Activity Overview
Hop on your board and head straight to sea caves and hidden coves you’d never find on your own, all completely cut off from the tourist trail (You’ll fall in at least once which is half the fun in Mediterranean waters this warm.) If you’ve never picked up a paddle before, our instructors will have you up and gliding in no time.
Some days you’ll paddle crystal clear coastal waters, others you’ll wind along the River Temo past ancient farmland, stopping for a swim whenever the mood strikes.
All levels are welcome. This isn’t about clocking distances or perfecting your stroke, it’s about exploring Sardinia’s coastline and reaching those spots far from the crowds.
Activity Overview
Trek on ancient trails that lead to viewpoints most people never see. Navigate rocky, uneven terrain and overgrown paths where rare vultures with six-foot wingspans circle on the thermals overhead.
Hike 3.5-10km through landscapes that switch from cliff-tops with sweeping Mediterranean views to secluded beaches perfect for snorkelling. It’s moderate terrain that rewards with those jaw-dropping moments.
You’re here for the adventure and the views, not the distance. Our guides also know exactly where to find the best swimming spots along the routes.
Activity Overview
The perfect way to unwind after days of paddling and hiking. Vinyasa classes take place in our indoor studio to build the balance and core strength you’ll actually use on the SUP board.
Your body will thank you for it. Dynamic sessions are tailored to the group – beginners learn fundamentals, experienced yogis get challenged. It’s functional movement that helps you recover and prepares you for the next day’s adventure.
Can’t touch your toes? That’s exactly where most people start.
Activity Overview
Halfway between scrambling and rock climbing, you’ll scale Sardinia’s cliffs using steel cables, metal steps, ladders and suspension bridges. It’s an adrenaline rush that gets your heart pumping, but you don’t need climbing experience or massive upper body strength.
Think adventure playground for adults. You’ll be clipped into safety cables the entire time, so it’s about conquering your nerves and enjoying the rush, not technical climbing skills.
Activity Overview
Get hands-on learning from local nonnas at a working farm with incredible views across the Sardinian countryside. These grandmothers have been making pasta for decades and you’ll learn techniques passed down through generations while surrounded by olive groves and farmland.
Roll, shape and create your own pasta from scratch, then sit down with a glass of local wine to eat what you’ve made.
The Destination
Your adventure starts here
We pick you up from the airport and drive to Bosa. Check into the hotel and get ready, your adventure starts tonight.
Head straight to the wine cave of Giovanni Battista Columbu, a local award-winning producer. Descend into ancient caves carved into rock to taste Malvasia di Bosa DOC, wines that grow nowhere else. A great way to get to know your new group too. After, dinner is served at a local restaurant.
Breakfast at the hotel, then head into the wilderness to find one of the last remaining griffon vulture colonies. This spot is perfectly preserved and completely off the tourist track. Push through until you reach Managu beach - a stunning cove where crystal clear water meets secluded sand. Swim, snorkel, and hunt for octopus hiding in the rocks.
Return to Bosa for lunch, legs burning from the morning's work. Then 2-3 hours of recovery before early evening yoga at our riverside studio. Your body will thank you for it.
Dinner at a local restaurant. Share stories from the day's adventure with the group.
Breakfast at the hotel, then hit the beach for your SUP session. Paddle along the dramatic coastline visiting stunning beaches away from the crowds. Weave in and out of sea caves carved by thousands of years of Mediterranean waves and navigate to hidden beaches completely cut off by cliffs. There's also plenty of time for swimming and exploring grottos accessible only from the water.
Lunch at a beach restaurant with unbeatable views. Afternoon will be spent relaxing at the beach and swimming before heading back to Bosa.
Free time to explore Bosa's cobblestone streets or chill out with a book before yoga and dinner together.
Breakfast at the hotel, then paddle down the Bosa river - the only navigable river in Sardinia.
Late lunch, then return to Bosa for free time. We can also arrange taxis to the local beaches to explore further if wanted.
Yoga at the riverside studio overlooking the water, then dinner at a local restaurant.
Breakfast at the hotel, then head down the coast to S'Archittu, a dramatic stretch of coastline with hidden caves and a natural limestone bridge 15 metres high. Watch brave locals jump from the arch into bright blue waters far below. Paddle through the arch yourself, exploring grottos and caves from the water. Navigate tight spaces between towering rock formations carved by wind and sea over millennia.
Packed lunch of freshly prepared pasta and salads on a secluded beach. Then paddle the bay and take a dip before returning to Bosa.
Early evening yoga to work out the knots, followed by dinner at a local restaurant.
Breakfast at the hotel, then drive inland to tackle Via Ferrata della Regina - 'The Queen.' This spectacular protected climbing route scales the cliffs of Su Monte with Lake Temo plunging far below your feet. Work your way up 2km of exposed cliff face using steel cables, ladders, and foot holds.
Packed lunch overlooking the lake, then drive back to Bosa for free time.
Time to unwind before our sunset boat cruise on the river with a glass of local wine. Watch the sun set over the Mediterranean.
Breakfast at the hotel, then explore a new stretch of coastline by SUP. Learn new skills as you discover hidden bays and swim in water so pristine you can see straight to the bottom.
Lunch on a secluded beach. Then time to explore the beach, swim and soak up your last day.
Tonight you're making dinner! Head to a local Agriturismo for a pasta-making workshop led by Sardinian grandmothers who've been rolling pasta for decades. Roll, shape, create ravioli from scratch. Then sit down with your group to eat what you've made.
Breakfast at the hotel. Snap some final photos, take in the last views and then get the transfer back to the airport.

Trails range from easy to moderate on rocky, uneven terrain, and the heat adds its own demands on top of the movement.

The answers
Not at all. Our instructor will get you up and paddling, but expect 3-5 hours on the water to work muscles you didn’t know you had. More experienced paddlers are welcome, but we tailor the pace for beginners.
This trip is rated moderate. You’ll be active 5-6 hours over consecutive days with SUP distances of 5-9km and hikes of 3.5-10km on rocky, uneven terrain. If you can handle full days outdoors, push through some discomfort, and don’t mind getting sweaty, you’ll manage.
Perfect. You don’t need to be flexible. Our instructor guides you through Vinyasa-based classes, adapting postures for your body and level. Never set foot on a mat? You’ll be fine.
We provide high-quality Red Paddle Co Sport boards, paddles, PFDs (air belts), snorkels, dry bags, and yoga mats. You don’t need your own board and if you do have one please leave it at home – we prefer you use ours for consistency and ease.
It’s a protected climbing route with steel cables, ladders, and zip wires – halfway between scrambling and rock climbing. You don’t need climbing experience though. If you’re afraid of heights, we encourage you to approach it with an open mind in our supportive environment. You can try a few sections at the beginning and we find many scared guests go on to complete the whole route.
You’ll mainly paddle in swimwear or sportswear with a hat and long-sleeved top – Mediterranean sunshine is relentless on the water. Hiking boots or trail running shoes with good grip are mandatory for hikes and the Via Ferrata. Aqua shoes are also needed for getting on and off boards in rocky areas.
Fly into Olbia Airport (recommended) or Alghero Airport (make your own way to the start point). We provide single timed transfers for each trip from Olbia Airport.
A group transfer is included on both the arrival and departure days. This is a shared transfer, running at fixed times to and from Olbia Airport.
There is one transfer each way, and your flight must match the timings. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to make your own arrangements.
Tuesday – Tuesday
Pick-up Point: Olbia Airport at 11:50
Drop-off Point: Olbia Airport at 9:20

There is no discount if you choose not to use the transfer.
You’ll need to arrange private transport to Bosa. From Olbia, private transfers cost €160 each way for 1-3 people. From Alghero, it’s €80 each way and there’s also direct bus service for approx €5.
It’s your usual warm Mediterranean weather with intense sun exposure, especially July and August. Temperatures can be genuinely hot with relentless sun, which is why we choose shorter hike distances and include swimming opportunities to cool off.
Our guides monitor conditions and have backup plans ready. If we can’t paddle, alternatives include additional hikes, coasteering, aqua-trekking, or extra yoga workshops. Safety first, but you’ll still get your adventure experience.
Budget for additional drinks and ice creams. All meals and activities are included, but you might want euros for personal extras during free time exploring cobblestone streets.
Not at all. We design flexibility into every trip because weather and conditions can change. Our guides adjust daily plans to ensure the best and safest experience. None of our itineraries are fixed – we move things around to make the most of conditions.
