Ciao! My name is Simone and I love my island, Sardinia, from the depths of my heart. As a passionate nature lover, my mission is to take care of the amazing natural heritage we have, share this environmental awareness with my guests and make them appreciate the deepest, wildest part of the island, along with its culture, traditions and, especially, its people! Let's share an AdvenTour to make you experience what I mean! It'd be a pleasure to organize unforgettable tours for you, so you can immerse yourself not just into the beautiful waters of our sea but also into a millennial history, unique culture and unusual lifestyle. From the ancient Nuragic Civilization, who built the biggest towers in the Mediterranean area during the Bronze Age to today's Sardinians, some of whom have lived past 100 years of age. Sardinians are special! You'll find out a lot about the mysteries of centenarians and one of the Blue Zones of the world! If you're interested in wildlife and flora like moufflons, falcons, oaks or wild orchids, I'll take you on an amazing, wild AdvenTour! Of course, all tours can be tailor-made and adapted to special needs / interests! Some lines about myself now: I was born in Orosei, on the East coast of Sardinia and I soon realized that my passion for nature would become my profession. Since 2014, I've been working as a guide, especially in the area around Orosei and the Supramonte mountains, the wildest on the island, but I'm always looking for new areas to discover! I also spent some time abroad, which helped me improve my language skills and learn from other peoples and cultures: in Spain, in Montpellier (France), where I worked as a researcher for the CNRS (National Centre of Scientific Research) and in Germany. For the safety and security of our guests in the mountains, be aware that I am member of AIGAE (Associazione Italiana Guide Ambientali Escursionistiche), the most important national association in the sector. I give great importance to sustainability, itineraries off the beaten path and collaborations with authentic people. I want you to be an active part of our tours, so: Ajò!

Today I'll take you to discover the Blue Zone in Dorgali. From Cala Gonone, we'll visit the fascinating Ghivine forest, not far from the coast of the Gulf of Orosei, known for its beautiful beaches and its blue sea. After a nice 4x4 adventour, we'll arrive at a majestic natural stone arch, a magical place ideal for taking wonderful photos, learning about the ancient history of these rocks that emerged from the sea millions of years ago, and of the Nuragic civilization born 1500 years b. c. We will also visit a shepherd and goat breeder from Dorgali, who will share and discuss, and may also even show us the art of milk processing and cheese making (depending on the time period the tour is booked in). Listening to his legendary stories about life in these mountains and the agro-pastoral tradition, we'll taste some products made directly by him, accompanied by a good glass of cannonau wine and a lunch based on typical local products of the Blue Zone. If requested, we could also visit some artisan in Dorgali!
- After picking you up from your location, we'll pass by the town of Cala Gonone towards Ghivine, a 200 hundred year-old oak forest! - Later, we'll reach the natural stone arch of Suttaterra (great photo op). - Next, we'll visit a Nuragic fortification from 1500 years b. c. - Afterwards, we'll visit a sheepfold, a shepherd and goat breeder from Dorgali.
