Full description

Explore the beauty of North Sardinia on a full-day boat cruise of the La Maddalena archipelago. Sailing onboard the Lady Luna 2, visit the most beautiful islands of a magnificent natural park, stop to swim on sandy beaches, and more. Depart from the harbor in Palau for the short, 35-minute sail to Budelli. Marvel at the pink sand of Spiaggia Rosa, the dramatic rock formation of Roccia del Coccodrillo, and splash in the sea from Piscine Naturali.

Continue to Santa Maria island and feel the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea. Make a long stop at the beach there to sunbathe and relax. After the stop, take a break for lunch, and if you wish, you can buy typical Sardinian dishes on board or bring your own food.

Arrive next at Spargi island, where the beaches of Cala Corsara or Cala Granara are lapped by emerald waters and protected from the wind to create perfect conditions for sunbathing. End the tour with a stop at La Maddalena island and visit the town of La Maddalena. Wander the colorful streets to find souvenir shops or gaze at the boats in the Cala Gavetta marina.

En route back to Palau, sail past Santo Stefano and Caprera islands for the last look at the high life of the seas.

Beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, nice stops and a relaxing smooth boat tour makes this your ideal gettaway to the Madalena archipellago! A must see in Sardegna! The staff is very friendly, professional, multi lingual and will gladly help with any questions. P. S try their pasta too ;) special thanks to Alex (Sarah/NL)

Good tour, staff were super friendly and accommodating. The time spent at each stop was really well balanced. A helpful tip is to bring your own water on board, they do not supply water for free here and each small bottle is 2 euros, which is a lot more than you'd pay in the store. Over the whole 7 hours I had to purchase 4 bottles!
