Highlights
Outing Highlights
A 30-mile sweep of hidden bays and porphyry coasts
The route reveals a lesser-traveled stretch of Sardinian shoreline — from Baia di Porto Frailis past Cala Ginepro and the Faraglioni of Cea to the rockier reaches beyond Capo Sferracavallo — with multiple photo-worthy coastal viewpoints along the way.
Photographic pauses at towers, beaches and natural pools
Staged stops include Torre di San Gemiliano, the spiaggia de “Su Sirboni” with its natural pools at Marina di Gairo, and the Baia di Cea to admire its Faraglioni — all presented as framed moments from the deck rather than long onshore hikes.
An afternoon run set to music, with drinks on board
Presented 'su un tappeto di musica,' the event blends sightseeing with a social, late-afternoon ambience and includes three consumptions (drinks or draft beer) per participant as part of the excursion package.
