Sail tour aboard Merak to the Devil's saddle
When we meet, I will explain some basic safety rules regarding how to stay on board, and I will also talk briefly about the principles of sailing. We will then start the tour.
The suggested destination is the Sella del Diavolo ("Devil's Saddle") promontory, so called after an old legend. We will drop anchor to swim in crystal clear waters in a wonderful cove, and I will swim with you to discover secret caves.
If remaining time is enough, we will then sail in front of the Poetto beach.
During sailing, you will be taught the basic principles of sailing, how a sailboat works and the function and use of the different maneuvers; but most importantly you will admire breathtaking landscapes, which will be described in details.
If we are lucky, dolphins will follow us during the navigation!
Generally, the morning experience is ideal for swimmers, as it is usually less windy, and the afternoon tour is ideal for sailing in fresher winds.
Cagliari Cooking Class (handmade pasta)
We will do all the step to make the perfect culurgionis: from pasta making to cooking the meal:
- pasta making
(each person have his own bunch of flour) and will be able to make his own pasta dough, having the possibilities to handle the difference between each pasta.
- stuffing preparation and tasting (peel potato, mix ingredients, taste)
All ingredients will be place on the table and everybody will mix and taste and compare to the each others. A competition the will be a fun way to know the real flavor
- closing culurgiones
Once you learn closing colurgionis you will never forget..but to learn it's up to you, your patience, your concentration and you abilities.
- drink wine (drinking and cooking always come togheter) and we always have to taste a good Sardinian white and a good Sardinian red
- lunch/dinner together (with starters & wines)
Once we are set up the table and put starters, we are ready to enjoy our work and have a typical Italian/Sardinian meal
- pasta to take away (if you like and if you don't eat all)
Other things to note
Please advise about intolleance/allergic problem or other request on food.
This experience is great for groups and for teams; a competition or challenge for making the best culurgiones or to guess the ingredients is some of the "tips" i used sometimes to make a great experience for team-building;
Super funny also for kids
Sea kayak and snorkeling wild Cagliari
Take a break from the bustle of the city, there is a fantastic world just around the corner! After a short briefing we first snake around huge boulders while the white limestone cliff gets higher and higher and the water takes every shade of blue. It is here that we realize that there's not a better way to explore this breathtaking corner than easily sitting on a kayak.
On our route we find small beaches cutted into the cliff, bunkers of the second world war, caves and different kind of birds.
Our destination is a sandy little beach, quite difficult to reach by foot because set into the rock, where we can stretch our legs and wear our snorkeling kits, there's another world to explore!
On our way back we change perspective and our attention is captured by details that we had not noticed before, enjoying every single meter. Civilization is waiting for us, the good thing is that now we can have a well deserved drink!
Visit Cagliari with an Ape
sit comfortably, pampered by the crackling of the bee engine, ready to wedge yourself through the streets of the historic center. Yes: the streets are often narrow and some are unknown to most: the bee is the ideal way to learn about and discover a different city, otherwise, perhaps, invisible. Mrs. Marcella and her wonderful gardens in the Villanova district, the lord of the castle's capers , the residences of the old Spanish bourgeoisie and many viewpoints where to take fabulous pictures: just to mention a few things that will accompany us. We will visit the historic center (and the beaches if you like): we are not a driver and a passenger. I would like to share with you the luck of living these places. You will come back from this experience with many photos, a coffee in your stomach, several laughs and with the wonderful feeling of having lived Cagliari not as a consumer but as a traveler. Please consider that: if you want to visit old town but also beach area..book for two hours and then notice me!
Other things to note
If you want to visit both, old town and beach area (with flaminos) please book for two hours and notice it to me plaseee :)
Cagliari Segway Sightseeing Tour
After a couple of minutes of training session to familiarize yourselves with the Segway, the tour of the city begins. It will take you around historical buildings, museums and breathtaking locations.
What differentiates this tour from the others and makes it entertaining and unforgettable at the same time, is the use of segway which allows you to edge your way through the most hidden and fascinating alleys of the old city.
Our guided tour focuses on all the artistic treasures which you will admire in total safety and with minimal effort.
The route includes regular pauses for picture-taking at the highest and most beautiful points of the city.
After a few minutes of driving the Segway, you will be mesmerized by the feeling you are flying over the pavement; the most difficult part of the tour will be to hop off the machine at the end! Get ready to fall in love…
Other things to note
I can reccomand you to bring with you just a little bottle of water during summer time.
Departure point is Via Sant'eulalia 30 in front of NewwaySardinia.

Your Sardinia Surfing Guide
I am a personal surfing guide in Sardinia.
I count 25 years of experience behind it, I know and frequent the island's spots. I am available for those who, fascinated by Sardinia, want to have an intense and immersive surf experience. We will go hunting for waves, by car or camper, making sure we find the best conditions.
The level of experience required intermediate / high.
No surf school.
It is recommended to bring your own equipment (wetsuit, board). If that's not possible, please let me know before you book and we will arrange for the rental.
Important: To live this experience we need the waves and these are obviously not programmable. So, it all depends on the weather / sea conditions. If the conditions are not right, the experience can be canceled or postponed.
Finally, since Sardinia is not just surfing, we can enrich the experience with wine and food routes, archaeological visits, hiking and boat tours.
Write to me for info and clarification, I look forward to seeing you:)
Individual hiking evening on the Devil's Saddle
Cagliari is beautifully situated on the Gulf of Angels. In the south of town there is a small foothills, which is ideal for longer hikes, but also shorter walks (even with children)!
The Devil's Sattel and Cape Sant'Elia are two larger limestone hills, which can come up with panoramic views of Cagliari and the Gulf of Angels, the typical Mediterranean flora, interesting traces from the past, and fantastic bays, and sandy beaches.
Hikers who aim for a longer tour, but also those (e.g. also families) who want to take a shorter or easier walk, I offer individual tours on Mondays or Thursdays.
The number of people on my tours is limited and, depending on the type of excursion, they last between 3 and 4 hours.
After our trip, I look forward to a small donation from you!
You should definitely bring sun protection, enough water and a snack for in between as well as wearing sturdy shoes, comfortable sports or hiking clothes. Swimming gear is also highly recommended.
Looking forward to your inquiries and depending on your wishes, I will create a nice tour for you. It's best to write me what you imagine and want. Details such as meeting point, meeting time, etc. will be discussed together after your first contact with me.
A presto!

Discovering Cagliari by the sea
We will leave with our sail boat from the port of Cagliari to discover the other side of the city, with its coves and the splendid Sella del Diavolo, under which to taste the "Aperitivo dell'Armatrice" offered by the house and take a dip in the crystal clear waters.
During the trip I will tell you a bit of history of the city, of our life on the boat, of the myth of the devil under the saddle and I will let you listen to our unique musical instrument, the launeddas.
And let's not forget that you can have fun maneuvering the boat with the help of our captain : D
Other things to note
We are in a sailboat and therefore the timing and stops will be affected by the wind and marine weather.
In case of bad weather it will be possible to repeat the experience on another day.
Let’s go to the Market!!
We’ll visit Cagliari’s most important market and enjoy the taste of local products, meet our fishmongers, butchers, dairy and fruit & veg merchants, and discover together some truly Sardinian gastronomic traditions. I will let you discover and taste some typical products and almond-based desserts.
The visit will end with a gourmet tasting of ham and cheeses, at one of the Market’s stands.
The visit to the market and tasting will take about 1,5 hours.
Other things to note
Please let me know in advance if you have any allergies or food intolerances.
If you can’t schedule a visit on a preferred day and time, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
I suggest to get to Market by foot or taxi as there aren’t many parking spots in the area.
Aperitif & Sailing in the crystal water of Cagliari
Would you like to escape the crowded beaches and enjoy a relaxed, intimate and exclusive sailing experience around the Gulf of Cagliari?
We will show you how to raise the sails and navigate. And then you can sit back, relax, and experience the magical “sound of silence” as the sails and wind work in perfect harmony.
We will depart from Marina del Sole and make our way towards Poetto, passing by Calamosca where the old Sant’Elia lighthouse stands as a reference point for our most daring fishermen. Next, we will pass through the rugged, white limestone cliffs that characterize Cala Fighera and Grotta dei Colombi before arriving at Sella del Diavolo, the promontory of legends.
During the trip, we will choose a nice place to stop with captain Fabrizio so that you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. Afterwards, enjoy a traditional Sardinian aperitivo framed by relaxing lounge music.
The colorful sunset of Cagliari will provide an immersive backdrop as we continue back to the pier — with the possibility of dolphins greeting us along the way.
In order to keep the experience intimate, personalized, and as relaxing as possible, we limit our group size to 4-5 people.
We are open to private tours, private events, and other special requests and are happy to welcome your four-legged friend as well.
