Gutsy Girls | Sardinia SUP and Yoga 4 Night Adventure
Bosa, Sardinia, Bosa, ITJoin Gutsy Girls for a four night SUP, Yoga and Hike Adventure in Sardinia, an extra-long weekend escape where crystal clear Mediterranean waters, rugged coastal trails and protected wilderness pack serious adventure into a compact break.
This trip is for active women with limited annual leave or those wanting to try a new summer sport without committing to a full week. Whether you've never stood on a SUP board before or you're ready to tackle new coastlines, you'll paddle through sea caves, explore hidden beaches, hike to remote viewpoints and test your limits on a Via Ferrata, all with expert local guides. Off the water you'll learn to make fresh ravioli with local nonnas, explore the coastal town that’s home for the week, and share wine tastings and laughs with an active group of like-minded women.
Why Sardinia for SUP?
- Pristine waters - Paddle the unspoiled Sardinian west coast where crystal clear Mediterranean waters lead you to secluded bays, sea caves and beaches you'll have mostly to yourselves.
- River and sea paddling - Four days covering 5-9km sessions on both coastal waters and the River Temo, Sardinia's only navigable river, weaving through countryside and farmland.
- Beginner friendly - No SUP experience needed. Expert instructors will get you up and paddling in no time, with skills training and plenty of breaks to soak in the views.
- Medieval base - Return each evening to Bosa, one of Italy's most picturesque towns, with pastel houses stacked along the riverbank and cobblestone streets to explore.
Highlights:
- Four days of guided adventures: Daily SUP sessions exploring dramatic coastlines, plus guided hike, Via Ferrata, yoga and cultural experiences led by local experts.
- Sea cave exploration: Weave through ancient grottos carved by Mediterranean waves, navigate to hidden beaches, and discover spots only accessible from the water.
- River Temo paddle: Journey down Sardinia's only navigable river at an easy pace, viewing Bosa's pastel houses and castle from the water while practicing your SUP skills.
- Via Ferrata della Regina: Scale exposed cliff face using steel cables, ladders and foot holds, with Lake Temo plunging far below. No climbing experience required.
- Griffon vulture hike: Trek into perfectly preserved wilderness to find one of the last remaining colonies of these rare birds with six-foot wingspans
- Three yoga sessions: Vinyasa-based classes at a riverside studio to stretch tired muscles, improve flexibility and help you recover between adventure days.
- Traditional Sardinian cuisine: Make ravioli with Sardinian grandmothers, try wine tasting in ancient rock caves, and enjoy an evening boat cruise with antipasti.
🔥 Difficulty Level
This trip is rated moderate. You'll be active for 4-5 hours daily, paddling between 5km and 9km with substantial sun exposure. Four days of back-to-back activities means you'll need good fitness and stamina. The Via Ferrata requires a head for heights but no climbing skills.No prior SUP or yoga experience needed. If you're ready to pack maximum adventure into a long weekend, this is for you.
