Trekking to the Summit of Tavolara Island

trending_upDifficulty: Medium

Tavolara Island is a majestic limestone mountain rising 565 metres above the sea. πŸ”οΈ A gem of Gallura, set in one of the most spectacular stretches of the Mediterranean, it looks like a mountain fallen from the sky β€” suspended between the vivid blue of the sea and white clouds. After reaching Tavolara by rubber dinghy, a 90-minute hike leads to the 'Pratone': an incredible natural terrace with a breathtaking view over the Gulf of Olbia. 🌊 The Pratone is reached via an equipped trail called Via Ferrata. Helmet, harness and kit are all included in the price. The difficulty level is suitable for anyone who is fit and comfortable with heights. Those who prefer not to tackle the Via Ferrata can wait for the group at the Pratone. After the Via Ferrata section, you reach Punta Cannone β€” the summit of Tavolara Island 🌟 β€” with a stunning panoramic view stretching from Capo Coda Cavallo to the Gulf of Olbia, all the way to Corsica and the Strait of Bonifacio. At the summit we take a 30-minute break, perfect for a packed lunch. After the break, we begin the descent. At the end of the day, you'll have the chance to enjoy the sea and take a swim on the beautiful beach of Tavolara. πŸ–οΈ βœ… Included: rubber dinghy transfer, guide, helmet, Via Ferrata kit and harness. πŸŽ’ What to bring: at least 2 litres of water per person, packed lunch, fruit, snacks, backpack and trekking boots with rigid soles. You may also bring a swimsuit and beach towel (stored at the base of the island). πŸ“ Meeting point: Porto di Cala Finanza. Meeting time varies from 6:30 to 8:00 AM depending on daily temperatures. πŸ‘€ Minimum age: 12 years. Tour confirmed with a minimum of 4 participants.

    Did the best hike of my life at tavolara with Thinking Sardinia with Stefano. He's a wonderful guide and fun to be with. One of the best things I've ever done. Highly recommended if youre into fun and adventure but not afraid of heights, specially if you go up the via Ferrata which is not for the non fit or light hearted The price was very reasonable and included the boat ride and the 6 hour hike and then we got to spend about 1.5 hr at the beautiful underneath.

    This year I decided to climb Tavolara...with my son. It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. An extraordinary, unforgettable adventure...made even more incredible by our fantastic guide Valter, who helped, supported, and put up with us every step of the way. The care shown towards each of us was simply unique. The attention to safety...was impeccable. I truly recommend this experience to everyone, even if it's not exactly easy. πŸ˜… With a little commitment, perseverance, determination, and a guide like Valter, who encourages and accompanies you every step of the way, it's accessible to everyone. Thanks again...see you next year
