1.La Maddalena Archipelago Full-Day Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,980 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $59Our pick

Spend 6 to 7 hours aboard a comfortable boat from Palau or La Maddalena, with multilingual guide Claudia explaining the islands in English, Italian, French, and Spanish. Swim at Budelli, relax at Santa Maria and Cala Granara, see Spiaggia Rosa from the water, and browse La Maddalena town before returning.

“I would recommend to everyone, the nature is outstanding. The only minus on this trip was too many people on the boat. You are not comfortable sitting because it’s not enough room for your legs and they tell you where you have to sit so you don’t have many choices.”

There were only 6 of us, I guess being pre-peak season. We made several stops. Our guide took us to caves. He stopped at 3-4 beaches. I loved seeing all the fish in the water, loved jumping off the rock at one of the stops, loved the fish swimming around me. I will remember this day for a long time and will be e daydreaming of swimming in Sardinian waters. I will definitely be back to do this again!”
