Selvaggio Blu

Selvaggio Blu is a trekking experience for those who want to spend a week immersed in the untouched nature of Sardinia’s eastern coast. Far from modern comforts, nights are spent outdoors or in natural shelters such as caves and old shepherd huts known as pinnettos. Each day is spent walking through an extraordinary landscape of rugged cliffs, Mediterranean scrub, ancient trees, and breathtaking views overlooking the sea.

The route follows the original itinerary designed in the 1980s by Mario Verin and Peppino Cicalò, linking a network of shepherd and charcoal burner paths. In five days of hiking and sleeping à la belle étoile, the trail connects Santa Maria Navarrese to Cala Sisine, staying true to its authentic essence and offering a unique wilderness experience.

Thanks to careful logistical planning, hikers can travel light, carrying only the essentials: water, a few snacks for the journey, and a camera to capture the countless stunning moments that change at every turn of the trail, winding through vegetation, rocks, and the sea.

Travel program

Day 1 Meeting in the morning at 9:00 AM at the small port of Santa Maria Navarrese, then departure for the trek. Following a comfortable trail, we will reach Pedra Longa in about 1 hour and 30 minutes, a spectacular bay dominated by the towering limestone pinnacle of the same name. From here, the path continues towards the sheer wall of Punta Giradili, which we will cross via a stunning ledge before reaching the Supramonte of Baunei and the abandoned Su Idileddu sheepfold, now converted into a partially equipped bivouac. Camp setup, dinner, and overnight stay.

Day 2 Leaving the Ginnirco plateau, the highest point of the entire route, we begin heading towards the sea, walking along the edge of cliffs up to 300 meters high. The descent gradually unfolds, crossing Bacu Tenadili thanks to providential scale fustas, followed by a short but fun climb leading to the small cove of Portu Pedrosus. Here, we set up camp and enjoy dinner under the stars among the trees just inland from the cove. Alternatively, in case of rain, we can continue for another half an hour to reach a comfortable cave, its floor covered with wood from an ancient shipwreck in the nearby Portu Cuau.

Day 3 Leaving the beautiful cove of Portu Cuau, the trail winds through Mediterranean scrub, ascending the southern slopes of Punta Salinas, where ancient stone-and-wood shepherd huts are nestled among the summit rocks. From here, the view of the Aguglia Goloritzè is simply breathtaking. Descending into Codula Goloritzè, we reach its pristine beach at the foot of the towering Punta Caroddi. After a well-deserved swim and rest, we climb back up Codula Goloritzè in just over 30 minutes, where we set up camp, have dinner, and spend the night.

Day 4 After a brief descent towards Cala Goloritzè, the trek continues up the narrow Boladina, one of the key passages of Selvaggio Blu. Crossing steep rocky ridges using spectacular scale fustas, we proceed towards Serra Lattone, where stunning shepherd huts offer incredible panoramic views before the rappel descent leading to Bacu Mudaloru, a dramatic inlet marked by a large cave that echoes the sound of the sea. A peaceful, secluded cove—perfect for dinner and camping.

Day 5 After an hour of hiking to get warmed up, we reach Grotta 5 Stelle. A stunning rappel just below the cave gives access to narrow ledges alternating short climbing passages and further rappels, leading into Bacu Padente. Ascending this deep canyon that plunges into the sea, we arrive at the Ololbissi plateau, where we reach the “secret” passage of Sa Nurca, a hidden canyon concealed behind a massive rock flake. Several spectacular rappels provide entry into the vast forests of Biriala and Oronnoro, followed by short climbs and two more rope descents, leading—after a full day of trekking—to the much-awaited Cala Sisine.

This marks the end of the original Selvaggio Blu, celebrated with a final run and swim in its crystal-clear waters. Soon, a dinghy will arrive, allowing us to trace back along the towering cliffs of the past five days, giving us a true sense of the scale and ruggedness of the coastline. Return to the port of Santa Maria Navarrese, followed by a final dinner featuring traditional Sardinian specialties.

 

NB The program may undergo changes in the price/timetables/location of overnight stays due to the unavailability of services (flights/overnight stays) to be verified when booking.
