Details
Explore the Maddalena archipelago, a true gem of the Mediterranean! Aboard a modern and comfortable boat offering all the amenities you want, you can spend a day of relaxation, nature and fun. Between dips in the sea, you will visit four islands of the Archipelago.
Starting from Palau, we will head north into the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, sailing between various islets scattered throughout this wonderful archipelago, until we reach the island of Santa Maria, the only inhabited island in the area. We will continue our journey and also stop to show you the protected island of Budelli, so you can admire the world-famous Pink Beach from the boat, formed by the crumbling of millions of pinkish marine animal shells. You will have many opportunities to swim in natural pools, dive from the boat and walk along nature trails.
Not to be missed on our itinerary is the island of Spargi, with its white sandy beaches and turquoise water, such as the renowned Cala Corsara. You will be amazed by the beauty of the wild vegetation, the peculiar shaped rocks and the small, beautiful bays on the island! You will also be able to buy an excellent meal with drinks directly on board, but you can also bring your own food and drinks. We will then continue our trip to La Maddalena, where we will make a stop during which you can take a romantic stroll through the old town and enjoy a delicious Italian ice cream, before ending the day back at the port of Palau.

It's nothing special; the Pink Beach isn't pink at all like in the advertisement. And it doesn't cost €120.
I was disappointed.
