Asinara National Park
One of Sardinia’s true hidden gems is Asinara Island, a pristine haven largely untouched by mass tourism. Thanks to strict preservation measures implemented by the local government, the island has maintained its wild and unspoiled charm. Access is carefully regulated, and private vehicles are not permitted, ensuring the ecosystem remains intact.
To visit Asinara, you can take the public ferry (you can check the tickets rates and schedule here) and book a guided tour to explore the island by car, or opt for a boat excursion. I highly recommend the latter, as it allows you to fully appreciate the stunning crystal-clear waters and stop at remote beaches far from the crowds. The sea around Asinara is breathtaking, and a boat trip offers the flexibility to immerse yourself in its tranquility. I booked my day trip with Amaremare Sardegna, and it was an unforgettable experience. You can book a tour here.
Northern Sardinia is a paradise for adventure seekers, blending rugged landscapes, turquoise waters, and rich culture. From windsurfing in Porto Pollo to hiking Capo Testa, exploring Valle della Luna, and diving into the Maddalena Archipelago, every moment is unforgettable. Pack your gear, embrace the wild, and let the adventure begin!
