Paddle from Baracconi beach through crystalline coves to Figarolo islet, snorkeling rocky seabeds and enjoying a Sardinian aperitif. Beginner-friendly guides, frequent dolphin sightings, and a 3-hour coastal loop make this a relaxed marine outing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a shallow sand strip at Baracconi and the Mediterranean takes hold—gentle chop nudging your kayak, salt on the air, and cliffs that drop straight into glassy blue. Guides give a short lesson, then the group flows along the coast toward the coves of Cala Moresca, where seagrass beds and rock ledges harbor fish that flash silver beneath your paddle.

Arrive hydrated and fed
Drink water and have a light snack before launch—paddling burns energy and shade is limited on the water.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and the Posidonia seagrass meadows by choosing mineral-based, reef-friendly sunscreen.
Wear reef shoes
Stony beaches and rocky entry points make closed-toe water shoes useful for getting in and out of the kayak.
Follow guide positioning
Guides pick routes to minimize disturbance to wildlife—stay in groups and avoid chasing animals for photos.
Personal flotation device (if you prefer your own)
Operators provide life jackets, but a personal PFD can improve fit and comfort.
Reef shoes or water sandals
Protect feet on rocky shore entries and when snorkeling off shallow reefs.
