What we will do
The rendezvous is 30 minutes before 10.30 a.m. at the meeting point in Palau (SS), where the motorboat with crew and captain will be waiting for us. Once all participants have gathered, we will be ready to set sail on our excursion.
We will stop in the harbour at La Maddalena for about 15 minutes, after which we will head forSpargi Island to visit the beautiful Cala Granara, which can only be reached by sea. Here we will stop for about two hours. For those who wish, lunch will be served on board at 13:00 (not included); alternatively, you can bring your own packed lunch from home.
We will then depart in the direction of the Pink Beach, Cala Santa Maria and Porto Madonna to take incredible souvenir photos of this experience. It will then be the turn of theIsland of Caprera and the beautiful Cala Garibaldi, where we will stop for another swim break of about an hour.
Finally, we will reach Cala Coticcio: while sailing, we will be able to admire from the boat the islets Paduleddi and Corcelli, a small island with a single cove called Cala Ponente.
In Cala Coticcio we will also make a final swim stop of about 30 minutes, which will give us the opportunity to dive off the boat and swim in the blue-green sea, in the company of the numerous fish that populate its waters.
The return to Palau is scheduled for around 18:00 hours.
