Details
Welcome aboard our elegant sailing boat! We will take you on an unforgettable trip to the archipelago of La Maddalena, where you can admire the best places that this paradise has to offer during our visit to the islands of Santa Maria, Budelli and Spargi.
Starting from the port of Palau or La Maddalena, we will head towards the island of Budelli. After admiring the famous Spiaggia Rosa from the boat, we will enter the bay of Budelli to stop on a beach for 1 hour and 15 minutes circa, where you can take a swim and refresh in the crystal-clear waters. We will then continue to the island of Santa Maria, where we will stop for a 20-minute swim break from the boat.
Finally, we will make a last stop of an hour and a half in the beautiful Cala Granara of the island of Spargi, so you can enjoy the turquoise sea, the white sand beaches and the spectacle of the rocks shaped by the sea and the wind. At the end of the day, we will take you back to the port of La Maddalena and to that of Palau.
