Boat cruise
A lot could be improved - the lunch was very poor - a small bowl of lukewarm pasta with tomato sauce was all that was on offer. The prerecorded information blasting out of the loud speakers in 4 languages was also headache inducing! The places visited were very busy and there could have been more time spent in Maddalena town - 90 mins would have been ideal. There also could have been more information about what to do at each stop as nothing was provided other than the departure time.
Island hopping has never been more fun than on this motorboat cruise in La Maddalena Archipelago National Park off northern Sardinia. This full day experience drops anchor at La Maddalena town and off Spargi and Santa Maria, and cruises between the other islands.
Your adventure begins the moment you zoom towards the narrow channel between Caprera and Santo Stefano islands and onto La Maddelana town. 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.
Next up is a swim stop off Santa Maria. You'll then sail through Manto della Madonna – an area famed for its palette of blues – and past the famous Pink Beach of Budelli to Spargi. Drop anchor off this uninhabited island. After a bowl of pasta with tomato sauce on board, there's time for swimming in the boulder-strewn waters of Cala Corsara cove before heading back to port.
