Our Tours
Green Tour - Red Tour - Yellow Tour
Green Tour n.1: Spargi - Budelli - Santa Maria
SPARGI ISLAND – Our first stop will be at Spargi Island, where you can swim, snorkel, or go ashore on the beach. We will visit: Cala Corsara, Cala Soraya, Cala Conneri (also known as Cala dell’Amore), and Cala Granara.
BUDELLI ISLAND – We will then continue to Budelli Island, famous for its Pink Beach, which can only be admired from the sea, as landing and swimming are prohibited. It is still absolutely stunning and well worth seeing. We will also visit: Spiaggia del Cavaliere, the Natural Pools (Piscine Naturali), Porto della Madonna, Passo del Topo, and Passo degli Asinelli.
SANTA MARIA ISLAND – The third stop will be in the Bay of Santa Maria, the pearl of the far north of Sardinia, known for its very fine sand and crystal-clear sea.
RED TOUR n.2: La Maddalena – Caprera - Santo Stefano
LA MADDALENA ISLAND – We will visit one or more beaches of La Maddalena, according to your preference, including: Spiaggia Testa del Polpo, Cala dello Spalmatore, Spiaggia dei Monti dell’Arena, and Cala Francese.
CAPRERA ISLAND – We will then continue to Cala Coticcio (also known as Tahiti), where, according to the park regulations, the beach can only be reached by swimming. This is one of the most beautiful spots for snorkeling. You will be able to swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by curious schools of silver fish.
Other stops will be made in different locations, chosen according to your preferences and the weather conditions. We may stop at the romantic Cala Brigantina, the long and bright Cala Portese, or the crystal-clear Cala Napoletana. Among these well-known beaches there are also countless small bays and inlets, often without a name, full of charm and surrounded by wild and powerful nature.
SANTO STEFANO ISLAND – Our tour will end with a visit to Santo Stefano Island. The highlight of the island is Baia del Pesce, accompanied by other hidden corners of paradise that will be suggested to complete this unforgettable day.
YELLOW Tour n.3: RAZZOLI - LAVEZZI
contribution for the distance of 25 € per person
RAZZOLI ISLAND – We will sail towards Razzoli, located near the border with Corsica. Among the 60 islands and islets of the archipelago, it is the one with the wildest character. The rocks shaped by the sea and wind look like true natural sculptures. Some sheltered coves are real gems, including Cala Cappello, Cala Noce, Cala Lunga, and Cala Bove Marino. The sea here ranges from light blue to deep blue, with seabeds rich in marine flora and fauna, making it perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts.
LAVEZZI ISLAND – The second stop will be the spectacular Lavezzi Island, characterized by small crystal-clear lagoons surrounded by huge granite boulders with unusual, almost lunar shapes. Lavezzi is considered one of the best places for snorkeling. Here you will have the opportunity to swim among hundreds of curious fish that are not afraid of humans, thanks to the fact that this is a protected natural reserve where fishing has been prohibited since 1972.
Tour blu n.4: Mortorio - Soffi
Le isole di Mortorio e Soffi sono due gioielli incastonati nel mare da cartolina della Gallura. Fanno parte del Parco Nazionale della Maddalena e sono caratterizzate dai colori unici dell'acqua, dalle evoluzioni del granito e dal verde scuro della macchia mediterranea.
