Overview

Spend a day in the La Maddalena Archipelago, one of the most appreciated experiences in Sardinia. The tour starts with a comfortable transfer from Olbia or other available locations to the port of Cannigione/Palau, from where you will depart by boat to La Maddalena.
The first stop is Maddalena town, with about an hour of free time to explore the historic center. The tour then continues towards Spargi and Santa Maria, where two stops of about 1 hour each are planned, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing on beaches with crystal-clear water.
A simple tomato pasta lunch is served on board. In the afternoon the navigation continues along the Manto della Madonna, 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.
The return is expected in the late afternoon, including transfer to the pick-up location. A complete and comfortable tour to discover the beauties of the archipelago without worries.

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.
