Boat tour to the La Maddalena Archipelago with swimming stop at Caprera Island

What to Expect

Discover the La Maddalena Archipelago and its islands with our boat trip from Palau. The journey begins with departure from the port of Palau or directly from La Maddalena, where you will board the motor vessel Sea Star. Our first destination is the charming island of Spargi. Here we will stop at the beautiful Cala Corsara beach. This beach is renowned for its white sand and crystal-clear waters, making it an ideal place for a refreshing swim or a peaceful walk.

Next, we will continue our navigation northward and make a brief photographic stop at the famous Pink Beach of Budelli. Although landing is not allowed, from the boat, you will have a fantastic view and the opportunity to capture this unique spectacle. We will then enter the enchanting natural pools of Porto della Madonna, known for their bright turquoise waters. Our journey will then take us to the northeastern point of the archipelago, where we will stop at Cala Santa Maria beach on Santa Maria Island. This stop offers the opportunity to relax on an unspoiled beach surrounded by pristine nature.

Finally, we will navigate along the northern coast of La Maddalena, towards Caprera Island. Our last stop is at Cala Coticcio, also known as “Tahiti” for its clear waters full of fish, where we will make a sea stop. We will then sail along the western coast of Caprera Island to return to the port of Palau. This tour is ideal for everyone, offering a perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. The vessel can accommodate up to 120 passengers and is equipped with all the necessary comforts, with seats and tables and areas of sun and shade with panoramic views. Onboard there will be a tour guide who will provide fascinating information about the islands, and you will have access to a bar and restaurant service.
