About this experience

Get on board for this sailing experience in the Gulf of Angels, the beautiful coast of Cagliari in the south of Sardinia.

During the excursion, you will learn the basic principles of sailing, how it works, and the different maneuvers. You will actively experience the excursion while admiring breathtaking landscapes. If you're lucky, you'll also see the dolphins darts on the water!

Cala Fighera is part of a delightful and evocative short stretch of Cagliari's coastline dominated by the Capo Sant'Elia promontory. Beneath this huge rock form small pebbly beaches, set between fascinating limestone walls, in which the " faraglioni " stand out, giant boulders eroded by weathering into particular shapes and which give the coves their name.
