This 6-day itinerary is the ideal introduction to Sardinia, and a great starting point, if you'd like to add on one or two days in other destinations in Sardinia or Italy. You'll see the two fundamental elements of Sardinia - the coast and the interior. Your days will be spent sailing in the crystalline waters, visiting wineries, and exploring traditional villages.

In addition to the tours included we can arrange a number of excursions based on your own interests. All of our tours are custom, and this is just a sample meant to give an idea of what our trips are like, and the opportunities our destinations provide.

One of our team members in the region will be available to you leading up to and during your trip to answer any questions and arrange additional local services. You will receive access to your Guest Page, with its information on the best these destinations have to offer, including things to see and do, and other inside tips from restaurant recommendations to tipping advice. Upon your arrival, we will provide you with a local SIM that you can use to reach your local JayWay contact throughout your trip.
