Highlights
  • Spargi - Pause at one of the stunning bays on the island of Spargi, the first stop in the Maddalena Archipelago. Here, you can snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear, turquoise waters, making your way to the island’s beautiful white beaches.
  • Spiaggia Rosa - We’ll capture photos in front of one of the world’s most enchanting and protected beaches: the renowned Pink Beach, a spectacular natural wonder. Part of the Maddalena Geomarine National Park, this beach is of immense naturalistic value and is under special protection, prohibiting walking on the sand or swimming at its shore. Located just north of Spargi, the island is famous for its legendary pink beach. The coral-colored sand, vibrant sea hues, and the granite formations surrounding the cove create a unique global spectacle, a natural monument to be admired in reverent silence.

The Pink Beach of Budelli, immortalized by director Michelangelo Antonioni in a lengthy sequence in the film “Red Desert,” is situated southeast of Budelli Island in the La Maddalena Archipelago. It is named for its distinctive coral pink color.

  • Porto della Madonna - The Port of the Madonna, or Manto della Madonna, is in the northern part of the archipelago, nestled between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli, and Santa Maria. It features a stunning expanse of crystalline water, resembling a natural swimming pool, dotted with small beaches of fine white sand facing a clear, transparent sea. Some coves allow swimming, while others are off-limits to preserve this unique natural wonder.
  • Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago di La Maddalena - Razzoli and Santa Maria

These islands are nearly connected by the Passo degli Asinelli. Razzoli Island, the northernmost, is notable for its majestic cliffs and rock formations reminiscent of Moore’s sculptures. The island boasts a beautiful beach, Cala S. Maria, one of the largest in the archipelago.

Port Madonna

This is the name given to the emerald sea lagoon enclosed between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli, and S. Maria. It is undoubtedly the most evocative spot in the Park and a popular destination for boaters in northeastern Sardinia. In this extraordinary body of water, the Park has designated large areas for snorkeling and sea-watching activities.

The remaining time on the tour will be spent traveling between attractions and enjoying free time.

Well worth the money - Captain Alessio and Valerio fulfilled expectations and more. They took us to great spots, kept us fed with snacks/meals throughout the day (thank you Velario!) and were all around just wanting our groups to have a great time! Wine/prosecco/beer was flowing and even if the water was cold, they took those who didn’t want to swim on a small dinghy to the beaches. I hope to get on their catamaran next time we are here; they are AWESOME!

Perfection - I have done similar tours off multiple Mediterranean islands, and this one took the cake as the absolute best. Fantastic vessel, very competent and relaxed crew, delicious appetizers / pasta / breakfast, abundance drinks of all kinds, and very cool fellow passengers (10 in total) made this trip 5+++++++ trippies! Highly recommend, not to be missed.

Fantastic boat ride from beach to beach! - This trip was just incredible! Such a fun time, and Allessio and Valerio were fantastic captains/hosts. If you are debating about whether or it's worth it to upgrade to the catamaran - don't hesitate, just book it. You will no regret it. The views were fantastic, water was just like the pictures, food was solid and the drinks were cold! Thanks again to Allessio and Valerio as they were knowledgeable and fun.

Amazing Time! - Alessio and his crew member were so amazing! We absolutely had the best time with them. The group was great too. He did an amazing job prioritizing safety, but still making sure we had the best time possible. He’s a local, so he knows all the best spots to take you too that are way less crowded than the popular spots. Can’t thank Alessio and his team enough for such an amazing experience!
