Tours are available in the morning or in the afternoon:
• Morning tour: meeting time at 9:30 AM
• Afternoon tour: meeting time at 2:30 PM

What to bring:
• Swimsuit and towel
• Closed shoes or trekking shoes
• Water and snacks
• Sunscreen for the off-road drive
• A light jacket, especially if the day is cool or windy

Participants are welcomed by the guide, who briefly explains the day’s program and provides useful information to ensure the excursion is enjoyed in complete safety and comfort. After introductions, everyone boards the off-road vehicles and sets off toward the inland area, gradually leaving the coast behind and venturing into one of the most evocative and lesser-known regions of Gallura.

The route follows dirt roads and natural tracks, often used in the past by local shepherds and farmers. The 4×4 vehicles easily handle climbs, descents, and rougher sections, offering a dynamic and enjoyable experience. All around, nature reigns supreme: holm oak and cork oak forests, wind-shaped granite rocks, and the intense scents of myrtle, strawberry tree, and helichrysum accompany the journey.

During the ascent toward Monte Nieddu, panoramic stops provide the opportunity to admire breathtaking views over the north-eastern coast of Sardinia. From these privileged viewpoints, the scenery opens up over the Gulf of Olbia, the San Teodoro lagoon, and the unmistakable silhouette of Tavolara Island rising from the sea. Along the way, the guide enriches the experience with stories and insights into the history of the area, Gallurese rural life, and the traditions that still characterize this mountainous region today.

The tour then continues toward the Rio Pitrisconi area, one of the most fascinating highlights of the excursion. Here the vehicles are left behind for a short and easy walk along a well-accessible trail leading to waterfalls and natural pools carved into the granite rock over centuries. This unspoiled corner of nature represents the heart of the experience: the clear, cool waters invite a refreshing swim, while those who prefer to relax can enjoy the silence, the sound of flowing water, and the peaceful surroundings.

Time spent at the waterfalls allows guests to reconnect with nature, take stunning photographs, or simply pause to observe the environment, far from the crowds of the busiest beaches. It is a moment designed to slow down and experience the place with respect, fully immersed in the authentic atmosphere of Monte Nieddu.

After the break, the group returns to the vehicles to continue the excursion with a moment dedicated to relaxation and conviviality. In a green, natural setting, a light refreshment or tasting of typical Sardinian products is often offered: local cheeses, cured meats, traditional bread, and regional wines, which express the culture and identity of Sardinia through their flavors.

A 4×4 tour to Monte Nieddu is not just an excursion, but a true journey into the wildest and most authentic soul of Sardinia.
