If you’re looking to add some adrenaline to your Sardinian holiday, this wakeboarding and tubing experience in the Gulf of Angels might just be what you need. We haven’t personally tried it ourselves, but based on the glowing reviews and detailed descriptions, it seems like a fun, well-organized adventure suitable for a wide range of travelers. Whether you’re a complete beginner or somewhat experienced, this tour packs a punch with its friendly guides, flexible options, and gorgeous setting.
Two things we really appreciate about this experience are the personalized instruction—which means you’ll get guidance tailored to your skill level—and the small group size, capped at six people, ensuring everyone gets attention and safety is prioritized. On the flip side, a potential consideration is that, since it’s only an hour long, it’s a quick burst of fun rather than a full-day adventure. Still, it’s a great pick for those wanting a taste of water sports without a big time commitment. It’s ideal for active travelers, water lovers, or anyone eager to try wakeboarding in a stunning setting.
If you’re someone who loves the idea of playing on the water, trying out new sports, or just soaking up Sardinia’s beautiful coastline with some fun activities, this tour could be a perfect fit. It’s especially appealing if you value safety, personalized guidance, and a relaxed environment. Just keep in mind the age and health restrictions—this isn’t suitable for pregnant women, non-swimmers, or those with certain medical conditions.

An Introduction to Wakeboarding and Tubing in Sardinia
This tour offers an exciting chance to get your adrenaline pumping amidst the stunning scenery of Sardinia’s Gulf of Angels. For those unfamiliar, wakeboarding involves riding a board while being pulled over the water, offering a feeling similar to snowboarding but on water. Tubing, on the other hand, involves riding a large inflatable (donut or carpet) that gets whipped around for some laughs and thrills.
What makes this experience stand out is the focus on personalized instruction. Before you hit the water, there’s a quick lesson on the dock, which is perfect if you’re new to wakeboarding or tubing. The guides are described as “friendly, laid-back, and capable,” which immediately puts you at ease—important for beginners or nervous watersports enthusiasts.
Meeting Points and Logistics
You’ll meet either at Porticciolo Turistico di Marina Piccola or Molo Sanità in Cagliari’s Harbour. The meeting point is always marked by a flag, and the exact location is provided with coordinates—39.2044, 9.1217—so finding your way isn’t a hassle. The tour’s flexible nature means they’ll confirm the precise meeting point a few days beforehand depending on the number of participants.
What’s Included and What to Bring
Participants are encouraged to come prepared with swimwear, a towel, water, beachwear, and a charged smartphone (for photos, of course). It’s also recommended to bring a change of clothes and a hair tie if needed. The activity includes all equipment—big boards for beginners, optional high-performance boards for more experienced riders, and safety gear.
