The bast holiday we have had with Explore or Exodus
Most Inspirational Moment
The boat trip and then walk back along the cliffs of Bay of Orosei and the bue/green Mediteranean
Thoughts on Group Leader
Wonderfully italian, great organisers, created a friendly environment, not good on Geography but that didnt matter
Advice for Potential Travellers
Its a great trip/
Maybe on the day off, walk to Casa Gonome by retracing the Sunday walk, and turning left out of the tunnel, going across the two scarp faces ahead of you and slowly down into the town (for a late lunch), get the bus back.
We saw many historical and cultural aspects of Sardinia that were a complete surprise to us and these were a bonus. The planned walks were stunning in their scope and very ably led by Albert, our tour leader. The weather was variable and greatly impacted on the activities so re scheduling was necessary; having said that, we missed nothing in the end. Being flexible is part of travel.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching the gorge and the cave after much scrambling over huge rocks.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Albert was trustworthy, physically very capable and knowledgeable and patient with a diverse group of walkers.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack for all weathers and be prepared to work with the weather.
Good Varied hiking, but need to be fit for the scrambling involved
Excellent , Confident and friendly leader who coped well with a wide variety of fitness levels
Good food served by the hotel, I personally found the beds very hard!
Shame about the weather, but not much anyone can do about that!
Most Inspirational Moment
Visit to the cave was spectacular
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent friendly leader, felt very safe, and he coped well with a wide variety of fitness levels / and experience of the other hikers
Advice for Potential Travellers
Prepare for all weathers, and assess your level of fitness to cope with the scrambling and uneven rocky hiking, and Some steepish climbs/descents
The walk on the first day was cold and very windy and I was unsure what to expect – but after that we were lucky with perfect sunny weather. Every day was very different with some challenging walks and very interesting archaeology. The countryside was very green with colourful flowers and the sea very blue. The sea was pretty cold in early May but a brief swim was very refreshing in the clear water. The hotel was family run and very friendly with hot showers and homely food. Our leader Albert was great – although it would have been nice to have learned a bit more about Sardinian culture. Our group spanned 30 years in our ages – which made for a really good mix of people. I really enjoyed Sardinia and this holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hard to say. I loved Serra Orrios in its setting of olive trees - and also seeing a bee orchid!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Albert was excellent. It was nice to have some local guides at some sites too. And having wine and local cheeses at the small family vineyard of our minivan drivers was very welcome.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Walking poles were good with some steep ups and downs on coastal paths.
Sardinia proved to be a surprisingly beautiful island with good walks and a fabulous coast. The hotel is very good with excellent food and very friendly staff. We were blessed with great weather which I’m sure influenced my enjoyment. The group was also lovely but that’s my experience almost every time with Exodus. If you happen to have Albert as your guide you will indeed be fortunate – a more caring, competent and sociable leader would be hard to find. Personally I would drop the ‘tourist day’, hence only four stars.
Sardinia offers good, varied walking and activities on a beautiful island. We stayed at a very welcoming family-run hotel, as so often with Exodus. The town of Dorgali is a centre for crafts – traditional and modern jewellery, leatherwork and pottery, mostly – and the locals are friendly and helpful. The walking group included people with many different talents, backgrounds & interests. As usual I had many great conversations on a range of subjects, made some new friends, and learnt much.
Most Inspirational Moment
All the spring flowers
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alexis was great, very helpful - especially when my luggage was delayed, as he lent me his down gilet for extra warmth! He put a lot of effort into making sure that everyone had the best possible holiday, and was always cheerful and flexible
Advice for Potential Travellers
The weather was very variable on our late April trip - expect a range of temperatures and weather, sometimes in the same day
First day of walking was straight up. Not a very interesting route. I suggest you rethink this option.
Sight-seeing day was fun, informative and well paced.
Tiscali was a fabulous day.
An alternative hotel would be a significant improvement. The accommodation was simple, but with 4 hours post walk before dinner, the ‘lounge’ was minimal. Meals were simple and far from expectations- dining in Italy should be a great experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
Great day going to Tiscali
Thoughts on Group Leader
Fabulous! Energetic and personable. Alexi worked hard to ensure participants were happy and doing well
We had a super time on this holiday. Sardinia is a beautiful island, the walking was very enjoyable and the hotel used was perfect for this trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Arriving in Dorgali to find a 2 day festival taking place. It was a joy to behold.
Also, walking to Tiscali high in the mountains and discovering this ancient place.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alexis is an excellent leader. He guided us with great care, fun, expertise and consideration for all.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles as they can be very useful on the stony paths.
Be prepared for all weathers.
