General Information

Open your heart and mind to the spirit of the Mediterranean.

Island Spirit Adventures will take care of the rest. 

Depending upon your style of travel, a one week adventure with ISA could encompass four days/ three nights hiking and camping through the mountainous limestone back country of Sardinia with three nights relaxing in beachside deluxe hotel OR sailing along the coast's most beautiful and secluded beaches.  Each day we indulge in another "best meal I ever had!" eating plenty of Pecorino cheese and drinking red wine, which Sardinians consider to be one of the reasons why they have been blessed with extraordinary longevity.

Hiking in Sardinia 

  • Hikes lead to traditional shepherds camps called Ovile and exquisite Mediterranean beaches. 
  • Hikes are rigorous, yet you travel at your own pace. Hiking time varies from 3 to 6 hours per day.   
  • Desire more hiking? There's plenty of terrain to be explored. Desire less? The beach is all yours.

Let's Talk Food!!

Island Spirit Adventures highly values the freshest regional Sardinian dishes! All hiking days include a European breakfast with fresh fruit; a healthy sack lunch; and a fresh fish and seafood dinner or a hearty Sardinian barbeque.

Depending upon the chef, a seafood dinner could be anywhere from fresh clams and mussels, shrimp, octopus, the fresh catch of the day or Sardinia's signature seafood, botarga; grated fish eggs tossed in a bed of linguine and olive oil.

 A Sardinian barbecue consists of pig, lamb and goat slow cooked on a spit for 8 hours. The meal is accompanied by fresh goat cheese, olives, garden vegetables, seasonal fruit and bread.

While sailing, meals are prepared to coincide with activities and your desires always with the freshest local ingredients available.
