The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Sail the Calasetta straits where San Pietro's centuries-old tuna trap still stands, guided by a skipper whose family fished it. Living heritage, not a museum plaque.
Wander the pastel carrugi with a Carlofortino guide who explains why this island speaks a Genoese dialect and how Barbary pirate raids shaped its layout.
Skip the crowded beach path and reach San Pietro's wildest cove by inflatable boat, watching for peregrine falcons and Eleonora's falcons nesting on the cliffs.
Beat the day-trippers to Sardinia's westernmost lighthouse with a private driver-guide, timed for the cliffside light show over open sea toward nowhere but Africa.
Snorkel a protected cove with a trained naturalist who names every fish and explains the volcanic rock formations underwater, not just a mask-and-fins rental.
See the island's Genoese-Tabarkin story told properly in a quiet historic house, without a crowd — the museum every guidebook mentions but almost no one actually visits.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
