Ride in a private air-conditioned minivan along the legendary Emerald Coast, stopping at the jet-set harbour of Porto Cervo, secret viewpoints over turquoise bays, and secluded beaches that only locals know. Glamour, wilderness, and Sardinian light — all in one day.
What to expect
The day opens with the panoramic drive along the SS125, the granite coastline unfolding in a theatre of colour — the sea shifts from chartreuse to cobalt as the road climbs and dips. Porto Cervo's Piazzetta del Cervo is a spectacle of understated superyacht wealth, boutique windows, and perfectly brewed espresso. From there, your guide takes you off-road to Capriccioli or Liscia Ruja beach — powder sand, gin-clear water, zero development. Lunch is at a family-run agriturisimo or harbourside restaurant, chosen by your guide, not a guidebook.
Good to know
Departs from Olbia cruise port — approx. 30 min to the heart of Costa Smeralda. Book the private option for complete flexibility and the best beach-to-harbour ratio. Confirm all-aboard time with your guide; the Olbia port is straightforward to return to with no traffic concerns outside August.
