About this tour

A qualified instructor walks you through the basics before you navigate sheltered coves and hidden beaches, stopping to swim and spot local marine life.

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at one of several launch points—Cala Girgolu, Porto Istana, Porto San Paolo, or Golfo Aranci—depending on that day's conditions. The first 20 minutes covers paddling technique and safety on the sand; then you're off on the water. Expect gentle paddling through transparent shallows and along rocky outcrops. You'll stop twice: once to cool off and search for fish and seabirds, once to sit with your breakfast or evening drink and take in the view. The pace is leisurely, not athletic. Weather decides everything—if the sea turns rough, they'll reschedule you via WhatsApp the day before.
Good to know
Bring your own drinking water, towel, and water shoes; a light layer helps if it's not peak summer. The tour runs only in suitable conditions and may shift location or time. Insurance is included. Not suitable if you have serious heart or lung concerns, though fitness level needn't be high. Service dogs welcome.
