Chia: Kayaking the Wild Side and Snorkeling in Secret Beach

Chia: Kayaking the Wild Side and Snorkeling in Secret Beach

The set chosen for our adventure is a hidden corner that even many locals don't know. No traces of roads or buildings on the way, except for a trail dating back to Roman Times and a 16th century old whatchtower. That's why this tour takes you where many people can't go, without a kayak. You don't need to be an experienced kayaker, thanks to a 10 minutes briefing you are going to learn the basic tricks that will come handy shortly thereafter to tame your kayak in the wild nature. Once left our lovely launch beach we find ourselves immersed in an idyllic scenery made of emerald cristal clear water, little bays and rough cliffs. We are not kayaking the whole time! Our destination for the break is a secret wild beach only reachable by sea where we can stretch our legs, relax or wear our snorkeling kits and explore the underwater world. After this refreshing moment it's still time for some exploration! On our way back, a surprise. A sea cave is waiting for us and we can't miss the chance to get in with our kayaks. Now that we explored every corner of this dramatic stretch of coast, just a few more photos to take before landing at the beach where we started, to impress a moment that you won't easily forget.

The kayak tour with Alessandro was an incredibly amazing experience for us! After a brief introduction (we had no experience with kayaking), he put us completely at ease, was very attentive and helpful, and took us to some incredibly beautiful places, including a surprise! A completely successful trip! We can recommend the tour to anyone and would do it again anytime! Thank you!

A must-do in Sardinia! Alessandro was an amazing tutor. He taught us how to properly use a kayak including how to get in and out of the kayak safely. He knows the area well and he also suggested to us a couple of nearby beaches/bars that we had to visit! The surprise at the end was the cherry on the cake! Thats for you to find out😉

We had a great time—Alessandro was a wonderful guide, very attentive but never intrusive, very informative, we always felt safe, and we had beautiful views, moments, etc. We will definitely be back for more kayaking! A very enthusiastic family!
