The jeep kicks up red dust as it climbs from Arbatax toward the plateau; the Mediterranean light flattens the landscape, and cliffs appear like a sudden wall above the sea. Within an hour the asphalt gives way to a rutted track and the island’s raw geology takes over — broad, open limestone interrupted by wind-sculpted rock and the yawning mouth of Su Sterru.

The jeep kicks up red dust as it climbs from Arbatax toward the plateau; the Mediterranean light flattens the landscape, and cliffs appear like a sudden wall above the sea. Within an hour the asphalt gives way to a rutted track and the island’s raw geology takes over — broad, open limestone interrupted by wind-sculpted rock and the yawning mouth of Su Sterru.
This four-hour loop threads natural and human history. The Golgo Plateau (Piano di Golgo) is a karst surface carved by water and time, where sinkholes and basalt faces meet shepherd trails and small stone chapels. San Pietro Church, rebuilt over the 17th–18th centuries by local shepherds, still marks seasonal pilgrimages; nearby are traces of Nuragic-era stonework and wind-polished features like the so-called Stone Mask.
Expect short, easy walks at viewpoints and to the edge of Su Sterru — Europe’s single-drop sinkhole — and multiple photo stops over the Gulf of Orosei. The ride is rough in places; jeeps handle the 90 km off-road route, but feet on the ground reward you with close-up geology and quiet pastoral scenes.
Practical notes: the tour departs Arbatax/Tortolì, lasts about four hours, and accommodates small groups. Bring at least 2 liters of water, sun protection, sturdy shoes for short walks and a light layer for winds on the plateau. Travelers with back, heart or pregnancy concerns should reconsider; contact the operator to arrange pickup from your accommodation in the Tortolì–Arbatax area.
