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 :)

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!
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.
Autentic sailing tour aboard s/y Merak to the Devil's saddle
This experience is not the usual, commercial tour where you will feel like a dumb passenger on a boat powered by an engine!!! With us, you will experience a real hands-on sailing tour on a fast cruiser-racer sailboat, a Beneteau First 33.7. This boat has a vast sail wardrobe which allows us to reach the most beautiful coves of the area under sail, either in a light breeze or in more windy conditions: we guarantee the engine will be used only in absence of wind; and, best of all, Paolo, the experienced skipper, will show you how to steer and trim the sails. When we meet, Paolo will explain some basic safety rules, and then we will start the tour. The suggested destination is the "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, during the summer, will swim with you to discover the secret “Purple Cave”. While sailing, you will admire breathtaking landscapes and cliffs, which will be described in details. If we are lucky, dolphins will follow us during the navigation! Generally, the morning experience is gifted with light winds, making it ideal for a stopover in calm waters (which is ideal for swimmers), whereas the afternoon tour is ideal for sailing in stronger winds. In case of wavy seas, anchoring and swimming might be not possible due to safety reasons.

Cagliari in Barca a vela
Salpa con me, scopriremo la costa di una delle città più belle del Mediterraneo. Veleggeremo lasciandoci alle spalle il castello di San Remy e i suoi colori, ci fermeremo sotto le falesie calcaree della Sella del Diavolo fluttuando su un mare verde smeraldo. Scopriremo la leggenda nascosta dietro questo promontorio sul mare. Dopo un aperitivo rientreremo ammirando la città dal mare. Sono nato nella città di Cagliari e fin da bambino ho amato il mare. Voglio portarti a scoprire qualcosa di veramente bello, offerto dalla natura che ci circonda, ponendo una particolare attenzione sui colori, sui profumi e sapori della nostra terra. Partiremo la mattina alle 9:00 e ammireremo dal mare la città di Cagliari, e con un pò di fortuna vedremo i delfini che abitano all'interno del porto. Veleggeremo lungo l'antico borgo di Sant'Elia, famoso per i suoi pescatori, per poi arrivare alle varie spiagge. Verso le 10 ci fermeremo dietro la Sella de Diavolo, per ammirare la sua maestosità, il suo mare cristallino le sue grotte e magari farci un bel bagno. Verso le 12:00 partiremo per rientrare al porto di Cagliari.

Loop-walk on the Devil's Saddle
In Cagliari you can go hiking wonderfully. The southern edge of town is a small promontory, the so-called devil's saddle. Here we will do a nice tour. In your backpack, there should be sun protection, a bottle of water and a snack in between. Firm shoes, comfy sports or hiking clothes, and a hat are also highly recommended. Our meeting point is the bar "L'Aurora", at the beginning of the small sports port "Marina Piccola" which can be reached by car, bus or bike. This is where the circular hike ends. The circular path leads us to a old, small fortress and to the lighthouse at "Capo di Sant'Elia". We climb down to a little cover and then walk over to the "Teufelssattel". We enjoy wonderful views of the turquoise blue sea and take a break in a beautiful swimming bay. We also go up to the summit cross, from where we can admire the beach Poetto and Cagliari. The approx. 9 km long excursion takes about 3.5 hours and I am happy to be able to tell a little about my adopted home.
