A 1-hour microlight flight from the mountains to the sea in southern Sardinia

From the mountains to the sea, without ever touching the ground!

In Siliqua, in southern Sardinia, climb aboard a microlight for a one-hour flight over some of the island’s most breathtaking landscapes. From the mountainous inland to the coast, you’ll see Sardinia’s landscape change right before your eyes.

And you won’t just be admiring the view: thanks to the dual controls, you can also have a go at flying, always under the supervision of an experienced instructor.

An hour in the sky, two ways to experience Sardinia: as a passenger and as a pilot!

What we will do

We’ll meet 10 minutes before the time selected when booking at the Siliqua (CA) airfield, where we’ll meet our instructor, who’ll be ready to take us on an adventure through the skies of southern Sardinia.

We’ll start with a brief introduction to the world of flying and the aircraft we’ll be using: a Savannah high-wing twin-seater microlight , fitted with an enclosed cockpit, navigation instruments and dual controls. The pilot will show us round the aircraft, both inside and out, explaining how the instruments work, the main rules of conduct on board and the safety procedures.

Once the briefing is over, we’ll take our seats next to the instructor, fasten our seatbelts and get ready for take-off! A one-hour scenic flight awaits us , during which we’ll see the landscape change before our very eyes.

We’ll first fly over the inland areas of southern Sardinia, amongst mountains, valleys, castles and small villages, before heading towards the coast, where the green of the Mediterranean vegetation will give way to the blue hues of the sea.

But the scenery won’t be the only highlight! Thanks to the aircraft’s dual controls, we’ll also have the chance to try our hand at piloting the microlight, always under the instructor’s supervision and provided safety conditions allow. We’ll thus be able to discover how the aircraft responds to our movements and experience the thrill of flying first-hand.

After admiring southern Sardinia from the mountains to the sea, we’ll return to Siliqua airfield to land. At the end of the flight, the pilot will head back towards Siliqua airfield, where we’ll land after 60 minutes spent in the sky.
