What to expect

Island hopping has never been more fun than on this motorboat cruise in La Maddalena Archipelago National Park off northern Sardinia. This full day experience drops anchor at La Maddalena town and off Spargi and Santa Maria, and cruises between the other islands.

Your adventure begins the moment you zoom towards the narrow channel between Caprera and Santo Stefano islands and onto La Maddelana town. Explore the alleys radiating from the harbour and maybe see the 200-year-old unexploded bomb on display at the town hall or the silver ornaments Horatio Nelson left at Santa Maria church.

Next up is a swim stop off Santa Maria. You'll then sail through Manto della Madonna – an area famed for its palette of blues – and past the famous Pink Beach of Budelli to Spargi. Drop anchor off this uninhabited island. After a bowl of pasta with tomato sauce on board, there's time for swimming in the boulder-strewn waters of Cala Corsara cove before heading back to port.

    The trip was not what we expected. We thought it would be a fun trip with music, food and drink with an opportunity to swim. The boat appeared to be an old ferry which meant you either sat indoors or on a hard bench at the back of the boat. We were despatched at various points, along with other boat trip customers and there were so many people on the beach drop offs that there was literally nowhere to go. Would not recommend this trip.

    The lunch on the boat was very delicious. The staff was very kind. The first island stop was terrible. A small, debris-covered beach, too many people, no point in going there. The second stop was beautiful, we should have spent 3 hours there instead. Unfortunately, once the crowds arrived, it also became awful. I enjoyed the sightseeing in Maddalena, it’s a beautiful town. Another negative point was the number of tickets sold. The boat was far too crowded.

    Er was geen reisleider aanwezig er werd een bandje gedraaid wat door het grote aantal mensen niet te verstaan was .verder er werd er niets verteld met een gids op madelena zelf dus over de plaats zelf wist je uiteindelijk nog niets . Verder te veel boten en mensen tegelijk op de eilanden .massale mensen groepen . Eten was door de bemanning wel zeer goed verzorgd en waren vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Guided tour of Costa Smeralda with Porto Cervo and beach time

San Pantaleo is known for its low-key rustic charm, with narrow streets and stone buildings that give it a traditional and authentic feel. The village square is the heart of San Pantaleo, and it is here that visitors can browse the small shops run by local artisans, selling traditional and unique handicrafts and Sardinian produce.In total contrast, Costa Smeralda is a sleek destination with Porto Cervo at its luxurious heart. Take a guided tour to see its marina packed with millionaire yachts and maybe mingle with the jet set. Soak up all the glamour from one of the pavement-side cafes, or in the designer shops and high-end boutiques.The last stop is Baia Sardinia, a glorious beach where you can enjoy some free time to relax, swim, or take a break in a beach bar. The fine sand invites you to linger, while the beach is bookended by rocky outcrops perfect for snorkelling or rock-pooling. We'll take a scenic route back to base with views over the coast and countryside.

Day trip to Corsica

So near and yet so far apart. Corsica and Sardinia are like two siblings who moved to different countries and are separated not just by the sea but by culture, too. This day trip to the cliff-perched town of Bonifacio in southern Corsica is the ideal way to get to know France's wildest region.
