Full description

Embark on an adventure to discover the stunning coastline and outlying islands of Sardinia on a boat. Cruise to the islands of Spargi, La Maddalena, and Santa Maria, and enjoy their pristine beaches, waters, and nature.

Check-in between 9 AM and 10:15 AM, leave Palau at 10:30 AM, and cruise towards the wonderful island of Spargi. When the boat arrives, take your beach bags straight onto the white sandy beaches of Cala Corsara, and choose to sunbathe, snorkel, or explore some of the cove's historical features. Leave the island of Spargi and go along the coast towards the island of Budelli for a photographic stop at the famous Pink Beach "Spiaggia Rosa". Enter the natural swimming pool of Porto Della Madonna for photos, where the emerald color of the water will take your breath away. Head on to the island of Santa Maria for our next beach stop, once again you can easily get off the boat with your things to sunbathe, have a swim or go on a lovely walk to the old lighthouse on the island. The last stop varies — on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after Santa Maria, the Island of Caprera will be visited for a fantastic swimming stop in the natural aquarium at Cala Coticcio (Tahiti). On Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, the final stop after Santa Maria is in the charming historical center of the mother island, La Maddalena, for shopping and exploring. Arrive back in Palau at around 5-5:30 PM.

The trip was very pleasent, every stop was worth and with a very good pace. There was only one bad poinz, the waiting time for departure was too long. The Tour description says boarding at 9:45, when we arrive, the guide mentioned, we should onboard la test at 10:00 and at the end we left Palau Harbor at 10:30

Exciting day full of professionalism from the captain and all his staff. Excellent vocal accompaniment that illustrated landscapes and historicity of places. Arrived in certain places our eyes have opened before heavenly realities that seen on TV or in photos do not have the same value. A tour to be redone to still relive the paradise here on earth ... indeed there at sea

The Tour was great, very friendly staff, food was rather poor and passengers were highly obnoxious!!!! They kept smoking the entire trip which ruined the experience on the boat. Plus the diesel fumes from the boat were very powerful which made breathing a disaster. Luckily we got enough time on the islands to escape all the morons that had to smoke literally every 2 minutes which was the most disgusting part of the trip. Overall I would recommend it but bring an oxygen mask if you value fresh air!!!!
