Sardinia Insider Experience
About Us
We specialize in the ultra-local, the fading arts, and the deeply historical. Here is a taste of the truly niche experiences we offer: The Thread of the Sea (Sant'Antioco): A private visit with one of the last remaining masters of byssus (sea silk) weaving. Witness the incredibly rare, ancient Phoenician technique of spinning filaments from noble pen shells into "sea gold." The Charcoal Burner’s Path (Supramonte): A demanding, historical trek deep into the wildest mountains of Sardinia. Guided by descendants of local shepherds, you will navigate the forgotten trails and visit the restored huts of the ancient carbonai (charcoal burners). Archaeo-Astronomy Under the Stars: Experience Sardinia’s prehistoric Nuraghe or Tombs of Giants at night. Accompanied by an archaeologist and an astronomer, you will learn how ancient Sardinians read the cosmos, far from any light pollution. The Tonnara Tradition (Carloforte): An immersive dive into the centuries-old, complex culture of the "Mattanza" (traditional bluefin tuna fishing). Visit the historic processing plants, meet former tonnarotti fishermen, and taste the distinct parts of the tuna rarely exported off the island.
