The Selvaggio Blu: Adventure trek in Sardinia

After a delicious breakfast at our B&B, we'll head to the famous Pedra Longa for a day of climbing. We'll start by climbing at a training crag by the sea to get a feel for the exposed terrain and learn the rope techniques needed for the Selvaggio Blu route. It will be a perfect day to warm up and get to know the other members of the group, all while enjoying the exceptional views of the crystal-clear sea that characterize this region of Sardinia!

In the late afternoon, we'll embark on an approximately one-hour hike through the Mediterranean forest to reach our campsite for the night: a charming sheepfold offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of Santa Maria. Mariano and his wife will be delighted to prepare a sumptuous dinner for us, using produce from their farm, for a culinary experience fit for a king!

After an idyllic breakfast on the terrace of our charming sheepfold, we prepare our bags to begin our first day of trekking and adventure.

We'll take a minibus for an approximately one-hour transfer to the end of the road, where our trail to Punta Salinas begins. A one-and-a-half-hour hike awaits us to reach the top of the seven magnificent rappels that will lead us to the base of the Guglia de Goloritzé and its idyllic cove! Throughout the day, we'll enjoy breathtaking views of this stretch of coastline, where our next adventures will unfold in the coming days.

In the late afternoon, we'll arrive at the cove and, after a refreshing swim, we'll board a boat to the camp where we'll spend two nights: Cala Mariolu. The boat will drop us off along the coast, and then we'll hike up through the lush Mediterranean forest just above the cove to set up our tents and camp. Here, teamwork is key!

Once our campsite is set up, we'll enjoy our wild evening by the sea, under the stars, savoring a delicious dinner carefully prepared by a local restaurant and delivered by our logistics team by boat. This routine will be our evening ritual for the days to come!

We set off lightly equipped for a 90-minute hike to reach a 60-meter pendulum rappel. Once at the bottom, we access a via ferrata equipped with rungs, with sections of juniper tied to the rocks to facilitate passage, creating a sort of rope bridge. From the top of the via ferrata, we begin the return journey to our base camp.

Since the day wasn't very busy, it left us time to enjoy the idyllic Cala Mariolu beach in the afternoon!

Let's embark on a breathtaking day of rappelling! After a hearty breakfast, we'll pack up our tents and camp to load our gear onto the boat, which will resupply us for the day. It promises to be a busy day: we'll set off around 8 a.m. for an exhilarating day combining hiking and rappelling, including a 45-meter pendulum rappel, with climbing sections along cliffs and in caves.

At the end of the day, we will reach our new bivouac for the night: Cala Biriala.

It promises to be a long day, with a very early start in store! After loading the boat, we'll depart from the famous Grotta del Fico. Our route will begin with a series of climbs and rappels above the sea, through a fascinating cave landscape. We'll enjoy some magnificent trekking sections during the day, crossing a large scree slope to reach the final rappel before arriving at Cala Sisine, where we'll board the boat back to Santa Maria.

Back at our B&B, a refreshing shower will be in order, as is often the case after such an intense day ;)

We will conclude this memorable adventure with a delicious dinner in a typical Sardinian restaurant, an excellent way to end our journey and start planning the next one!

After a pleasant group breakfast and a final stroll through the coastal village, our departure from Santa Maria is scheduled for around 10:00 AM. Please allow approximately 2.5 hours for the transfer to Olbia Airport, where we should arrive around 12:30/1:00 PM.

We advise you not to book a return flight before 3:30pm to ensure a comfortable margin.
