6 reviews

Discover the most beautiful islands of Sardinia with this full-day excursion to the Maddalena Archipelago from Olbia.

You'll meet us for departure in Olbia and drive to the port of Cannigione (1-hour drive) where you will board the motorboat. You will pass by the islands of Caprera and Santo Stefano before reaching the island of Maddalena where you will stop for around one hour. You can use the free time to go shopping or visit the historic center, the Palazzo Comunale, the Naval Museum, and the Museum Diocesan of Sacred Art.

Back on the boat, you will continue towards the most beautiful islands of the Maddalena archipelago, the Spargi, and Santa Maria islands. You'll have one hour to take a swim in the magnificent crystal clear waters, go snorkelling or relax on the beach. After lunch (tomato pasta served on board), you'll enjoy the scenic route past the Manto della Madonna, followed by the island of Budelli, famous for its unique pink beach. On the way back, you will travel past Punta Sardegna, Porto Raphael, Palau, and Capo d'Orso. You'll be back to Cannigione around 5.00 pm/5.30 pm. From here, you will take the minivan to return to the departure point in Olbia. (6.00 pm/6:30 pm)

    A fantastic trip from start to finish, everything we could have hoped and more! Staff all amazing, lovely clean boat and just the right balance of time to visit the town and two swim stops plus lots of insights and commentary during the tour. 10 out of 10, you won’t regret it!

    Der Ausflug war sehr schöne und ich würde Ihnen auf jeden Fall wieder machen. Wenn der Termin nicht verschoben worden wäre, hätte ich die Buchungsbestätigung einen Tag zu spät erhalten. Vielleicht hat dies aber auch mit der Verschiebung zu tun gehabt. Von Mitreisenden habe ich dann erfahren, das man die Tour auch für 90 Euro incl. Getränke erhalten konnte. Es war zwar von Olbia eine Abholung möglich, aber ich musste trotzdem mit dem Auto fahren, daher finde ich den Preisunterschied nicht gerechtfertigt. Was ist ganz schlecht finde, die TUI App bzw. der Chat, hier bekommt man keine Vernünftige Antwort und kann auch nicht richtig nachfragen. Ein Ansprechpartner Vorort ist hier doch ein großer Vorteil. Meiner Meinung nach wird hier am falschen Punkt gespart.
