“This was one of the most beautiful boat tours we’ve ever been on. The beauty was almost surreal. Our guides were so accommodating and friendly. They took us to the most beautiful private beaches with crystal blue waters. All of our kids from the ages of 10-17 said it was their favorite day in our entire two weeks in Italy. When my teenage daughter dropped her iPhone in the water, one of our guides dove down thirty feet and retrieved it for her. And it still worked! Beautiful, unforgettable day! You must do this if you are visiting Sardinia!”
Full-day guided boat tour from Palau through the La Maddalena archipelago with stops at Budelli, Spargi, Spaggia Rosa, and a swim to Santa Maria.
“The boat was packed as you would expect for Ferrogosto national holiday, We stopped at 2-3 places to swim with lots of time. Beaches were busy but beautiful. It was fun seeing all the families enjoying themselves. The crew were great and the host who managed the commentary in 4 languages deserves a special mention. We took our own food so don’t didn’t buy lunch, but the barman made us a nice round of aperol spritzes. The last atop at Maddalena could have been shorter - maybe only 30-45 mins. As it was the last stop in the day. Overall a good way to see the archipelago”
