Description

Chia Tour: Choose this option for one hour of offroad driving plus two beach stops. The tour leaves town passing pink flamingos in their natural habitat. The offroad segment covers easy panoramic tracks accessible by 4x4 vehicles, with several photo stops.

The first beach stop is Tuerredda, where you can snorkel, hike, or relax for two hours. Entrance to the beach is included, so no need to book separately. Then you take a scenic coastal drive bordered by Mediterranean maquis vegetation and crystal-clear waters.

The second beach stop includes Su Giudeu and Cala Cipolla. Activities available are snorkeling, hiking, or relaxing. Beach cafes provide shaded areas, and chairs and umbrellas are available for rent, although availability is not guaranteed on all days.

Villasimius Tour: This option offers less offroad driving but includes panoramic coastal routes and two beaches. After leaving town and passing flamingo habitats, you visit two scenic stops: one panoramic road by the sea and a mountain offroad section surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and 16th-century watch towers.

Before reaching the beaches, there is a short stop for food and drinks (not included). The first beach stop is Porto Giunco, featuring white sand and clear water. Guests may hike to the nearby tower overlooking the bay in 20 minutes. After another scenic photo stop, the second beach stop is Cala Sinzias, where you can swim or enjoy drinks and snacks at the Tamatete beach club.
