The kayak trip was recommended to us by family, and you never really know what to expect, but boy, did we enjoy!!
For starters, Marco was a real gentleman, being very concerned with our comfort, wellbeing and safety from the first second till the very last.
The trip was great, no powerkayak, but exploring the whole of Mistras Lagoon at a slow pace. Marco knew every type of bird we came across, both in English and Italian, and sometimes even the scientific (Latin) name.
He told us all about the different fishing methods which the Cabras fishermen applied throughout history, and even local cultural (barefoot procession) habits passed by.
We really enjoyed it a lot, and would certainly recommend the kayak trip as a nice and completely different Intermezzo inbetween other Sardinian activities.

We enjoyed a wonderful kayak tour through the Mistras Lagoon. Marco showed us the biodiversity of this special ecosystem in an exciting way and patiently answered our questions about the many animals and plants we could see. As a local, Marco also knew a lot about the culinary use or the economic importance of individual species, but also about the challenges of balancing nature conservation and economic use of the lagoon. Furthermore, Marco was able to give us exciting insights into the Sardinian way of life, history and culture. All in all, the excursion was a great enrichment of our holiday, thank you Marco!

We had such a great time kayaking with Marco. It was a very windy day but Marco was very helpful at guiding us around the lagoon and providing us with amazing insight into our surroundings. We had to cut the kayaking short due to the weather, but Marco was very kind and showed us an old fishing island which was really interesting. He went above and beyond and I couldn't recommend ALEA enough.

We had so much fun kayaking while learning about the lagoon and the local ecosystem. Marco was a great guide patiently giving explanations in both Italian and then English. He's also a great photographer capturing us in our kayaks as well as the wildlife. We saw flamingos and various types of birds.
The lagoon was a short drive from the Alea Ricerca & Ambiente office and there's space in the kayaks to store a couple of person items, like a water bottle and sunscreen. You're also lent binoculars to watch the birds from afar.
We were first time kayakers and took to it without any problems. The water was so calm and also very shallow.
Would love to join another tour next time we're in Cabras.

We loved the quiet and peaceful atmosphere on the lake. The best part was seeing the Flamingos and rare birds in the nature. For our 9 years old son and the Teenie-Sisters were the Kayak experience lots of fun. Pur Guide was so helpful, friendly and patient. He spoke very good English and explained a lot about this lovely place and the birds. We saw another, an origin side of Sardegna. Don‘t miss this amazing experience of your lifetime!
