Southern Sardinia Day Tour
Jeep Tour from Cagliari to Chia: Beaches, Mountains and Pink Flamingos
An off-road adventure through Mediterranean wilderness to two of Sardinia's most beautiful beaches
This full-day Jeep tour from Cagliari to Chia takes you deep into the rugged coastal landscapes of southern Sardinia, combining scenic mountain driving with long stretches of free time on two spectacular beaches. With comfortable 4x4 vehicles and small group sizes, the experience balances adventure and relaxation in equal measure.
The Chia area is one of Sardinia's most celebrated natural zones, where granite peaks meet lagoons and turquoise sea. Along the route, you may spot pink flamingos feeding in the coastal wetlands, a sight that surprises many visitors and remains one of the most memorable moments of the day.
The itinerary covers a panoramic off-road stretch through Mediterranean maquis before reaching the coast, where you will have around four hours to enjoy the beaches of Su Giudeu and Cala Cipolla. Both beaches offer clear, calm waters well suited for swimming and snorkelling.
