What you'll do

Climbing and sailing: a chance to experience rock and water at the same time. What better place for this than Sardinia? In addition to emerald seas and pristine beaches, this island boasts towering cliffs and unique rock formations just waiting to be climbed! Limestone, granite or basalt, steep rooves or techy slabs - there's something for all styles of climber in Sardinia.


Itinerary

The adventure starts in Olbia, where you will check-in in the afternoon at 4PM. After a quick shopping trip to gather supplies, we will set sail. We recommend to arrive 1-2 hours before the check-in time. We'll stop at Tavolara or a port nearby based on weather conditions. The sailing will give us some spectacular views of Gallura's east side.
Today we will climb in a cave, the famous Grottoni di Biddiriscottai. Here we can choose from a variety of routes and we'll be able to assess the experience of the group.
We'll start the day by sailing to Cala Fuili, where you can climb on a cliff right over the sea. The rock here is well-bolted abrasive limestone, offering beautiful vertical routes full of pockets for all levels.
Day 4 is dedicated entirely to climbing! We'll be visiting Cala Luna, a stunning cove protected by 300m high cliffs - which we'll be climbing.
Another day, another iconic Sardinian crag! Pedra Longa is a spire that rises up 130m from the sea, offering amazing multi-pitch routes and sport climbing in nearby crags.
A 140m cliff overlooking Cala Goloritzé, Aguglia Goloritzé offers unparalleled climbing on technical limestone slabs with awesome views. Choose from 11 routes, 5c to 7b+.
Today we will sail around the beautiful island of Tavolara. We will sail north to reach the Maddalena archipelago and swim in some of the most turquoise waters of Sardinia. Then, finally, for the last time, destination Olbia, arriving around 6pm.
Time to say goodbye and go back home! Check-out will be in Olbia Port at 8 AM.

Our base camp (and means of transport) will be a 46-foot Bavaria sailboat. The boat boasts 4 double cabins and 2 beds in the dinet, 3 bathrooms, 1 shower cabin, a kitchen with dining room and an extensive deck. On the boat you can find linen, blanckets and pillowcase. The boat is equipped with cigar lighter sockets, so we recommend bringing USB adapters. There is also an inverter to 220v, that can be used to charge other devices.
