      Private Jeep Tour from Costa Rei: Tulinu Nature Reserve with Lunch

      Discover wild mountains, shepherd history, and freshwater pools aboard a 4x4 in authentic Sardinia.

      This private jeep tour in the Tulinu Nature Reserve takes you deep into one of south-eastern Sardinia's most unspoilt landscapes, covering roughly 30 kilometres of rugged off-road trails through mountains, forests, and hidden paths.

      The route winds through the Parco dei Sette Fratelli, passing sites that tell the story of the land's layered past. You will encounter the eccentric Hippie House, ancient pinnetti shelters built by shepherds, and springs originally carved out by prisoners from the historic Castiadas penal colony.

      At various points along the trail, natural freshwater pools invite you to pause and cool off in calm, clear water. The excursion closes with an aperitif featuring a generous platter of local cold cuts and cheeses, a fitting introduction to the flavours of the region.
