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.

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.
This stretch of northeastern Sardinia has been a working coastline for millennia: Phoenicians and later fishing communities used these islands and inlets as seasonal markers. Geologically, the shoreline alternates granite headlands and small sedimentary coves sculpted by wind and wave; offshore islets like Figarolo are waypoints for birds and marine life. Local culture leans on slow meals and sea-sourced food—hence the aperitif stop that pairs well with a brief surface snorkel among starfish and wrasse.
Practically, expect a relaxed 3-hour loop suitable for beginners. Total paddling distance is typically 5–7 km depending on conditions, with no elevation but variable sea state. Guides provide life jackets, waterproof bags and basic instruction; brief swimming and snorkeling are part of the stop at Cala Moresca. Dolphins are frequently sighted near the Figarolo fish-farm area, but sightings are wildlife-dependent.
Bring reef shoes, reef-safe sunscreen, a refillable water bottle and a lightweight wind layer. Time departures for morning or late afternoon to avoid the strongest sun and busier beaches. Respect Posidonia meadows by avoiding dragging or anchoring and follow guide directions during wildlife encounters.

The Olbia coastline has long supported fishing and small-scale coastal navigation; nearby islets served as markers for ancient sailors and local fishers.
