What to see in Sardinia: excursions in September by land and sea

September is the best time of year to discover Gallura while you are here on holiday. The climate is delightful, there is a relaxing sense of peace and quiet which is the perfect condition for enjoying the sea but also for going on excursions in Sardinia to discover the inland areas.

Trekking in Sardinia

For those who love trekking, Gallura is full of fascinating itineraries. Near the Resort Valle dell’Erica Thalasso & Spa is the small peninsula of Capo Testa and the Punta Cuntessa park network of paths that follow the Rena di Levante and Ponente beaches toward the wonderful Valle della Luna or Cala Grande (as the locals call it). After a not too strenuous walk from the Park Hotel Cala di Lepre and Hotel Capo d’Orso at Palau in a few minutes you can reach the famous Roccia dell’Orso or Bear’s Rock which offers visitors a breathtaking view of the coast and the La Maddalena Archipelago. From the Hotel Torreruja at Isola Rossa and the nearby 5 star Hotel Marinedda, enthusiasts should not miss out on climbing the hills at Aggius at sunset. This trip is not very difficult and is also suitable for children and young people and it leads to the top of Monti Fraili where the view at sunset is something unique.

Boat trips in the North of Sardinia

Boat trips in the North of Sardinia in September are a fantastic experience. The number of tourist boats has diminished and all the coves and bays of the Costa Smeralda and the La Maddalena Archipelago have returned to their original wild and fascinating state. Delphina Hotels organize excursions by boat around both the North East and the North West coasts. Boat trips leave the private Cala Capra Marina at the Hotel Capo d’Orso from Palau to Bonifacio, Lavezzi and Isola Piana, and from the marina at Isola Rossa the Delphina fleet offers boat tours to the Corsican Archipelago and nearby bays and beaches. The tour of the islands with the vintage sailing ship Pulcinella is also exciting since spending a day exploring the Northern Sardinia sea in a prestigious old ship is a unique experience where it is impossible not to stop and snorkel in the natural pools between Budelli and Santa Maria or the little island of Mortorio.
