  • Swim stop at the beach and lunch on board off Spargi
What to expect

Like rubies scattered across dazzling seas, the islands of La Maddalena are one of Sardinia's best-loved treasures. This cruise focuses on the archipelago's southern isles, with stops in la Maddalena and Spargi islands, and a few hours cruising by the pink granite coastlines of Santo Stefano and Caprera.

Casting off from Cannigione, we'll glide towards the two easternmost islands, Caprera and Santo Stefano. With rugged shorelines washed by fluorescent turquoise waters, they're to die for. From here, it's onto La Maddelana town on the main island. 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.

In the afternoon, we'll float over to Spargi. Drop anchor off this uninhabited island and savour lunch on board. Enjoy swimming from the beach or roam around one of the gorse-covered island's nature trails.

    Too long traveling. The stops at the two other islands are too long with no facilities. The stop at La Maddalena could have been longer.

    The day would have been better if there was more time in La Maddalena and one less beach trip. Two beach trips was too many however a guided tour around the islands was nice.

    Would have liked to have spent more time in some of the places visited but knew in advance that this trip had a full itinerary. Food on board the boat was excellent despite some of the negative reviews! If we had one complaint, maybe too many people packed onto the boat? We assumed the boat was dedicated for Tui clients only so were surprised to see so many other tour companies joining. However, great value for money, lots of fun and we returned home to the hotel in good time for dinner.

    It's a little over crowded,so many boat trips takes away the natural beauty. Couldn't buy a drink on board as they wouldn't take a 50euro note .

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.
