Full description
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Sant'Antioco Lagoon with an evocative horseback ride along the unspoilt coastline of Sardinia.
You will cross anaturalistic oasis of almost 700 hectares until you reach the sea. Riding your horse, you will experience the thrill of strolling through the water, among the spray and the sea breeze.
Every moment of this approximately three-hour experience will leave you breathless and allow you to create a special bond with a sensitive, empathetic and incredibly intelligent animal.
What we will do
The appointment is in San Giovanni Suergiu, in the heart of South Sardinia.
We will be welcomed at the riding centre by a guide, who will hand us the equipment and take us to get to know our horse. After a short briefing on the basic commands and a few trial rides in the riding hall to gain confidence, we will be ready to set off.
The approximately 10 km loop route will first take us to the spectacular Sant'Antioco Lagoon, where we will experience riding in the water, among the spray and sea breeze. Then we will enter a cane thicket through a wetland of the oasis, and if time permits, we will also ford a small river.
The walk will continue amidst the intense scents of a eucalyptus forest until we reach ancient Campidanese villages, authentic hidden gems that will help us discover a Sardinia far from the beaten track.
Finally, we will return to our starting point. The activity will last a total of 3 hours and 15 minutes, including one hour of preparation and 2 hours and 15 minutes of walking.
