From Olbia you can access <strong>numerous itineraries<\/strong> to suit every taste: from <strong>boat and dinghy trips<\/strong> to <strong>trekking trails<\/strong>. To easily reach the starting points and the most popular destinations for guided tours, it is essential to have your own means of transport. If you can\u2019t bring your own car, you can <strong>rent one directly at your holiday destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Excursions are the best way to discover a region.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excursion_in_the_Tavolara_Marine_Protected_Area\"><\/span>Excursion in the Tavolara Marine Protected Area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Tavolara Marine Protected Area<\/strong> stretches from Capo Ceraso to Cala Finocchio and includes the islands of Tavolara, Molara and Molarotto. It is a vast protected area where you can admire an exceptionally well-preserved marine and island environment. Without a doubt, it is one of the most beautiful and exclusive <strong>nature parks<\/strong> on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can enjoy <strong>dinghy excursions<\/strong> and <strong>snorkelling activities<\/strong>. A recent initiative called \u201cPulita per Natura\u201d (\u201cClean by Nature\u201d) has also been launched, aimed at monitoring washed-up litter and raising awareness among participants. It\u2019s a project that allows you to discover this wonderful corner of paradise while actively helping to protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dinghy excursion is the ideal choice to <strong>discover the rocky coves<\/strong> of Punta Ald\u00eca, <strong>Cala Brandinchi<\/strong>, and the beaches of Salina Bamba and Salinedda. There are plenty of packages and options for every preference, so you\u2019ll be spoiled for choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Horse-riding_excursions_in_Sardinia\"><\/span>Horse-riding excursions in Sardinia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Horse-riding excursions<\/strong> offer a unique added value that is hard to give up. We move slightly away from Olbia to reach <strong>Barbagia<\/strong>, <strong>Orgosolo<\/strong> and <strong>Nuoro<\/strong>. Once you arrive in this timeless area, you can enjoy a <strong>traditional lunch offered by local shepherds<\/strong>, during which they will tell you more about Sardinian culture and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of <strong>excursion is very popular in Sardinia<\/strong>. It won\u2019t be difficult to find agencies that organise them, both inland and along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trekking_trails_in_North_Sardinia\"><\/span>Trekking trails in North Sardinia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, a <strong>new network of trails<\/strong> has been created by Aspo, allowing visitors to explore the area through scenic routes and unique landscapes. The route covers more than <strong>60 kilometres<\/strong>, stretching from <strong>Capo Ceraso<\/strong> to <strong>San Vittore<\/strong>, embracing the entire municipality of Olbia. These paths offer extraordinary views and natural beauty just a short distance from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the <strong>most recommended trails<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cabu Abbas, Punta Zapparottu, Capo Ceraso, Stazzu Manzoni<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sa Testa, Nuraghe Riu Mulinu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punta Sa Turritta, San Vittore<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poltu Casu, Monte Alvu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Li Pinnitteddi, Beddoro, Castello di Sa Paulazza, Punta Ruia, Cala de Gregale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punta su Quadreddu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve talked about some of these locations in a recent article on our blog about what to see in and around Olbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boat_excursions_from_Olbia\"><\/span>Boat excursions from Olbia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>boat excursions departing from Olbia<\/strong> are all about diving into crystal-clear waters and discovering unspoilt seabeds. In most cases, these trips also allow you to <strong>visit beaches that are often inaccessible<\/strong>, less crowded and perfect for relaxing for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a fan of <strong>sailing<\/strong>, you can take advantage of <strong>day trips to the Tavolara Marine Reserve<\/strong> and <strong>Molara<\/strong>, swim in natural pools, explore the impressive limestone cliffs of Tavolara and reach the famous Spiaggia del Re (King\u2019s Beach).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you already chosen the routes that appeal to you the most and can\u2019t wait to <strong>arrive in Sardinia<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait any longer: <strong>book your rental car in Olbia now<\/strong> and get ready to live a dream experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your holiday in Sardinia is about to begin and you\u2019re curious to discover the best excursions to take in Olbia?
