Sea Kayak Tour — Chia, Sardinia
Kayak Tour from Capo Malfatano to Tuerredda
Paddle through hidden coves, sea caves, and turquoise waters along one of Sardinia's most celebrated coastlines.
This kayak tour in Tuerredda guides paddlers along a dramatic stretch of southern Sardinia's coastline, combining gentle sea exploration with swimming stops, snorkeling, and moments of pure coastal calm. Designed for all levels, the four-hour outing is led by expert guides who know every channel and cove along the route.
The southern tip of Sardinia around Chia is widely regarded as one of the island's most scenic coastal areas, and this tour reaches corners of it that are inaccessible by land. Participants kayak past sheer limestone cliffs, through natural rock arches, and alongside small islands shaped by centuries of wind and sea.
Stops along the way are chosen for their beauty and variety. A pause at Perda Longa beach offers time to snorkel over the rocky seabed or simply float in the clear water, while the finale at Tuerredda opens onto a cove reachable only by sea, where the color of the water shifts from deep blue to pale turquoise in the shallows.
Tour Highlights
Paddle through natural sea caves and along towering coastal cliffs between Capo Malfatano and Tuerredda.
Observe the Ferraglione rocky archipelago, a dramatic cluster of islets rising from the sea along the route.
Snorkel over vivid seabeds teeming with sea urchins and marine life during dedicated stops at secluded beaches.
Reach the secret cove at Tuerredda, a sheltered bay that can only be accessed by sea kayak or boat.
Tour difficulty is rated easy, making it suitable for beginners and families with no prior kayaking experience required.
Visit the traditional fishermen's lagoon on the return leg, adding a cultural and scenic note to the journey.

This tour operates along the southern coast of Sardinia, Italy, in the Chia area of the Sulcis-Iglesiente region within the Metropolitan City of Cagliari. The departure point is Capo Malfatano, a prominent headland approximately 50 km southwest of Cagliari. The route extends westward along the coast to Tuerredda, a beach and cove consistently ranked among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. The coastline in this area is characterized by limestone cliffs, sea stacks, and crystalline inshore waters protected by the Capo Spartivento peninsula. The Ferraglione islets and Perda Longa beach, both visited during the tour, are lesser-known natural landmarks within this stretch that attract marine ecologists and recreational divers.
