Kayak in Tavolara: Explore the Crystal Waters
trending_upDifficulty: EasyImagine paddling through some of the most spectacular waters in Sardinia, with the iconic silhouette of Tavolara Island rising dramatically from the sea right in front of you. 🌊 This half-day kayak adventure from Porto San Paolo is one of the most unforgettable coastal experiences in northern Sardinia — and once you're out on the water, you'll immediately understand why. 🚣 Setting off from the Cala Finanza pier, we head towards the Isola dei Cavalli and then glide across crystal-clear turquoise waters to reach the hidden beach of Isola della Piana — a secluded bay so breathtaking it almost feels surreal. From here, we cross the stretch of sea that separates Piana Island from Capo Ceraso and arrive at Porto Istana, one of the most beautiful coves south of Olbia. This is our halfway stop: the perfect moment to rest, swim in the warm Sardinian sea, and soak up the scenery. 🐠 After the break, we continue along the coast, passing the charming Spiaggia dei Pescatori and the sheltered inlet of Costa Corallina, before paddling back to our starting point at Cala Finanza. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced paddler, this guided kayak tour in Sardinia offers the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and sea. 🌅 No prior experience required — just a love for the ocean and an open heart.

Did the best hike of my life at tavolara with Thinking Sardinia with Stefano. He's a wonderful guide and fun to be with. One of the best things I've ever done. Highly recommended if youre into fun and adventure but not afraid of heights, specially if you go up the via Ferrata which is not for the non fit or light hearted The price was very reasonable and included the boat ride and the 6 hour hike and then we got to spend about 1.5 hr at the beautiful underneath.

This year I decided to climb Tavolara...with my son. It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. An extraordinary, unforgettable adventure...made even more incredible by our fantastic guide Valter, who helped, supported, and put up with us every step of the way. The care shown towards each of us was simply unique. The attention to safety...was impeccable. I truly recommend this experience to everyone, even if it's not exactly easy. 😅 With a little commitment, perseverance, determination, and a guide like Valter, who encourages and accompanies you every step of the way, it's accessible to everyone. Thanks again...see you next year
