the boats are running and the coves are quiet enough to enjoy; September has the warmest sea. We do not run in July and August, when the coast is crowded and the interior often passes 35 C.

What happens if the sea is too rough for the boat?

The boat on the Gulf of Orosei does not sail in strong wind. If day 5 is rough, we go the next morning and leave later for Bosa. If we cannot sail at all, we walk part of the coast path from Cala Gonone and refund the boat. Neptune's Grotto can always be reached by the cliff steps.

What is the shepherds' lunch in Orgosolo?

A long lunch outdoors with a shepherd family in the holm oak woods of the Supramonte above Orgosolo: meat roasted slowly over the fire, pecorino, pane carasau and local Cannonau wine, with time to ask about their life with the flocks. It takes most of the afternoon and is included in the price.

How does booking work?

Choose a date and send a request to book. No payment is taken at that point. We confirm availability, your room and the final price within 24 hours, then send the booking terms and the payment schedule for you to accept before anything is charged.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, transfers and local guides.

Do Canadians need a visa for Italy?

No. Canadians can visit the Schengen area, including Italy, for up to 90 days without a visa, with a passport valid at least three months after you leave. The EU takes fingerprints and a photo at the border. ETIAS, the planned travel authorisation, is not yet in force and has no confirmed start date; we confirm requirements when you book.

Why are Corsica and the Costa Smeralda not on this trip?

Corsica means a ferry day from the far north, and the Costa Smeralda and the Maddalena islands would add another base and long drives. We spend that time in the interior instead, with the nuraghi and Barbagia, and on the Gulf of Orosei. A private version can add any of them; ask us for a quote.
