Sardinia Motorcycle Tour: Curves at Their Best

Sardinia motorcycle tour means ten days of riding on one of Europe's finest motorcycle islands. Before the island circuit begins, the route heads via Switzerland to Genoa ferry port, where the overnight ferry departs in 2-berth cabins to Porto Torres. From there the Sardinia motorcycle tour leads first to the base hotel near Carbonia on the south-west coast, then the Gulf of Orosei becomes the second base on the east coast. Along the way you experience winding routes through mountain villages, high plains and spectacular coastal roads – organised, guided and with ample time for the scenery.

Highlights

Guided Motorcycle Tour

On this guided Sardinia motorcycle tour you ride in small groups with experienced guides over the island's finest routes. The stages are planned so you can enjoy the bends and views in a relaxed way without worrying about logistics.

Coastal Roads of Sardinia

Sardinian coastal roads by motorcycle at their purest: from the Costa Verde to the Costa Smeralda the route hugs cliffs, coves and sandy beaches. Every stage offers new views of the turquoise sea and the rugged rock coastline.

Curves in the Interior

Winding Sardinian routes await in the hinterland between Iglesias and Arbus: narrow mountain roads, remote high plains and villages that reveal the island's original character – ideal for riders who love both curves and views.

Base Hotel Gulf of Orosei

You spend four nights of this motorcycle tour right on the beach of the east coast at the Gulf of Orosei. From here day tours depart to Fonni, Aritzo and Lago di Gusana, while the hotel offers evening relaxation with sea views.

Pure On-Road Pleasure

This on-road Sardinia motorcycle tour dispenses entirely with gravel and dirt tracks: well-maintained roads throughout, light traffic and bend after bend invite relaxed cruising and spirited riding in equal measure.
