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 DA thousands of animal and plant species, vintage shipwrecks and archaeological sites of considerable interest.
The boat has a toilet on board (toilets available throughout the day)
Lunch included (Pasta with tomato sauce)

The views are outstanding. From pick up to drop off, 20 hours. The gluten free pasta offered was disgusting. The pasta the rest of us ate wasn't much better. It is Italy, I expected better

Lovely day trip with the bonus of the Olbia pickup! The staff were wonderful and the commentary on board was very informative. Lunch provided was great and the various swim spots were lovely / unfortunately though, very crowded but that goes with high season

A great day out on the water. Loved the 2 spots we stopped for a swim and the village of La Madellana. Pasta lunch was a nice touch. Captain gave information along the way. Really enjoyable day.

Well organised tour from start to finish. Cost Smeralda is a must see. Everything ran smoothly, the weather was fantastic and the views just incredible. The tour is pretty relaxed with few stops so you can enjoy La Maddalena and some of the islands/beaches around the area with no rush and no stress. And the water! It really feels like Caribbean. The colour of the water, the shades of the blue and emerald, it really does area’s name justice. It takes full day but it’s designed for everyone, including the elderly, to enjoy. There’s even small lunch on the boat by a beautiful beach. I recommend it 100%
