Live a day in the Archipelago of La Maddalena, one of the most appreciated experiences in Sardinia. The tour starts with a comfortable transfer from Olbia or the other available locations to the port of Cannigione, from where you will depart by boat to La Maddalena.
The first stop is La Maddalena città, with about an hour of free time to explore the old town. The tour then continues to Spargi and Santa Maria, where there are two stops of about 1 hour each, ideal for swimming, snorkeling or relaxing on beaches with crystal clear sea.
A simple lunch of pasta with tomato sauce is served on board. In the afternoon the boat continues along the Madonna Mantle, the island of Budelli with the Pink Beach (visible only from the sea) and the coasts of Punta Sardegna, Porto Rafael, Palau and Capo d’Orso.
Return is scheduled for late afternoon, with transfer included to pick-up location. A complete and comfortable tour to discover the beauty of the archipelago without worries.

What To Expect
Transfer from Olbia to Cannigione by Minivan . ( 25 km) Boarding in Cannigione to explore the archipelago of La Maddalena.
Parco Nazionale Dell'Arcipelago Di La Maddalena
The whiteness of the beaches, the transparency and the colour of the sea recall Polynesian images, but the intense scent of the Mediterranean scrub and the natural sculptures of pink granite leave no doubt: we are in Sardinia, in the heart of the Mediterranean. The main islands of the park that wind, to the north, in the wide and suggestive stretch of sea between the Straits of Bonifacio and the Costa Smeralda are: La Maddalena, Caprera, S. Stefano, Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli, S. Maria, plus a myriad of islets, including Mortorio, Soffi and Nibani. Large and small islands that together form a true masterpiece of nature: rocks carved by the wind, beaches with white or magically pink sands, coves, blue depths and shallow waters where you can reflect as in a mirror. A submerged world populated by thousands of animal and plant species, vintage shipwrecks and archaeological sites of considerable interest.

4.00Marketing says croissants on the boat which is untrue. Marketing says swim and snorkel. No goggles or snorkels supplied. If we had known we would have taken our own goggles and snorkels with us.
Unforgettable experience

5.00Amazing trip! Great organisation and communication. The team was so nice and professional. They gave us enough time to visit different beaches and enjoy swimming at each stop. The tour and views are breathtaking and definitely worth experiencing. We will definitely come back and do it again, and for sure with the same company. Highly recommend it if you want to spend a whole day on a boat, enjoying nature, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and relaxing while sailing through some of the most beautiful places in Sardinia. Everything was perfectly organised, the atmosphere on board was fantastic, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. One of the highlights of our holiday!

3.00A week to discover the Northeast of the island: the Costa Smeralda, the island of La Maddalena, Monti Nieddu, Olbia, Baronia, etc... Very good welcome and interesting guided tours, but it should be done before Corsica to avoid disappointment (in Corsica, the nature is more lush and the landscapes are varied, with villages and coasts rich in history and typical constructions).
Really good trip, stunning beaches and plenty of time to enjoy everything

5.00Lovely trip and lots of time at the various stops to enjoy the spectacular scenery. Only observation we had was that the guide who picked us up in the bus didn’t speak to the passengers on the way to meet the boat or during the journey back. We felt we could have had a brief explanation about (for example) journey time, how to work the overhead air con or even general chat.
Outrageous added costs for a trip that actually costed 50% of the price we paid

3.00The service was efficient but there was no clarity on the exact journey and what could be expected. Neither was there a breakdown of costs. We were shocked to discover that the actual boat trip cost a 50% of the total cost meaning that a shared 16-seater return bus trip of 18km cost £85 per person! And we had to make several stops to pick up fellow travellers
Beautiful day on the water!

5.00This was a great choice for the Costa Smeralda region (while sans car). The transfer was timely and easy, and the boat trip was beautiful. The last two stops were terrific for a quiet and clear swim.
Excellent!

5.00Had an amazing trip to la madalena, Spargi and santo Maria. It was wonderful to see the beautiful sights from the boat and hear the commentary about the area. You get to get off and visit a lovely town of La Magolena and two beautiful beaches where you can sun bathe swim,walk and explore. Lunch was delicious pasta. Long day of sightseeing and you definitely feel like you get your monies worth. Would highly recommend !
