Saturday: Day 1
We will kick off our adventure with a cocktail party and dinner. You will have the opportunity to meet your guides and your fellow adventurers for the week. The gathering starts at 7:00 PM with dinner following. Enjoy dinner then get a good night's rest; the following 5 days are out in the Sardinian wild!
Sunday: Day 2
After breakfast your hiking guides will pick you up and drive to the first trailhead. Bring the personal possessions that you will need for the next five days/four nights spent in the Sardinian wilderness.(That includes the beaches!) You will need a day pack for your daily needs. The rest of your possessions will be transported by your guides to each final destination.
The first day of hiking is from Cala Friuli to Cala Luna. Enjoy the smells of the Mediterranean vegetation and views of the sea from above. We will have a fantastic picnic lunch on the beach at Cala Luna followed by seaside relaxation time. Dinner will be served at "Ristorante Su Nuraghu" 100 meters from the sea. Distance: 7 km.(4.3 miles) Climb: 120 m.(395 ft.)
Monday: Day 3 
After breakfast we depart for Cala Sisine. This hike is an intriguing retracing of steps taken by those of Sardinia’s past. The day begins with a gradual climb and continues until we are stopped in our tracks by S'Architieddu Lupiru, a massive natural arch facing out to the sea. We continue on the path that was once used by miners until we reach Ovile Saccederanu, a special home used by shepherd's centuries ago. Enjoy the sack lunch as your guide recounts the life of a Sardinian shepherd. The hike is all downhill from here; 550 m.(1800 ft.) in and out of the Mediterranean woods catching magnificent views of the sea from above before reaching the pebble beach of Cala Sisine. Later that evening, dinner awaits at "Ristorante Su Coile", a short walk from the beach. Distance: 12 km.(7.5 miles) Climb: 620 m.(2030 ft.)
Tuesday: Day 4
Today's hike is very enjoyable with few inclines. From Cala Sisine we hike inland following the river bed until we reach the Altopiano di Golgo, Sardinia's grandest plateau, simply decorated with an 18th century church of San Pietro. The church seems to be in the middle of no where, and yet, shepherds and pilgrims from all over the world still come here to make offerings. Later in the afternoon we will explore the Abyss of Golgo. This is the deepest in Sardinia and one of the deepest in Italy, with vertical walls of 300 meters. Not far from the abyss are natural pools and don't be surprised if you are met by wild boars and cows! A traditional Sardinian barbecue will be served by our hosts at "Ristorante Il Golgo." Distance: 13 km.(8 miles) Climb: 150 m.(490 ft.)
Wednesday: Day 5
Today it’s on to another “most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen” called Cala Goloritzè. Cala Goloritzè is one of the most photographed beaches in the Gulf of Orosei and rightfully so. This small bay is made up of striking rock structures surrounded by water with a personality of its own; exhibiting indescribable colors and refreshing temperatures due to the natural springs that bubble up from the sea bed. We follow a rocky road approximately 2 km before reaching the hiking path which is a short and gradual climb before descending all the way down to the secluded, white pebbled beach. Just before arriving, out of nowhere, we are left breathless at the sight of the Guglia; a 475 foot tall rock jetting up into the sky. Sack lunch and lots of relaxation comes before climbing back up for our second night at Golgo's Plateau dining at "Ristorante Il Golgo." Distance: 9 km.(5.6 miles) Climb: 490 m.(1600 ft.)
Thursday: Day 6
After breakfast we will be transported by car to Santa Maria Navaresse; a quaint seaside village where the trail head of our last hike begins. This hike is extremely enjoyable because it traverses with gradual ups and downs across the mountain side with constant views of the crystalline sea below. Pedra Longa meaning long rock and seen from miles away is our halfway point. There we are met by a true shepherd, named Pietro, who takes us to his Ovile for lunch. We return on the same path to meet our ride which awaits us, ready to take us back to the hotel where dinner will be served at your convenience. Distance: 8 km.(5 miles) Climb:less than 100 m.
Friday: Day 7
Your guides will pick you up after breakfast and the morning will be dedicated to the ancient archeology of Sardinia. You will have the opportunity to visit a nuraghe (1500 BC), a tomba di giganti (1800 BC) and domus de janas (3500 BC). Professional guides will walk you through the ancient and mystical history of the island. Afterwards, to catch a glimpse of present day activity, lunch will be served at "Da Angelo," the hot spot for locals. The afternoon is free and dinner is served at the hotel.
Saturday: Day 8
Savor your last cappuccino and pastry for this time around as today is departure. Arrangements will be made ahead of time for your escorted ride to the airport.
