Your Experience

Spargi, the Jewel of the Maddalena Treasure Trove

Your first tour stop will be at the Island of Spargi, where you’ll visit the Bay of Cala Corsara. Here, a wooden walkway will lead to you the island’s beaches. You may enjoy a swim in the crystalline water or admire the soft golden sand, and lunar-like rock formations. The stop here will last for an hour.

Continuing the tour, you'll see granite rocks carved by the wind over the years, including the Witch's Head rock, the Bulldog dog, and a miniature version of Italy. Then, you’ll travel up to beaches on the Island of Budelli, the most unique one of which is the ‘Pink Beach’. It has famously banned visitors from walking or swimming.

Travel Through the Center of 3 Islands

The motorboat will take you through Porto Della Madonna, where the islands of Budelli, Razolli, and Santa Maria meet. At Santa Maria, the boat will stop for half an hour so that you can swim in its turquoise waters and view the scenic villas that are home to VIPs like Roberto Bengini, a celebrated actor, comedian, scriptwriter, and director.

Revel in a Historical Experience

Touch down on the Island of Capera and get some free time to explore some popular attractions which you can visit at your own cost are the ‘Memorial Giuseppe Garibaldi Capera’, also known as the Museum House. Then, the tour will circle back to the commercial port of La Maddalena where you’ll have an hour to marvel at buildings constructed in the 18th century.
