Highlights
  • Isola di Spargi - Our tour will start with a wonderful beach stop at Spargi island
    The granitic island of Spargi is the largest among the archipelago’s four minor ones. Known for its oriental side beaches, it has a surface of 4,20 Km2 and is the third-largest by size throughout the whole territory. The entire area rises up to 153 meters above sea level.
    Spargi island is the favorite destination of many rare species of birds and Mediterranean fishes. This island is characterized by the majesty of its granite rocks and the presence of ancient shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea, such as the remains of a Roman ship, kept now in the naval museum on the Island of La Maddalena. Explore this pristine island and enjoy a unique tour of Spargi Island with untouched beach excursions in Sardinia.
    A famous rock that you can see in Spargi is the “Testa Della Strega” (Witch Head), a rock sculpted by wind and water whose profile seems to resemble a witch. Another famous rock, “Cane Bulldog”, has the shape of a Bulldog

  • Isola di Santa Maria - SANTA MARIA ISLAND: FAMOUS FOR ITS FINE SAND

The island of Santa Maria has a surface area of 2 square kilometers and a perimeter of about 10 kilometers. The altitude metric profile is lower than all the other islands of the Archipelago. It is separated from the Island of Razzoli by a very small canal, on the Eastside, named Passo degli Asinelli (Donkey’s Pass).
On the Northern side, there is an even smaller canal, named Passo dello Strangolato (Strangled Pass).
Usually considered to belong to Santa Maria island territory, it is nonetheless the most northern point of the Sardinia mainland. On the south side is Santa Maria Bay, where there is a beautiful fine white sand beach that is undoubtedly the longest of all the archipelago.
Close to the beach, lies the ruins of the Benedictine monastery. Built by monks, the first settlers in the archipelago during the thirteenth century, visitors can follow a beautiful scenic path to the lighthouse at Punta Filetto.

  • Budelli arcipelago Maddalena - After the stop at the beach and the break for lunch in front of the island of Spargi, we will sail Budelli Island: among the most famous in the Mediterranean for its beautiful pink beach.
    This is certainly one of the most famous islands in the archipelago because of the Spiaggia Rosa, renowned for the enchanting pink color of its sand. Sadly, this exceptional sandy shore has been altered by the countless tourists who, despite severe enjoinments, have gathered and taken away the sand as a souvenir over the years.
    The island of Budelli is considered the most beautiful in all of the Mediterranean Sea and is a symbol of the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. Highlighting it as one of the most significant environmental sites, La Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach),situated on its southern side, is a monument of environmental protection.The sand’s colour is due to the fragments of a microorganism called Miniacina Miniacea, and you can see this magical site up close on a pink beach Sardinia tour

  • Spiaggia Rosa - the Island of Budelli is known throughout the world for being one of the most beautiful islands in the whole Mediterranean and it is very much appreciated abroad for its romantic Pink Beach. Precisely, in order to keep its natural heritage intact, this is constantly subjected to a strong protection regime, essentially under the care of the body that is responsible for supervising and protecting the surrounding environment and its extremely precious rarefied natural beauties, the Natural Park of the Archipelago of La Maddalena.
    Its very particular name is given by the characteristic color of the pink sand of the beach in Cala di Roto. The very rare event occurs when the fragments of Miniacina miniacea, a particular foraminifera - a pink micro-organism - are dispersed in the seabed upon the death of the small organisms that inhabited the shells formed by this micro-organism.

  • La Maddalena - LA MADDALENA ISLAND BY BOAT - VISIT TO THE CITY BETWEEN HISTORICAL SITES AND SHOP
    Arriving in La Maddalena City by boat, you can see, quietly overlooking the promenade, the colorful eighteenth century buildings and, on top of the hill, the fort of the Old Guard that dominates the landscape with ancient defenses of the island. Everything in town recalls the strategic importance in past centuries, covering this Mediterranean Island with historical landmarks.
    Captain Nelson, the British hero who defeated Napoleon’s fleet on the island between 1803 and 1805, gave as a gift to the citizens the candlesticks and the crucifix, preserved in the diocesan museum inside the Parish Church of St. Maria Maddalena. Shopping is very pleasant in the streets of the old town, the culture is so rich in alleys, called the “Carrugi”, which in summer, turn into exhibition halls in the open air.

  • Santo Stefano - During the return to the port of Palau, we can admire the island of Santo Stefano, NATO base and home to an exclusive tourist village.

  • Roccia dell’Orso - While sailing for the return to the port of Palau, we will see the famous Bear Rock on the shores of Palau.

Great tour - This boat tour is an easy and convenient way to visit several beautiful beaches in one day. The boat was not too crowded (beginning of June), food and drinks were available to buy onboard, we left all stops on time and passengers were well informed what time we will leave from each of those stops. We would have preferred to visit La Maddalena first before all the swimming (La Maddalena visit was the last one at the end of the tour). But we enjoyed this day anyways :)

Lovely and relaxing tour - This was a very relaxing way to spend a day in Northern Sardinia and a great way to see the local islands, which look like what you imagine Sardinia looks like before arriving. Beautiful crystal clear water. All of the stops on the tour provided plenty of time to explore and relax. The boat wasn’t over crowded which was nice and we enjoyed their mortadella sandwiches for lunch (very reasonably priced). Definitely bring your swim gear, sun screen, towels and hat!

Impossible to find faults: spectacular! - Today we took part in the tour of the islands of the Maddalena Archipelago and what can I say, we were really satisfied! The boat has clean and comfortable environments, not to mention the crew who are incredibly kind. We really appreciated two things: 1. the possibility of having lunch on board the ship with a choice of hot or cold dishes. We recommend having lunch on board because it's cheap, the food is really good and the portions are generous! 2. the guide's explanations, short, interesting and not boring If we could give more points to evaluate the review, we would gladly add some because it is a tour that deserves a lot and if we were to return next year, we would gladly do it again!

Amazing Boat Tour! - La Maddalena in Sardinia! ️Looking to visit La Maddalena? I highly suggest this boat tour! ️ La Maddalena Archipelago Comfort Boat Tour! I spent what seemed like hours comparing boat tours and trying to find the best value for the money, here is what I found: 1. This boat seats 250 but only takes 80 passengers at a time! This made a huge difference as we had seats wherever we wanted, and were able to move around freely. It honestly felt as we were on a VIP tour. We ran into some other boats at some of the stops and saw the huge lines of people waiting to get off their boats. We were so happy we chose this tour, where we didn’t have to shove past groups of people to get to land. 2. The food on board is delicious! We had Bianco pasta and a Frito Mixto fried seafood platter and a delicious bottle of wine! It was great and very affordable. 3. The crew is very nice and friendly and speak a few different languages. The tour guide explained our stops in 4 different languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish) and was helpful with any questions we had! 4. It is a great value for a full day of beautiful sightseeing. You will have time to spend exploring at most of the stops and this is a full day event. Well worth the cost!
