Dust kicks up as the convoy eases from Pula onto rutted forest trails, the jeeps tasting the pungent Mediterranean scrub and climbing toward ridgelines where wind scours the pines. Riders look out for movement—deer and fallow deer often pause in the carob and cork oaks, as if studying the strangers who have come through their kingdom.

Dust kicks up as the convoy eases from Pula onto rutted forest trails, the jeeps tasting the pungent Mediterranean scrub and climbing toward ridgelines where wind scours the pines. Riders look out for movement—deer and fallow deer often pause in the carob and cork oaks, as if studying the strangers who have come through their kingdom.
This half-day loop slices through Is Cannoneris, one of Sardinia’s largest Mediterranean forests, then drops toward the Chia coastline—white sand, emerald surf and stoic Spanish watchtowers that mark centuries of maritime history. Geological folds here alternate granite ridges and sandy promontories carved by sea and wind; the terrain explains why only 4x4s run these tracks regularly.
Cultural layers appear on route: shepherding traditions on the hillsides, Phoenician traces near the beaches, and a stop at a Nuraghe—an imposing stone tower complex whose origins reach back some 3,500 years. Guides certified in environmental interpretation translate plant names and point out how the woodlands sustain local deer populations.
Practically, the tour mixes on-road comfort with short walks at scenic stops. Expect 4–5 hours total, some uneven ground during brief hikes, and coastal breezes that can shift temperature quickly. Visitors should bring sun protection, a light wind layer, and binoculars for wildlife viewing. The experience balances a gentle taste of Sardinia’s backcountry with historical context—an efficient way to see forest, sea and ancient stones in a single afternoon.
The tour runs about 4–5 hours, including jeep transfers, 2–3 short scenic walks and stops at Chia and a Nuraghe.
Yes—infant seats are available and strollers can be used, but some walks are on uneven ground.
Wildlife sightings are common—guides know local deer locations but sightings are not guaranteed.
