In many places by the sea there are dive centers where you can easily rent equipment or book a diving excursion with guide in the north or northwest of Sardinia. Are you ready for an underwater adventure?

The crystal clear waters of Sardinia are of course also perfect for snorkeling . Snorkeling in Sardinia is therefore possible in many places.

For those who prefer to dive into the water accompanied by a guide, Sardinia4all organizes a number of nice snorkeling excursions.

The sea, the major rivers and the reservoirs offer numerous opportunities for water sports, especially for lovers of canoeing and kayaking. The best are the boat trips on rivers in the spring, when the water is still high. The reservoirs can be sailed all year round, because the water level is constant. Popular reservoirs are Lake Omodeo in the province of Oristano, Lago di Gusana in the Barbagia and Lago del Coghinas in Gallura. Also sea kayaking is also popular in Sardinia - and very spectacular for its accessible caves!

The steep cliffs of the Supramonte are ideal for climbers. Also on the coast the cliffs rise almost vertically from the sea, which makes climbing a great experience! The Supramonte offers enough challenge for experienced climbers with routes of level 8a and 8b. However, there are plenty of routes that are also great for beginners. The most famous base for climbing tours is Cala Gonone, but in Alghero you can also climbing rocks or challenge the peaks of Tavolara !

Mountain biking in Sardinia is fantastic, but often requires a good level of fitness. It is wise to look for the most beautiful places with a guide, but if you want to set off independently, take a GPS with you in addition to a good map and compass. You can easily get lost in the rugged nature, off the beaten track. If you prefer to participate in a "normal" bike tour, take a look at the organized bike tours from Cagliari and Alghero.

Sardinia is also the ultimate destination for a horse riding holiday. You can do both day and multi-day tours here. A ride on an island-bred Anglo-Arab through the mountains or along the coast is an unforgettable experience.

In collaboration with Mandra Edera, we are also happy to take care of your horse riding holiday on the island!
