Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in the heart of eastern Sardinia! Our 'From Baunei: Buggy Tour to Punta Salinas' is the ultimate way to explore the rugged beauty of the Supramonte. This 50km loop tour takes you off the beaten path, steering through wild dirt roads that reveal the raw, untamed landscape of the Ogliastra region.
Your journey begins in the charming village of Baunei. Aboard our high-performance buggies, you will follow a professional guide through ancient sheepfolds ('coiles') like Coile Us Piggius and Coile Piras. These stops offer a deep dive into the local pastoral culture, providing a unique contrast between mountain tradition and the spectacular Mediterranean coastline.
As we traverse the terrain toward Punta Ginnirco, prepare your camera for strategic panoramic stops. You will enjoy unparalleled vistas where the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Orosei meet the limestone cliffs. The highlight of the trip is undoubtedly the final leg: a short, invigorating trek (2km round trip with a 50m elevation gain) that leads you to the summit of Punta Salinas. Often described as the most coveted vantage point in all of Ogliastra, the view from this natural terrace is guaranteed to be the highlight of your Sardinian holiday.
This tour is a perfect blend of fun, culture, and wilderness. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a thrill-seeker, or a nature lover, this buggy experience offers an exclusive perspective of Sardinia that very few get to see. The total duration of the excursion is approximately 30 minutes of pure excitement, though the memories created at the summit will last a lifetime.
Included in your experience: A professional local guide, a high-quality buggy vehicle, and an unforgettable journey through the Supramonte mountains. Please note that the tour is designed for those who love adventure and a bit of light hiking. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your sense of wonder!
Wear sturdy hiking shoes as the final trek to the viewpoint involves uneven, rocky terrain.
Bring a camera or smartphone with plenty of storage; the panoramic views of the Gulf of Orosei are world-class.
