This trekking is an unforgettable adventure that reveals the raw and untouched beauty of Sardinia’s eastern coast. 

Beginning with a boat transfer from Orosei, this challenging trek unfolds through a mosaic of breathtaking coastal views, dramatic limestone formations, and centuries-old shepherd shelters. The trail, little known even among locals, offers stunning panoramas stretching from Capo Comino in the north to Capo Monte Santo in the south. Hikers will marvel at the natural Lupiru Arch, a towering rock blade sculpted by the wind, and traverse landscapes that shift from lunar-like expanses to lush Mediterranean vegetation. After approximately 13 km of trekking and 1,400 meters of elevation gain, reaching Cala Sisine feels like a true conquest. The day concludes with a boat return along the scenic Gulf of Orosei.

I have always loved spending my time outdoors, between the sea and the mountains, until I decided to turn this passion into my profession. Despite holding a degree in Pedagogy, I chose to dedicate my life to outdoor activities, first obtaining all the necessary qualifications to work as a professional Skipper. During the summer season, I work in Sardinia, specifically in the renowned and breathtaking Gulf of Orosei. Later on, I followed my passion for the mountains by becoming a certified Environmental Hiking Guide. A few years ago, I decided to open my small agency with the aim of personally organizing and leading excursions for small groups, offering authentic experiences carefully curated in every detail. My desire is to show my island through my own eyes, with the respect and sense of wonder reserved for a land made up of many unique places, where ancient traditions have endured over time, where a mysterious history still surrounds our origins, and which is also known as the homeland of the Blue Zone. I mainly focus my trekking activities in the Supramonte area, where wild and imposing mountains, moving eastward, give way to dramatic cliffs overlooking one of the most beautiful seas in the world. Trekking activities take place from March to mid-June and from September to November. During the summer months, high temperatures and the scarcity of water in the mountains, due to the karst nature of the terrain, make hiking less safe and less suitable. What I offer are authentic and unforgettable experiences, in close contact with local communities, to be lived at a slow pace in order to fully enjoy every moment and every panoramic view. Sardinia deserves to be lived, discovered and respected, and if you wish, I will be the one to guide you on this adventure — a physical and emotional journey.

Route details

Your adventure begins early in the morning with a dinghy transfer from Orosei, timed according to the season. Upon reaching Cala Luna, one of the Gulf’s most iconic beaches, the trek begins with an awe-inspiring view that stretches across the entire coast. The path ascends steadily through rugged terrain toward the Lupiru Arch, an imposing limestone formation framing panoramic sea views. Continuing inland, the route crosses ancient sheepfolds of Onamarra and Irove Longu, where nature alternates between rocky, moon-like plains and dense Mediterranean forests. After 6–8 hours of trekking and short scenic stops, hikers arrive at Cala Sisine, a pristine cove surrounded by cliffs. Here, there’s time to rest, swim, and enjoy the view before the boat ride back to Orosei in the afternoon. 

For small groups, it’s possible to dine or bivouac at Su Cuile restaurant, with return the next morning by sea.
