Details
Our day boat trip is the best option to explore the La Maddalena Archipelago in all its shapes and colours. Involve your friends and family in what will be an experience you can keep jealously in your memories, as well as in your camera!
You can choose to depart from Palau or La Maddalena when booking, depending on where is most convenient for you. Our first stop will be at Cala Granara, located on the southern coast of Spargi Island and only accessible by sea. You will have 2 hours to dive into its crystal-clear waters and explore the unspoilt nature of the area. If you wish, you can use the restaurant service on board to buy the typical lunch that will be served during the stop. We will then head towards the beautiful Santa Maria Island, where we will make astop of about 1.5 hours at Cala Santa Maria, with its water surface of a thousand shades.
We will continue our trip to the Island of Caprera, and on the way you will be able to take pictures of its characteristic islets overhanging the sea, embellished with Mediterranean maquis. We will then reach Cala Coticcio, a true paradisiacal inlet of the archipelago, whose waters are sheltered from the westerly wind by the characteristic natural conformation of the bay, made up of high ground and steep cliffs. The stop here will last about 30 minutes, and you can dive into the emerald waters of La Maddalena one last time before we return to our starting points.Highlights

A very nice tour; the boat wasn't overcrowded. Prices on board for coffee, etc., were absolutely fine.

Disappointing because we didn't stick to the plan.
We made unscheduled stops, far from the beach, and skipped the one we'd booked to visit.
