SUP Tour & Snorkelling | Cagliari, Sardinia
Cagliari SUP Tour and Snorkelling at Sella del Diavolo
Paddle the emerald coastline, explore sea caves, and snorkel the crystal-clear waters of southern Sardinia.
This SUP tour at Sella del Diavolo brings you face to face with one of Cagliari's most iconic coastal landscapes, where limestone cliffs drop into pools of emerald-green water and hidden caves invite exploration at every turn.
The experience begins with a brief introduction to stand-up paddleboarding, making it accessible even for those who have never stepped on a board before. An instructor covers the basics and core technique before the group sets out along the dramatic cliff face of the Sella del Diavolo promontory.
The route winds past towering rock formations known locally as faraglioni, with stops at natural pools perfect for snorkelling and a small pebble beach for a short rest. The tour continues toward Cala Fighera, passing the imposing entrance to the Grotta dei Colombi, and finishes near Calamosca, where a compact sea cave adds a final touch of discovery.
The difficulty level is rated easy, and the total time on the water is three hours, making this a well-paced outing for families, couples, and solo travellers with a reasonable level of fitness.
Tour Highlights
Paddle along the base of the Sella del Diavolo cliff on calm, transparent waters that reveal the seabed below.
Pass close to dramatic limestone faraglioni formations that rise directly from the sea along the promontory.
Receive hands-on instruction in stand-up paddleboarding before departing, so no prior experience is required.
Snorkel in sheltered natural pools where underwater visibility is exceptional along this section of the southern Sardinian coast.
Enter a small sea cave near Calamosca for a close-up encounter with the raw geology of the Cagliari coastline.
Pass the entrance to the Grotta dei Colombi, a landmark cave visible only from the water along the route to Cala Fighera.

This tour operates along the southern coastline of Sardinia, Italy, departing from Cagliari, the island's capital city. The route follows the base of the Sella del Diavolo promontory, a protected headland that separates the Gulf of Cagliari from the Golfo degli Angeli. Key landmarks visited include Cala Fighera, the Grotta dei Colombi, and the Calamosca bay area. The coastline in this zone is characterised by Miocene-era limestone cliffs, turquoise and emerald-green inshore waters, and a series of small coves and sea caves accessible only from the water. The area falls within or adjacent to the Molentargius-Saline Regional Park buffer zone and is recognised for its ecological and geological significance. Cagliari is served by Cagliari-Elmas Airport (CAG), located approximately 6 kilometres from the city centre, with connections across Europe especially during the spring-to-autumn season when this tour runs.
