About this experience

It only takes half a day off-road to allow us to savor the wonderful contrasts of the historical sub-region of Baronia, in the surroundings of Orosei and Onifai, in central-eastern Sardinia.

A unique experience of contemplation of its severe, harsh nature, made of mountains rich in pine forests, beaches and transparent sea, but also useful for knowing something more about the history of Sardinian pre-nuragic culture.

With full respect for the environment and local culture, live an adventure with a high rate of reliability and safety, suitable for the whole family.

Detailed itinerary

The first stop of the 4x4 tour, in fact, is in Oddoene to visit a "Domus de Janas" (house of the fairies), one of the many tombs carved into the rock dating back to the Neolithic period in Sardinia (around 4500 years BC). We will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the magical and indecipherable realities created by medieval popular fantasy. Amidst games, laughter, we will learn the profound cultural significance attributed to them by archaeologists and the popular beliefs of the local inhabitants.

We will then head towards the sea to the beach of the Saline di Capo Comino. The best preserved white sand dunes of the east coast, bathed by a crystalline sea protected by centuries-old junipers and home to some famous films. At this point we will have deserved a refreshing bath in its emerald waters before returning to Orosei.
