The most popular water activities include wakeboarding, wakesurfing, water skiing, snorkeling, diving, riding a “banana boat” or large inflatable tubes, yachting, and other sports that require clean and calm water. Parasailing is less common. At any beach, you can rent a boat and enjoy a relaxing ride.
Sea excursions along the coast are also popular in Cagliari, including catamaran trips with stops for swimming in picturesque coves. Underwater enthusiasts can join a diving tour with an instructor, and for those who prefer more active leisure, kayaking and SUP boarding are available—especially around Poetto and Cala Rey beaches.
