Boat Trip around La Maddalena Archipelago

Turquoise waters, white beaches and countless wild islets: if there is one place you just can't miss during your stay in Sardinia, it's La Maddalena Archipelago. National park since 1994, this area is extremely protected in order to preserve its beauty and rich ecosystem. With our boat trip around La Maddalena Archipelago, you will be able to fully appreciate everything this corner of paradise has to offer.

You can choose to board our boat from Cannigione, Baja Sardinia or La Maddalena, and the itinerary will be slightly different depending on your starting point. The first stop of our tour will be the only settlement on the archipelago: La Maddalena. You will have an hour to wander around the narrow streets of the old town and visit the typical craft shops or grab a bite to eat. The captain will then take you to the island of Spargi, a rugged, granite island with many white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Our boat will stop there, so you can go to the shore and enjoy an hour and a half of snorkeling or relaxing on the beach.

We will then resume cruising and pass by the famous pink beach of Budelli, which has been closed for years for protection reasons, and continue to Porto della Madonna. This area enclosed between three islands is famous for the shades of blue and the clarity of the water, which you can enjoy during our stop. Finally, we will visit Santa Maria, the closest island of the archipelago to Corsica and also the last one on our itinerary. Depending on the wind and the currents, we will either stop at the beach or have a short break to dive from the boat, and then we will take you back to the port from where you left in the morning.
