About this tour

Explore southern Sardinia's dramatic coastline by boat from Cagliari, hitting protected beaches and hidden coves across 5–6 hours. Depart from the sheltered Capo Malfatano bay and make roughly four stops, including the restricted-access Tuerredda beach where you'll drift over crystalline shallows or simply float in turquoise bays. A guide shares local stories while you move between secluded swimming spots accessible only by water.

Highlights

  • Tuerredda beach access (summer bookings required on land)
  • Snorkel pristine reefs across multiple anchorages
  • Dinghy gets you into narrow coves the big boats miss
  • Local guide recounts Sardinian lore and coastal secrets
  • Turquoise water and white sand, minimal crowds
  • Around 90 minutes under sail to reach the first stops

What to expect

You'll board a motorised vessel in the quiet bay at Capo Malfatano and head south. The first leg takes roughly ninety minutes; the skipper will pick spots based on wind and sea state, so the exact itinerary shifts. At each stop you'll anchor in ankle-to-waist-deep water, ideal for snorkelling or swimming. Bring your own towel and don't expect beach facilities—this is bare-bones coastal exploration. The guide fills gaps with regional colour and maritime history. Weather can force a reshuffle or cancellation, which triggers a full refund.

Good to know

Snorkel gear is supplied; bring reef shoes or water shoes. The boat is cramped, so pack light. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, cardiovascular concerns, or are pregnant. Public buses connect nearby. The skipper has final say on route changes. Bottled water is on board; bring your own food or purchase lunch ashore if a stop permits.
