  We had a great time during the boat tour around La Maddalena. the boat was easy to find and we had the option to sit upstairs or downstairs. The boat is large and can probably seat over 100 people. There is a bar on board as well as a lunch service, but you can also bring your own lunch. We started off at Palau and made a stop at Maddalena to pick up additional guests. Then we made a quick 15 min swim stop in the middle of the sea followed by 2 beach visits and an hour-long stop on Maddalena island. In-between we had a lunch break on the boat and also viewed a few beaches from afar. Overall an interesting experience.

  2. From Palau: La Maddalena Full-Day Archipelago Catamaran Tour

  The tour departs from Palau harbor in the morning where you board your boat for the day and set sail onto the crystal clear waters of Sardinia. Admire the breathtaking panoramic views of the island as you travel along the coast, watching out for Porto Raphael and its famous villas along the way. Pass by the beautiful Punta Sardinia lighthouse before arriving at the first stop of the day, the island of Spargi. As the boat pulls into the bay of the island, marvel at your tranquil and uninhabited surroundings, unlike any other place on Earth. Enjoy some time to swim in the crystal clear waters at Cala Soraya, named by Princess Soraya in the 60s, or visit the bay just next to it, Cala Corsara. After your swim, regain some energy with a refreshing drink. Later, the captain will decide the next island to visit, dependent on the weather and the tide. Arrive at either Razzoli, Santa Maria, o...

  The tour started with the organizer telling us that we we paid to rent the boat and not for an organized tour, so we had to “vote a skipper and a group leader following their recommendation” - clearly a scam to avoid any responsibility in case anything happened and not what we expected for this price. Anyway after this bad start the tour was actually very nice, we saw some astonishing places and the 2 guides were very friendly. I’d recommend the tour and the guys but definitely not the agency organizing the tour.
