Full description
They say that the best way to win someone's heart is to grab it by the throat. And here the skipper knows it well!
Set off from Palau for an eight-hour boat tour in the Maddalena Archipelago, between the islands of Santa Maria and Razzoli. Between a dip in the Natural Pools and a SUP paddle, you will be spoiled with a traditional lunch prepared on the spot.
The perfect experience for those seeking the most beautiful sea and excellent Sardinian cuisine!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Palau (SS) . Awaiting us will be the skipper who will accompany us on our excursion!
After a briefing by the skipper on the rules of the ship, we will cast off our moorings towards the Maddalena Archipelago. During navigation, the skipper will tell us anecdotes and historical facts about the places we will see from the sea, including the ancient military fortifications of La Maddalena that guard the coastline.
We will make four to six swimming stops of about 30 minutes, choosing the most sheltered coves depending on the wind. We will first reach the island of Spargi, stopping near Cala Soraya or Cala Corsara. Here we can dive directly from the boat, swim to shore or use the SUP and snorkelling equipment available on board to explore the seabed.
We will then continue to the Piscine Naturali di Budelli, where we will stop for about 2 hours between Razzoli and Santa Maria. If weather conditions permit, we will go as far as Cala Lunga in Razzoli, sailing in places where larger boats cannot access. We will also make another swimming stop at Cala Santa Maria for an unforgettable swim.
The highlight will be lunch on board, carefully prepared by the captain and served during the break at the Piscine Naturali. We will enjoy a typical hors d'oeuvre with cold meats and cheeses, followed by a fish dish and a local meat dish. The meal will be accompanied by wine, water, soft drinks and coffee. To end on a sweet note, we will enjoy typical Sardinian sweets or fresh fruit during the afternoon snack.
The last stop of our day will usually be near the island of Santo Stefano, perfect for a dip before turning back. We will finally return to the starting point.
The activity will last a total of 8 hours.
