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.

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.
Itinerary
The tour launches from Capo Malfatano, where guides brief participants on paddling technique and safety before setting out along the coast toward Tuerredda Island.
A 25 to 30 minute stop at Perda Longa beach allows participants to snorkel the rocky seabed, swim, or relax on the sand before continuing along the cliffs.
Paddling along sheer cliff faces leads to the Ferraglione island group, where natural tidal pools host colonies of sea urchins. These are observed only — collection is strictly prohibited.
The group arrives at Tuerredda and enters a secluded cove only reachable by sea, offering swimming in some of the clearest water on the Sardinian coast.
The return paddle to Capo Malfatano passes through a traditional fishermen's lagoon, closing the loop with a glimpse of local maritime heritage before reaching the starting point.
