East Coast Hike Adventure

While tourists crowd Sardinia's resorts, the East Coast's paths and countryside reveal a hiking paradise accessible only on foot or boat.

Trek ancient shepherd's trails, coastal paths through Mediterranean scrub, forest tracks, and limestone cliffs—different terrain brings new adventures every day.

Five days hiking Sardinia's rugged coast, including sections of the Selvaggio Blu—one of Italy's most challenging and rewarding multi-day treks.

Ground support moves your main kit by van and boat, so you only carry a daypack while tackling overnight expeditions.

Crystal blue waters and secluded bays reward morning hikes. Cool off tired muscles and snorkel among marine life in the Mediterranean.

No electricity, no showers, minimal toilets. What you get instead: incredible locations, serious scenery, and authentic Sardinian countryside with brilliant women.

One night camping at a working agriturismo. Basic facilities, first-class hospitality, dinner from fresh local produce, and access to an actual shower.

Enjoy delicious Sardinian cuisine—fresh salads, local restaurant dinners, and one unforgettable evening when meals arrive by boat to the beach.

This is your chance to hike Sardinia's rugged East Coast. Five days trekking ancient shepherd's paths, tackling steep coastal climbs, and covering sections of the Selvaggio Blu, one of Italy's most challenging multi-day hikes. You'll wind through dense Mediterranean forest, follow rivers to hidden coves, and reach clifftops with views that make the effort worthwhile.

This trip suits anyone with hiking experience who's ready to move from day hikes to off-grid overnight expeditions (with hotel stays at the start and end). Ground support moves your main kit by van and boat, so you only carry a daypack with layers, water, sunscreen, and (all important) snacks.

Crystal blue waters, bays only accessible after a morning's hike, and evening swims as the sun drops. The coastal paths offer plenty of chances to cool off and ease tired muscles in the Mediterranean. Clear waters are ideal for snorkelling and spotting marine life.

Three nights camping in the Sardinian countryside, two of them completely off-grid. No electricity, no showers, very limited toilet facilities. What you get instead: incredible locations, meals with serious scenery, a real taste of Sardinia's countryside, and brilliant women to share it with.

One night camping at a shepherd's farm for a taste of Agriturismo. Basic facilities, first-class hospitality. Pitch your tent, enjoy dinner made from fresh local produce, and—here's the win—access to a hot shower.

Afternoon: We'll pick you up from Olbia airport and drive 2.5 hours to our hiker's refuge on the Golgo Plateau. Get settled into your twin room at this simple, clean base.

Evening: Depending on arrival time, there's a chance for a short walk to see the dramatic rock faces. Then group dinner, introductions, and a briefing from our local guides.

Morning: Breakfast at the refuge, then we hit the trail. Today's a 14km circular route on ancient shepherd's paths and your first look at the Gulf of Orosei's 30km coastline.

Afternoon: Trek to a secluded white sand beach with bright blue water, overlooked by a 100m limestone pinnacle. Lunch and a swim here before heading back to the refuge (once you’ve dried off - it won’t take long!)

Evening: Back to the refuge, then dinner at a local restaurant. After that hike you'll sleep well tonight.

Morning: Pack a smaller duffel bag with the essentials for the next two nights. Today's an 8km beach-to-beach hike along the Selvaggio Blu, one of Italy's toughest multi-day routes. We've chosen a less technical section though, so no rope skills are required.

Afternoon: Trek through dense Mediterranean vegetation to a small cove with pink and white sand, surrounded by 500m cliffs. The bay is only accessible on foot, so you might have it to yourselves. Once you’re done enjoying the beach, a boat pickup will take you to your campsite for the night.

Evening: Set up tents and watch the day-trippers leave. Group dinner at camp, then the beach is yours.

Morning: Breakfast at camp, take down the tents, then it’s a 9.5km hike to the next beach. The coastal path winds through dense forest, before opening up to jaw-dropping rock formations.

Afternoon: Follow the river down to a long sandy beach backed by caves carved into limestone cliffs.

Evening: Wild camp on the beach, with dinner delivered by a local restaurant. There are no showers, and the nearest toilet's a 10-minute walk away - this is off-grid camping.

Morning: Breakfast on the beach and time to swim, relax and take in the views.

Afternoon: A shorter 6.5km hike on an ancient shepherd's trail - the kind that doesn't appear in guidebooks. Our local guides know these paths, passed down through generations of shepherds who've worked this land.

Evening: Camp at a shepherd's farm (cold showers available). Dinner with the shepherd's family for some authentic Sardinian hospitality.

Morning: Breakfast at the farm, then a 9.5km hike through forests to the final bay. 

Afternoon: Rest time at the beach before hiking to a small coastal town and your final destination. A gelato stop is essential.

Evening: Take a short transfer to an agriturismo overlooking the lake in the Supramonte mountains for your celebration dinner. Then check into your hotel for one last night.

Morning: Breakfast at the hotel. Take in the mountain views and make the most of your free time before getting the transfer back to Olbia airport.
