Selvaggio Blu: trekking in wild Sardinia

A trek dedicated to those who want to spend five days immersed in the pristine nature of the Sardinian east coast: far from comforts, we eat and sleep outdoors or in natural shelters like caves and ancient shepherd huts with their characteristic "pinetto" shape. Every day is spent walking through incredible nature made of rock, Mediterranean scrub, ancient trees, and breathtaking views overlooking the sea...

The Selvaggio Blu trail we offer follows the original itinerary, conceived and discovered in the 1980s by Mario Verin and Peppino Cicalò by linking a long series of paths and passages used by shepherds and charcoal burners: a long journey that, in five days of walking and sleeping under the stars, connects Santa Maria Navarrese to Cala Sisine. We carefully follow the original route—including the most impressive and evocative passages—to maintain the authentic character of the trail and ensure the feeling of a true wilderness experience.
Thanks to careful logistics, we can travel light, carrying only water, some food for the day, and the essential camera: the scenes to capture are endless, changing at every turn of the path as it winds through the scrub, the rocks, and the sea.

Travel program

Day 1: Meeting in the morning at 9:00 AM at the small port of Santa Maria Navarrese and departure for the trek. Following a comfortable trail, we 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 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 head towards the sea, walking along the edge of cliffs up to 300 meters high. The descent gradually unfolds, crossing Bacu Tenadili (gorge) thanks to providential "scale fustas" (juniper ladders), followed by a fun climb leading to the small, secluded beach of Portu Pedrosus. Bivouac and dinner under the stars among the trees just inland from the cove. Alternatively (especially useful in case of rain), we can continue for another half hour to reach a comfortable cave with a floor covered in 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 spectacular ancient stone-and-wood sheepfolds are nestled among the summit rocks. From here, the view of the nearby Aguglia Goloritzè below is truly breathtaking! Descending into Codula Goloritzè via a comfortable path, we reach the stunning beach at the foot of the Aguglia. After a well-deserved swim and rest at the foot of the impressive Punta Caroddi, we climb back up to the top of the codula in just over half an hour, where we have dinner and spend the night camping.

Day 4: After a short descent back toward Cala Goloritzè, we climb the narrow Boladina, one of the key passages of the Selvaggio Blu. Once past the steep rocky outcrops via some spectacular juniper ladders, we pick up the trail toward Serra Lattone. Along this ridge, the beautiful sheepfolds of the same name offer unique, spectacular views until the abseil that leads to Bacu Mudaloru, characterized by a large cave where the sound of the sea echoes. A peaceful and pleasant cove, it's the perfect spot for dinner and a bivouac.

Day 5: An hour's walk to "warm up the engines" and we reach the 5-Star Cave (Grotta 5 Stelle). A beautiful abseil just below the cave gives access to some exposed ledges which, alternating between short climbing sections and brief rappels, lead to Bacu Padente. Climbing back up this narrow gorge that plunges into the sea, we reach the Ololbissi plateau, from which we access the "secret" passage of Sa Nurca (The Den), a narrow canyon hidden behind an enormous rock flake. Some spectacular abseils lead to the great forests of Biriala and Oronnoro, followed by more short climbs and two more rappels. Finally, after a great day of trekking, the long-awaited Cala Sisine appears!

The original Selvaggio Blu ends here, with a final run and swim in the beautiful sea! Soon the dinghy will arrive and, cruising along the cliffs we traversed over the previous days, we'll get a better sense of the route taken, its length, and the ruggedness of these sheer cliffs. Return to the port of Santa Maria Navarrese and a final dinner featuring typical local products.

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. On site, in less than optimal weather and safety conditions, the guide will confirm the itineraries included in the program day by day.
