    A fantastic day in natural Sardinia

    Michael_A, Jun 2025
    It was great! Its natural Sardinia away from the beaches. Bruno e-mailed plenty of pre tour information and during the tour he gave us a fantastic insight into the area and the wild side. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and very patient and helpful. The sardinian aperitifs were very tasty and delicious, and if we ate everything he was only too happy to replenish. The opportunity to sample some local liqueurs at the end was a wonderful finish to a wonderful day. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

    A beautiful adventure! A must-do if you are in San Teodoro and nearby areas.

    Highly recommended excursion! The nature reserve is stunning, and it feels like going on a safari in a tropical country. The off-road 4x4 Jeep Defender route is thrilling, and the guide Bruno always made us feel safe despite some exposed passages. The natural pools are sensational; they absolutely deserve a swim! Exceptional views and a final aperitif that is delicious and abundant with high-quality local products. I recommend wearing hiking shoes or at most sneakers to enjoy the walking passages on rocks safely - absolutely do not come with sandals! - so a minimum of training and the ability to walk on uneven terrain and rocks is also required. Do not blame the guide if you are not capable; choose another experience instead! Bruno was always very kind, he is very knowledgeable about everything, and he always gave us the option to choose whether or not to take the more technical routes. He is also very knowledgeable linguistically, explaining simultaneously in multiple languages, and always provides all the naturalistic information, especially about the local flora and geology.
