What to expect

Visit one of the most spectacular canyons in Europe and the most famous in Sardinia: the Gorropu Gorge! The guided path, through sections of primary forest of holms, oaks and strawberry bushes that survived the blows of the woodcutters in the last century, will be particularly suggestive and panoramic; you will walk among high rocky walls, Mediterranean forests, and intense scents that nature will offer you. Once in the canyon, you will reach large white boulders smoothed by years of water erosion, and you will stand between walls of 500 meters towering above you.

After the meeting with the guide, you will walk along a dirt road of about 4 km downhill until you get to Gorropu. The visit of the Canyon will be about 2 km and then return to the meeting place after about 4 km uphill. During the experience, in some parts of the path, you will walk in the bed of the Canyon among large rocky boulders.

Guided tour of Costa Smeralda with Porto Cervo and beach time

San Pantaleo is known for its low-key rustic charm, with narrow streets and stone buildings that give it a traditional and authentic feel. The village square is the heart of San Pantaleo, and it is here that visitors can browse the small shops run by local artisans, selling traditional and unique handicrafts and Sardinian produce.In total contrast, Costa Smeralda is a sleek destination with Porto Cervo at its luxurious heart. Take a guided tour to see its marina packed with millionaire yachts and maybe mingle with the jet set. Soak up all the glamour from one of the pavement-side cafes, or in the designer shops and high-end boutiques.The last stop is Baia Sardinia, a glorious beach where you can enjoy some free time to relax, swim, or take a break in a beach bar. The fine sand invites you to linger, while the beach is bookended by rocky outcrops perfect for snorkelling or rock-pooling. We'll take a scenic route back to base with views over the coast and countryside.
