Program Description
Scattered islands, turquoise waters and wild, untouched coves – the La Maddalena Archipelago is one of the most beautiful areas in Sardinia. It’s a great way to explore several unique spots in one day while enjoying time close to nature.
The trip begins from one of the ports in northern Sardinia – Laconia, Cannigione, Palau or Baja Sardinia. During the cruise, you’ll pass the island of Santo Stefano before reaching La Maddalena, the main island of the archipelago. There will be free time to walk around the town, browse local craft shops or simply enjoy the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere.
The island also has an interesting history. In the town hall, you can see an unexploded cannonball from Napoleon’s expedition. Local museums display sacred art collections and memorabilia connected to Admiral Horatio Nelson, who visited this area.
The next part of the day is spent cruising between the islands of the archipelago. You’ll stop at Spargi and Santa Maria, where there is time for swimming in crystal-clear waters and relaxing on sandy beaches. One of the highlights is Cala Corsara – a picturesque bay known for its wind-shaped rock formations resembling unusual figures.
Along the way, you’ll also see Manto della Madonna – a stretch of sea famous for its intense shades of blue. The route continues along the island of Budelli, known for its pink beach. Due to environmental protection, landing is not allowed, which helps preserve its unique character.
On the way back, you’ll enjoy views of the Sardinian coastline – Punta Sardegna, Porto Raphael, Palau and Capo d’Orso, home to the well-known bear-shaped rock.
Return to the port is planned between 16:30 and 17:00.
The order of visits and the programme may change.
