What to Expect

Kayak or SUP Lessons
Ideal for beginners, these one-hour lessons are designed to build confidence and teach essential paddling skills. You'll start with a land-based introduction where your instructor will go over paddling technique, balance, and water safety. Once you're comfortable, you'll head out into the bay for practical instruction in calm conditions. These sessions are supportive and low-pressure, perfect if you’ve never tried kayaking or paddleboarding before.

Guided Kayak or SUP Excursion
These guided tours are open to anyone with a basic level of fitness and a willingness to paddle. After a short warm-up and skills check, your instructor will lead you along the coastline, stopping at calm bays and scenic spots while sharing local knowledge. Routes vary based on weather and group ability, but typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours and are suitable for adults and older children.

Snorkelling Excursion
For those keen to see the island from under the water as well as on top of it, snorkelling excursions offer a guided experience in safe, clear conditions. You’ll be provided with a snorkel, mask, and fins, and the instructor will lead you to one of the nearby rocky areas with good visibility. These sessions are a mix of swimming, floating, and short explanations of local marine life. You’ll need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim short distances unaided.

SUP Yoga
Combining stand-up paddleboarding with yoga, these one-hour sessions take place in calm water and are led by an experienced SUP yoga instructor. After a gentle paddle to a quiet area, the group will anchor boards and begin a flowing, accessible yoga sequence on the water. Designed for all levels, SUP yoga is a relaxed and playful way to work on balance, flexibility, and breath awareness. A minimum of four people is required per session.

Location

All sessions start from Punta Tegge, a sandy beach with easy access to the water on La Maddalena Island. This calm and scenic launch point is ideal for beginners and excursions alike, with protected bays, rock features, and quiet waters within close reach.

The area is well known for its clear conditions and inviting coastline, making it a great spot for guided sessions that combine instruction with exploration.

Prerequisites

No previous paddling or snorkelling experience is needed. All sessions are designed to be beginner-friendly and led by qualified instructors. You must be able to swim, feel comfortable in open water, and be physically able to take part in the chosen activity.
