The variety of terrains will give you the perfect opportunity to hone your riding skills on all types of surfaces from rocky trails to sandy tracks along the seafront. We’ll stay at some authentic farmhouses, called Agriturismi, where you’ll meet warm-hearted, spontaneous, genuine locals. With contrasting landscapes at every turn, often between turquoise sea and rugged cliffs, you’ll want to savour every moment.

Welcome to Sardinia! You’re met at the airport and transferred to a hotel in the countryside surrounding Tempio Pausania in the wonderful Mount Limbara region.
After enjoying breakfast in the company of our hosts, you get better acquainted with our Royal Enfield Himalayans. On smooth World Rally Championship tracks and stretches through charming hinterland villages that have a yesteryear feel about them, you cross the Gallura region and reach the coast.
Today is the day we really get to experience Sardinia’s diverse landscapes. You leave the shimmering Mediterranean Sea and Gulf of Orosei behind you as we gradually push deeper into the heart of the Gennargentu National Park with its towering cliffs and winding ravines. This wild landscape is reminiscent of Corsica’s hinterland with its stark contrasts.
You leave Nurallao on smooth tracks between meadows and soon reach Giara di Gesturi plateau, known for its nature reserve. After admiring the wild horses, you head off to discover the Monte Arci national forest tracks and reach Sardinia’s west coast and the Sinis Peninsula.
Today’s plan: sun, sea and bikes! You ride between white sand dunes and turquoise sea, making the most of the sandy track, which runs along the coast and up towards the north of Sardinia.
North Sardinia will prove to be quite a contrast to the past few days as it has an air of Saint Tropez glamour with its private beaches and luxury villas. You take your last tracks and trails across Mount Limbara and reach Tempio Pausania in the afternoon, making the most of your last evening of Sardinian hospitality.
After saying farewell to our hosts, you head to the airport late in the morning for your return flights. This is where our services end.
