5 Experiences to do as a couple in Sardinia
Sardinia is perfect for a couple’s holiday, let us advise you!
1. BOAT TOUR IN THE MADDALENA ARCHIPELAGO
A day by boat in the Maddalena Archipelago is one of the most beautiful experiences to share as a couple. Tours generally allow several stops for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on board.
The La Maddalena Archipelago is a spectacle, it feels like being in the Caribbean (or even better!), absolutely not to be missed.

2. BOAT TRIP TO THE SPLENDID CALA GOLORITZÈ
For a couple who loves nature, reaching Cala Goloritzè is an unforgettable experience. The cove, on the eastern coast of Sardinia, is famous for its crystal-clear waters, rocky walls and the characteristic limestone pinnacle.
A boat excursion allows you to discover this spectacular stretch of the Gulf of Orosei and to combine the visit with other coves and swimming stops. It is a particularly interesting choice for those who want to alternate relaxation and discovery during a romantic holiday in Sardinia.

3. GOLFO ARANCI: BOAT TOUR WITH SNORKELING AND DOLPHIN WATCHING
If you are looking for a more dynamic experience, set off from Golfo Aranci for a boat excursion in the waters of the north-eastern coast of Sardinia.
Depending on the tour chosen, the day can include stops for snorkeling and the chance to spot dolphins in their natural environment. It is the kind of experience that works particularly well as a couple because it combines sea, nature and a touch of adventure.

4. WINE TOUR IN SOUTHERN SARDINIA
Not all experiences to do as a couple necessarily have to take place on the beach. A food and wine tour allows you to discover another side of Sardinia through its wines and local products.
On this tour in the south of the island, you can visit wineries, learn about the production of Sardinian wines and accompany the tasting with typical products. It is an excellent alternative for a slower day, especially if during the trip you want to include something different from the classic sea excursions.

5. HANDMADE FRESH PASTA COOKING CLASS IN CAGLIARI
Why limit yourself to eating Sardinian cuisine when you can try preparing it together? A cooking class in Cagliari allows you to get in touch with some of the island’s gastronomic traditions by learning how to prepare handmade fresh pasta.
It is an informal and fun experience to share as a couple and, above all, it leaves you with something to take home beyond the photographs. After the lesson comes, of course, the most important part: tasting what you have prepared 😋
