Justin – Malta

the trip was very well organised, the places we visited were beautiful

B
Bruno – Croatia

Very nice boat trip with focus on swimming and fun, not a boring long boat ride along the coast as some trips are :) The day went by so quickly we couldn't believe 8 hours have passed.

Full description

Our journey starts from the port of Palau at 10:30

First stop: this will take place on the beach of Cala Corsara on the island of Spargi, this island is striking for its rounded shape which offers a wild and uncontaminated nature to the eye, on the coast stand out granite cliffs sculpted by the wind, the island of Spargi is the ideal place for sports lovers, in fact, snorkelling is very widespread but it also presents the ideal panorama to linger and enjoy the beauties of nature. once back on the boat after swimming, relaxing or walking on the incredible island of Spargi there will be a stop for lunch.
Lunch is not included in the ticket price.

Second stop: On the Island of Santa Maria, the purity of the light, the crystal clear sea and the white beaches will conquer you.

Third stop: The tour continues with a stop at the Natural Pools. A dip in the Natural Pools of the La Maddalena National Park restores body and spirit and feeds energy reserves. These natural pools are found on the island of Budelli and are truly known and renowned all over the world.
After that we will have a panoramic visit to the famous Rosa beach, one of the most important and well-known symbols of the La Maddalena Archipelago, closed to all since 1993 to protect and give time to the ecosystem that allows you to give this fantastic color to the sand, to recreate yourself.

Fourth stop: Leaving the Piscine Naturali we will sail towards La Maddalena. We will finally land in the characteristic historic center of Cala Gavetta, a settlement chosen by the first inhabitants, the Corsican shepherds, as it is more sheltered from the famous prevailing Maddalenian wind, the "mistral or mistral". This stop is ideal for enjoying the wonders of the ancient island, full of history and wonderful views.

Andreja – SloveniaJuly 21, 2024 – Verified booking
We loved the trip and the beaches. There was also in enough time for bathing. The guide spoke in several languages and showed us a lot of interesting rocks, beaches etc. We had the possibility to buy lunch on board or bring some with us. We started the trip with a delay and that was the only thing that we did not like, since we had to board 1 - 1,5 hour before the start of the trip.
