The experience

What makes this ride different is the electric motor: it lets you cover miles of backcountry without the fitness barrier of a standard mountain bike. You start in the hills and descend toward the coast, passing through Mediterranean scrub and juniper woods that open onto white-sand beaches. The route moves between two protected reserves: Oasi Bidderosa to the north, where lagoons dotted with pink flamingos sit between the sea and shaded forest, and Capo Comino to the east, a headland of dunes and pinewood that drops to one of Sardinia's clearest waters. The guide handles the route and timing. You handle the pedals and the brakes.

Oasi Bidderosa is the heart of the ride. Paths cross through secular junipers, oaks and pines, and you cycle among the lagoons where hundreds of bird species nest and feed. The reserve sits where the Bérchida river meets the sea, creating a constellation of shallow water and rose-colored sand. Capo Comino offers a different landscape: vast white beaches backed by dunes and a wild coastline that runs from an old lighthouse down to a vast pinewood. Both stops give you time to swim in the crystal water or rest in the shade, depending on the day's pace and your energy.

The tour runs six hours total, which includes riding time, stops at both reserves, and the technical support of a guide who speaks English or Italian. You'll need to contact the operator at least 72 hours ahead (by phone or WhatsApp) to confirm your departure and discuss bike setup. Helmets and all technical support are included. Bring water and food of your own, and wear clothes you don't mind getting sandy or wet.

What’s included

• Electric mountain bike with helmet and all technical support.
• a live guide in English or Italian who leads the route and paces the day.
• access to both Oasi Bidderosa and Capo Comino reserves and their beaches.

Top questions

What's the riding like on an electric mountain bike compared to a regular one?

The electric motor handles the steep climbs and long flats, so you control the pace and effort instead of the terrain controlling it. You still pedal and steer, but the motor takes the strain out of the ascents and lets you ride longer distances without exhaustion, which is why this tour can cover both the hills inland and the full coastal reserves in one day.

Can I swim at Oasi Bidderosa and Capo Comino during the tour?

Yes. Both reserves have time built in for swimming in the crystal-clear water. Oasi Bidderosa has rose-colored sand and shallow lagoons. Capo Comino has white-sand beaches and deeper water. The guide will show you where to enter safely and how long you can stay based on the day's schedule.

What happens at Oasi Bidderosa that makes it different from other beaches in Sardinia?

Oasi Bidderosa is a protected nature reserve where the Bérchida river creates lagoons between the forest and the sea, and thousands of pink flamingos live there year-round. You cycle through shaded woods of ancient junipers and oaks, then ride out onto the beach itself. It's not a viewpoint, you're moving through the habitat.

Do I need to be fit to do this tour?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels because the electric motor removes the cardiovascular demand of climbing. That said, you should be comfortable on a bike and able to ride for stretches of an hour or more with breaks. Contact the operator before booking if you have concerns about balance, stamina or any previous injuries.

What do I need to bring, and what's included?

The tour includes the electric bike, helmet, and all technical support from the guide. You bring your own water and food. There are no shops at either reserve, so pack what you'll need for six hours. Wear clothes that can get wet or sandy, and bring sunscreen.

Why do I have to call 72 hours before the tour starts?

The operator prepares the bikes in advance based on your height, weight and riding style, and confirms the final details of your departure time and route. This call ensures the bike fits you properly and the day is set up for your best experience.
