Overview

We will accompany you to a unique place
Budelli, Spargi and the other islands of the La Maddalena archipelago.

The archipelago of La Maddalena enchants with its intense colours, breathtaking transparencies and unspoilt nature, and numerous white coves hidden in a crystal-clear turquoise sea.
We have been working with passion in the sector since 1995 and are known for the superlative bathing stop at the Piscine di Budelli - Porto della Madonna and the stop at La Maddalena; but the archipelago is full of surprises and enchanting places.
The itinerary is among the most beautiful and complete, with four more or less long stops that will allow you to swim on the beaches, sunbathe in relaxation and admire the unspoilt nature of these islands.
We are well aware that you would need more time and perhaps more privacy to visit these places, but we have been working for years with passion and commitment, trying to keep our prices honest and within everyone's reach, with the aim of delighting you with this taste of paradise!

Spiaggia Rosa (Pass By)

The Pink Beach is so called because of the colour of its sand. The splendid colouring is due to a pink micro-organism that infests the posidonia meadows and lives inside the shells. When it dies, the shells are washed ashore, being broken up by the action of the water. Anchoring and irregular sea agitation have caused the posidonia to recede and changed the sand composition. Since 1998, the introduction of regulations to fully protect the beach, closed to landing (also to avoid new sand looting) bathing and boat anchoring, have allowed it to slightly regain its colouring. We will take a short break from the boat, keeping a distance from the buoys that mark it off.

Spargi

The island of Spargi... is one of the last corners of paradise on earth. Enchantingly beautiful and wild, with its coastline sculpted by the force of the mistral wind and enchanting coves with fine sand, it is a dream for our tourists and an oasis for wildlife. We will continue with a panoramic sail around the coast of Spargi Island: Cala Connari, Cala dell'amore, Cala Corsara and Cala Soraya. We will then reach the beautiful inlet of Cala Granara and afterwards, while sailing, we will admire the famous rocks of Testa della Strega, the Bulldog Dog and Italy in miniature. Here we will make our third stop on the beach and you will have plenty of time to swim and photograph the beauty of the bay. For hikers and walkers, Spargi is unique with its beautiful nature trails and military forts.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on 4-stop boat excursion to La Maddalena Archipelago?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
