Welcome to our multi-day tour to La Maddalena Archipelago National Park and Costa Smeralda
Before you go ahead with this text we want to inform our visitors that wild camping in Sardinia is forbidden all over the island, do not risk a fine (a penalty) or worse a denunciation, follow our reccomandation!
On this page you can find many ideas to plan your next kayak holiday in Sardinia with your family, your friends or your kayak club.
Best months to discover Sardinia on a multi-day tour are:
- second half of May
- June
- first half of July
- September
La Maddalena Archipelago is an authentic paradise of 7 islands surrounded by an emerald and unpolluted sea and immersed in a spectacular naturalistic area with the typical Sardinian rocks and the lush Mediterranean vegetation which especially in summer is heavily scented with myrtle.
All along the coastline beautiful coves and ancient fortifications, dolphins can sometimes be spotted!!!
Our KAYAK BASE CAMP (click here to read more about the BASE CAMP) is between La Maddalena Archipelago and Costa Smeralda.
We can design the tour on your specific needs and desires:
- five day trips starting from our KAYAK BASE CAMP if you want to enjoy the comfort of tents, boungalows, showers; wake up, jump in the kayak and go !
- a multi day tour between 2-4 different campsites-villages if you want to feel more adventurous
- some day trips from our BASE CAMP and other trips moving by car and kayak-trailer if you want to see Costa Smeralda, Golfo Aranci and other places.
In the first case you can also choose to sleep in my village (San Pantaleo) to enjoy the local lifestyle with us.
