PARAGLIDING
Flying in Sardinia will give you one of the most amazing perspectives of the surrounding beaches and hidden coves of the island.
Crossing Sardinia is a real paragliding adventure in one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean. We will start in Alghero, flight in different spot depending on the forecast, we will sleep in an agriturismo or B&B. This is a perfect trip for different levels of pilots. It is our job to take you, each day, to the best flying site(s) with regard to wind strength and direction. When there is a choice available this will always be explained to you so we can make a joint decision on what to do. Depending on the weather forecast the route can be adapted in order to have the best flying conditions. Our flexibility to move around Sardinia as the weather dictates means you fly more.
The guidance can be in Italian, English, or French.
PACK YOUR SENSE OF ADVENTURE
Flying the mythical Sardinia island, expect the unexpected. If you’re looking for adventure this one’s for you.
FOOD
Busy bodies need to be fuelled with tasty and nutritious foods. We do this by eating real, fresh, nutritionally dense, and seasonally relevant dishes. We try to strike a balance between healthy food and some of the Sardinian specialties. These are the slow foods that have been grown, procured and prepared locally according to ancient traditions. But of course, there may even be one or two modern treats along the way. To live this experience to the fullest, you’ll obviously need some very good fuel, and that’s why we thought of including a delicious menu. The NuAdventure’ approach is all about eating clean, without compromising the pleasure. We believe in finding the right balance. We’ll be eating in fantastic restaurants and with local host families for an authentic experience, including our fantastic Sheperd dinner!
ADVENTURE
“You think adventure is dangerous…try routine, it’s lethal.”
Sardinia is still such a raw & wild country to explore. It’s in our DNA: setting out into unknown territory, leaving comfort zones far behind and discovering what the universe has in store. Adventure is good for your body, your mind, and spirit. At NuAdventure, it’s the course that connects – people, nature, and motivated exercise. It challenges and rewards us, with experience, wisdom, and stories to tell.
WINE & BEER
In Sardinia, the wine has always represented an important resource, an ancient history which is capable of surprising even today; an indissoluble heritage from culture, from places and from people who live here. From white wines to reds, an enological path also passing in the other styles and, among them, authentic rarities, extraordinary representatives of the island’s winemaking, such as Malvasia di Bosa and Vernaccia di Oristano. We combine the taste with the landscape beauty of Malvasia.
If you like beer, you’ve come to the right place there are no less than 24 artisan breweries scattered all over Sardinia. In other words, you never risk remaining without, no matter where in Sardinia. These are all mini-breweries dedicated to producing what we like to call ‘live’ beer – live in the sense that it continually evolves and promises the palate adventures rather than habits.

“My son (15) and I (15+) did an afternoon of paragliding with Fabrizio and his girlfriend yesterday. It was amazing. They were both so friendly and helpful. We felt very safe and looked after. Once in the air, the panoramic view with the surrounding mountains (where the rare griffon eagles reside), clear skies and acquamarine coastline made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will not quickly forget. Fantastic, adrenaline-fuelled fun with great people. Do it today, you will not regret it”

“To me, NuAdventure was as much a wonderful experience enjoying a new place with new (and like-minded) people, excellent food, and a real vacation (adventure!) from work, as much as it was a zen-like experience where I stepped outside of myself and my comfort zone…”

Is SUP Difficult? Do I Need Special Skills?
No-Our adventures are customized to allow everyone to enjoy this sport. Our equipment is very stable and designed for flatwater gliding with minimal effort.
If you are a beginner, keep in mind you could be falling! That’s the fun part!
Whilst SUP is promoted as easy, you will not have much fun out on the water if you don’t invest in a proper lesson. This would be at least 30 minutes instruction on the beach before even entering the water.
