Your Itinerary

Domus De Janas

The first stop of the 4x4 tour, in fact, is in Oddoene to visit a "Domus de Janas" (house of the fairies), one of the many tombs carved into the rock dating back to the Neolithic period in Sardinia (around 4500 years BC). We will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the magical and indecipherable realities created by medieval popular fantasy. Amidst games, laughter, we will learn the profound cultural significance attributed to them by archaeologists and the popular beliefs of the local inhabitants.

Spiaggia di Capo Comino

We will then head towards the sea to the beach of the Saline di Capo Comino. The best preserved white sand dunes of the east coast, bathed by a crystalline sea protected by centuries-old junipers and home to some famous films. At this point we will have deserved a refreshing bath in its emerald waters before returning to Orosei.

We had a great day in the canyon with two families with four kids (6,9,10). Simone was a very interesting guide, motivating the kids when the going got tough and introducing us to the beauty of Sardinia.

With very short notice Simone organized for us a great tour of northern Sardinia! He also guided us on a day’s trekk in the mountains. Simone is very efficient, very responsive, very friendly, very knowledgeable and speaks several foreign languages. I would definitely recommend Simone for anyone wishing to discover this beautiful island off the beaten tracks!

A super great, beautiful, interesting and exciting tour with Melina. It was a lot of fun driving around in the Jeep. Learned a lot of new things about the island, no question was left unanswered and Melina is a great tour guide. We will definitely be back and book another trip. We had our little daughter (8 months) with us - that was no problem at all. Melina is very loving, helpful and understanding. 😀 Now we can show off our knowledge of Sardinia at home (history, flora and fauna, insider stories 😉) Thank you very much, dear Melina, and see you next time ❤️

Fantastic experience; the guide (Melina) was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Also suitable for small children; lunch with the shepherd was very good and interesting. Strongly recommended also for those who have been going to Sardinia for many years like us.

The Supramonte of Dorgali between the rocks and the forest, the Nuragic wells and the hours spent with a shepherd and his family. Real life, wild landscapes but a tour suitable for everyone because the short walks are accessible. It was my second excursion and the competence, sociability and joy of the guides, Melina and Maria, were confirmed. With the whole group we immediately felt at home, nourished by the views, by the explanations that were given to us and by the sensorial experiences (water from the wells, scent of the rocks and the forest, tastes and aromas of the shepherd's lunch, energy of the nuraghi).

Describing this life experience is fundamental for me, but it all begins with the creators of this experience Maria & Melina, two Professionals without any ifs or buts. Trusting them for this excursion was the dove's egg. They accompanied us on this excursion without sparing explanations and answers to our questions, always attentive to everything. The breathtaking landscapes, the local culture were indescribable experiences. I highly recommend this excursion and especially this organization because they don't do it for work but for passion. I attach photos of lunch with some shepherds Which you won't find in any Sardinian restaurant.

The whole excursion was real and pure fun with very qualified people: Maria and Melina, who allowed us to see the real Sardinia: the Supramonte. A beautiful lunch with a real family of Sardinian shepherds who welcomed us like family, preparing a lunch based on products made by their hands, including the myrtle that we stocked up on. What can I say: a special thank you to Melina and Maria, we will remember the experience they made us live forever. I recommend this type of excursion because it allows you to enter and get to know the heart of Sardinia. Furthermore, it satisfies those who do not love only and exclusively the sea.

Beautiful 4x4 excursion between sea and mountains, our guide Melina was fantastic!! Breathtaking views and beautiful landscapes.

A walk through the history and formation of the island. Archaeological visit to Neolithic vestiges, visit to the lighthouse with panoramic views and a dip in a beach with crystal-clear waters. An essential tour if you want to know Sardinia.
