What a team building is, and what it is not
A team building is not a company outing. It has a goal (better collaboration between departments, better communication, trust in a new group) and uses shared activities to reach it. To work, it needs activities suited to the group, clear timing and a final moment in which the group talks about what it has experienced.
Why Sardinia works
A few hours' drive takes you from the sea to the mountains and the countryside, so the same base allows very different activities. The island has three main airports, Alghero, Olbia and Cagliari, and the season for outdoor activities is long, from spring to autumn.
The most requested activities
- At sea: boat excursions, snorkelling and open-water swimming, with licensed skippers and instructors.
- In nature: guided walks and trekking, birdwatching.
- Sports: team activities and timed challenges, adapted to the group's fitness level.
- Culture: guided visits to nuragic sites and villages, with licensed guides.
- Food and wine: winery tastings and lunches in the vineyard, which bring the group together beyond the activity itself.
How long it takes
As a general guide: one day is enough for a single activity with a group lunch and dinner; two or three days allow you to combine different activities and make room for a work meeting; a long weekend works well for groups that do not know each other yet. The right length depends on the goal and the budget.
How a day is structured
An indicative example: arrival and briefing in the morning, main activity before lunch, group lunch, a lighter second activity in the afternoon, a debrief and dinner. In midsummer it is best to concentrate outdoor activities in the cooler hours.
What affects the cost
The cost depends on the number of participants, duration, season, transfers, type of activity, catering, venue and insurance. That is why it is best to ask for a quote with precise numbers. If the team building is part of a wider trip, see also the guide on how to plan an incentive trip to Sardinia.
Safety and organisation
Activities at sea and in nature require licensed guides, skippers and instructors, and a programme with an alternative in case of bad weather. Kelku Travel is a licensed travel agency with professional liability insurance: details are on the Guarantees and terms page.
A real example
For the Convention of Young Sardinian Emigrants of the Sardinia Region we handled secretariat, reception, logistics, flights and programme for 150 participants over 3 days in Alghero. The case study explains what we did.
