The La Maddalena Archipelago in Sardinia features clear waters and unique natural sites. This boat tour aboard the Virginia lasts about 7 to 8 hours and offers several stops near the shore without beach landings. The tour includes access to exclusive spots like Cala dell’Amore on Spargi Island, where passengers can swim or snorkel during a 60-minute stop. The boat’s Standard Deck on the first and second floors provides indoor and outdoor seating with panoramic views of the archipelago. The route includes passing by landmarks such as Roccia dell'Orso, a natural rock formation known as Bear Rock, and Porto Rafael, a small village with rocky surroundings and beaches. Another stop is at Porto della Madonna to visit the Natural Pools for 90 minutes, where guests can swim and relax or optionally take a mini boat tour to explore hidden areas accessible only by small vessels. The tour also passes close to Spiaggia Rosa on Budelli Island for a panoramic view, as access to the beach itself is prohibited. The final stop is in La Maddalena town, where there is a one-hour break to walk through the historic center and learn about the island’s connection to the sea. The full-day excursion includes freshwater showers, multilingual explanations via an app, and park tax. Optional extras available on board include a mini tour of Caprera by tender and an inflatable boat trip around the Natural Pools. Earphones for the app’s route commentary are not included.
