Sea Kayak in Sardinia

Very nice tour, well arranged and highly met the expectations we had from the tour description.

Loved viewing the rugged coastline up close in the well equipped kayaks. Bonus all the sea swimming and land exploring on breaks. Food, wine, room and hospitality all excellent as were Clark and Juan. Wholeheartedly recommend.

We were blessed with great weather leading to stunning paddles on two of our days. The last day's paddle came with more of the now expected glorious scenery, unbelievable rock formations and crystal clear water. It was adjusted to cater for high wind and swell and while we would have enjoyed tackling a bit more of a challenge as opposed to slicing through the polished surface of the previous days, the paddle has to be structured around the those with the least experience. If you're wanting more, then arrange a group of 8 peer paddlers with the Sea Kayak Sardinia outfit. We took our own kit PFD and spray deck though theirs looked of good quality. We were put in Scorpios and they were great.

Accommodation was fantastic at Agriturismo Agave. It was very comfortable. Clean, nice sized room, hot shower, large patio and fabulous food. It's a well run family business and our experience with Monica and her team was spot on. A great location as a base for the paddling. It is that nice that we would stay there again rather than in Alghero. But a car would be necessary.

Overall a fabulous few days, well organised by Clark, with the paddles led by a knowledgeable Juan. Thanks.

I loved our kayaking adventure in Sardinia. It was our first Much Better Adventures trip - and it really was flawless. Beautiful seas & coastline, friendly guides, and the accommodation.........I would have stayed there for weeks. Breakfast & dinner were wonderful, the owners were very friendly, and there was so much to eat. A beautiful pool area too. I was very happy!! Will

I had a brilliant trip and met lovely people, a big thanks to Clarke and Bajaman. The accommodation, food and planning was fantastic.

Amazing trip and a fantastic group. The kayaking was well organised by Clark and guided by Juan. Food was top drawer.

Really enjoyed this kayak trip to Sardinia. Met some great people, and formed a nice group to kayak with. The accommodation was great, easy going, nice people. Clark the kayak man arranged everything we needed, talked us through the weather, options, picked us up every day and worked out a route that worked well for the weather, wind and waves. Really good trip, recommend this to solo travellers or couples/friends. Definitely recommend spend a day in Alghero before if you have time, lovely old town. Super trip

Great bunch of people, fantastic kayaking & scenery, excellent guides !

Wonderful trip in Sardinia with Clark and Manuel. Very enjoyable kayak trips along beautiful beaches and cliffs, not too crowded considering the time of year. I really appreciated Manuel's attitude, really cool and easy going but still professional and responsible. And the agriturismo was comfortable and relaxing with delicious local food!

This was far more than a kayaking trip. It was a way to see and experience the beautiful waters and beaches of North East Sardinia but it was also a journey of local food and produce. We were a group of six who thoroughly enjoyed hanging out for 4 days and had incredible laughs and conversations. We also had moments of calm and reflection during some of the really extraordinary beauty of the trip. We were lucky enough to experience different conditions which made the kayaking fun - And learn some tricks in them too. The food throughout the trip was exceptional home produce from the Agriturismo and it was an absolute highlight. All the kit we needed was provided and it was decent kit which really helped have a good time. Do invest in a waterproof pouch for your phone though. 100% brilliant.

The perfect blend of adventure, culture and rest! Thank you team MBA for putting on this great experience for us. Monica and Fabienne (the hosts at the Agriturismo) were wonderful and made us all feel so welcome, whilst the kayak guides/instructors were knowledgeable and developed confidence in the first time paddlers. It was an all-round perfect holiday!

Better than we could have hoped for. Location was perfect, our guide Manuel was funny and made sure we were all comfortable at all times. The kayaking was easier than we thought it would be. Manuel showed us some beautiful parts of the coast. The colour of the water was amazing and the beaches were fabulous. They also organised our accommodation which was perfect. Fantastic time. Would definitely do again, except we would stay longer in Sardinia. It was beautiful.

The group was great and so was our agriturismo. There are definitely some improvements that can be made however, especially ensuring that the description matches what is given. For example, it says in the description that we would get dessert with dinner, but none was provided. After the first day Clark said that it should be. When we then asked the agriturismo staff, they said it wasn't. When we went back to Clark about this he was quite rude saying 'it depends how you interpret the information - it says typically includes - not DOES include', even though he had also said the days before it should have been included. It was more the way he said it too, implying that we were being unreasonable. Also it states that the room have air conditioning, and they don't. They just had a fan. As were were quite isolated and there are no shops nearby, having a kettle in the room would be much appreciated, allowing us to make our own hot drinks on return from canoeing as otherwise it was not possible to get one and staff at the agriturismo are often out working on the farm. Also it was not advertised that we could order hot drinks anyway. Having a guide that stayed with us throughout the trip would have been nicer, it would have allowed questions to be answered, and problems sorted straight away. Clark was only there for van driving and Manuel when we were on the water. On the first evening when they arrived at dinner Clark didn't even introduce himself. It was only when Manuel asked us our names after that introductions began and we assumed Clark was the other person. Manuel was great with the group. The only worry I had was on day 1 when there was thunder and lightening, he didn't seem to know that it was unsafe to kayak in lightening - Clark had to tell him.

Such an incredible trip. The setting was stunning, the people were amazing and the trip was so well organised. Having never been to Sardinia or done a solo trip like this before, I was expecting a lot but this trip far exceeded my expectations. The Aguritismo was lovely. Amazing home-made (and in many cases home-grown) food and wine. Knowledgeable guides and beautiful beaches.

This holiday was so incredible, and I feel so lucky to have had these experiences with such a brilliant group of people.

Sardinia is a beautiful country with so much geography and history to enjoy. The food is absolutely delicious, especially if you like seafood (and gelato!). It's so easy to get around so the logistics of traveling were really easy.

The kayaking tour was so much fun and so well run. Clarke and Manuel are both very professional but so much fun! We spent the kayaking days with Manuel and we all felt very safe, even though most of us were new to kayaking. He took us on a different route every day, we experienced different water conditions and saw the beauty of the coastline as only a kayak allows you to see. We got snorkelling opportunities every lunchtime, and he was very knowledgeable of the wildlife in the ocean. Some of my favorite moments were when we were kayaking along in mirror like conditions, and just chatting between the boats about what we were seeing and other holidays we've had. We got to meet up with Clarke on the last day and share some memories over a glass of wine. It sounds like he's planning some similar tours in other countries, so I will be keeping an ear out for any updates!

I've done a couple of MBA tours now and always say that I got lucky to have such a great group of people......but maybe this is just the type of people that MBA attracts?! We had such a laugh out on the water all day; we helped each other out, we shared great conversations and got to know each other so well. I felt so relaxed with every one of them, and I hope we'll be able to meet up again some time.

I was a bit nervous about the fitness required for this type of holiday, but we all managed it very well. I think we were quite a balanced group, which probably made it easier to pace the week and make sure we were all happy with the distances we were covering. I go to the gym a few times a week and did a bit of core and upper body work to prepare for the trip. None of us were particularly sore after kayaking, and Manuel checked in with us regularly to see how our energy levels were. To enjoy it fully, I think you definitely need a reasonable level of fitness, but you definitely don't need to be running triathlons or have any kayaking experience.

I absolutely loved this trip and would happily do the whole thing all over again. Thank you Manuel, Clarke and all the team at the agriturismo for looking after us so well x

Had such a good time on this trip, sights and water is stunning. Argoturismo is amazing too.

Sardinia was beautiful, kayaking was relaxed, extremely well run, everyone taken care of, nobody left behind and Manwell and Clark our kayak guide and operator were fantastic, interesting and genuinely lovely people. Couldn’t have had a better time with them. The group age ranged from twenties through to fifties and everyone got on exceptionally well, lovely and interesting people all looking to have a fun holiday. The argirturismo accommodation was clean and comfortable, incredibly lovely family run and welcoming place to stay. Food was delicious, a fantastic experience all round. Thank you MBA x

Everything about this trip was great. It was a lovely few days out on the water seeing the fantastic coastline of Sardinia. Clarke, our guide was lovely, very patient and safety focused. Caters to all levels of kayaking and was not too strenuous.

Great group and great accommodation.

The perfect mix of activity and relaxation, nature and comfort. Clark and Manuel were great hosts, getting us settled in our kayaks quickly and taking us to 3 different breathtaking routes. The Agriturismo Agave was a great comfort to return to every evening, in anticipation of the great homemade dinners.

First time with Much Better Adventures and won’t be my last. Brilliant communication right from booking. Everything was as described and even a rainy day turned out to be especially memorable, kayaking in the rain with a swordfish jumping out of the water. Hugh thanks to our host Clark, you were great!!

Great experience. Very chill. The agroturismo is amazing. Good for beginners and those looking for a relaxing holiday

Looking forward to this trip but was rather disappointed, although it wasn't at all the fault of the company. Arrived at the agriturismo after hiring a car from Olbia where I flew into as flights to Alghero weren't suitable, but a nice drive across the island. Turned up for dinner to find that there were only two of us on this particular booking, but not a problem as I got on well with the the other girl and with the leader so happy enough with just 3 of us. Set off the next morning for our first kayaking session but the weather was not good - cold and very windy. Anyway, good to be on the water until the wind got the better of me and I capsized, luckily near the beach so I survived. Decided that was enough for me for the day. However the forecast for the next two days was even more severe winds, and cold, so our leader wisely decided we wouldn't go back out to sea. But actually had a very pleasant time, the three of us touring round the coast and local towns and in the evenings going into Alghero which was a lovely and lively town - luckily I had my hire car. Credit to the leader for making the best of the situation and the three of us had a good final evening over cocktails in the local hotel. Accommodation ok but very cold rooms and I wasn't impressed with the food, but very friendly and helpful staff. So not the best kayaking trip but only because of the weather, and a shame that more people weren't on the trip, but at least I made two new friends.

The entire experience is awesome and cool.

I really love the entire experienced!

Excellent trip, really well organised and thought out. Our guide Clarke was calm, friendly and added so much value to the tour. He even took us wine tasting. The equipment was all good quality and Clarke had spares of everything. We had 1 day where the water was too choppy so we didn't Kayak, which was a shame. But no one's fault! The sea in early April was very cold but still enjoyable as it was very hot and sunny most the time.

Really well thought out trip with Clark. Very much enjoyed. Our group did two days kayaking as the weather on the third day was unsuitable but Clark gave us lots of other options for the third day - we settled on a walk and a wine tasting (v good. Would recommend!) The food was excellent too and very accommodating for my dietary needs (gluten free). All round a great trip and and great group. Thank you!

This was without doubt my favourite holiday to date. I loved every minute off it - the time on the water, exploring caves and cliffs, stopping for lunch every day at a different beach. The accomodation and food was subperb. I'd highly recommend this.

A fabulous holiday! Clark adapted the kayaking days to suit the group and the weather conditions. Sardinia was absolutely beautiful, and it was great to view it from the water. As a fairly inexperienced kayaker I was comfortable with the introduction we were given and the routes we took. Th accomodation was better than expected with delicious food, comfortable rooms and a swimming pool for the warm evenings. I would recommend this trip to anyone thinking about it.

This was the perfect first solo holiday. Gorgeous scenery, beautiful beaches, great food and a fun group dynamic. The paddling was relaxed and enjoyable, while still feeling like you’d achieved something when we hit between 10 - 15km each day. Jan was a great guide and picked some great routes and spots depending on the weather. Highly recommend.

Our trip with Clark and Jamie was great! They were very accommodating, well-equipped and so friendly and helpful! They really wanted to make sure the amount of kayaking was what the group wanted and made sure lunch was inclusive of the groups needs. They were prepared for snorkelling, caves and even a rogue jellyfish sting. Great people, great trip. A highlight was definitely seeing the caves. They made sure everyone in the group was safe and having a good time!
