La Maddalena Archipelago Catamaran Tour 3 IslandsA full-day catamaran tour from Santa Teresa di Gallura sails through La Maddalena Archipelago with stops at Spargi, Budelli and Razzoli islands for swimming and snorkeling. The Lagoon 400 carries a maximum of 12 passengers and includes a fresh seafood lunch prepared on board, local aperitif, wine and beer. A live guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian, and the itinerary may shift based on weather and sea conditions.Is it for me?The guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian, so book the language that matches your group. The fixed three-island route and on-board meal mean the day holds together even if weather shifts which island comes first—you get all three stops and lunch no matter what the sea decides.
La Maddalena Archipelago: Private Boat Tour & Snorkeling, Max 6 GuestsYou board a six-person boat with snorkeling gear and a SUP board already loaded, then spend the day anchored at three islands — Spargi, Budelli and Santa Maria — swimming and snorkeling in coves the bigger tours can't reach. The captain adjusts stops based on wind and conditions, and wine, beer and snacks are included throughout. You're back by early afternoon, having skipped the crowds and the logistics of renting gear or finding lunch.Is it for me?Book this if you want to snorkel and swim in La Maddalena without fighting crowds or renting gear separately — the small group size and included equipment mean the captain can take you to quieter coves and the day stays flexible instead of locked to a schedule.
La Maddalena Archipelago Catamaran Tour: Four IslandsA catamaran tour departing from Palau visits four islands in the La Maddalena Archipelago over eight hours, with stops at Spargi, Spiaggia Rosa di Budelli, the Mantle of the Madonna, and Santa Maria. The 12-metre Lagoon 38 catamaran carries a small group; lunch, snacks, water and snorkeling masks are included. You can board from either Palau or Maddalena, and a live guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to see the archipelago's most famous stops — Spiaggia Rosa and the Mantle of the Madonna — without arranging a boat yourself, and if a small catamaran with lunch included suits your day better than a larger group tour.
Sardinia Sailing: Tavolara & Molara with Lunch & SnorkelingYou board at San Teodoro port at 9:45 and spend the next seven to eight hours sailing between Tavolara and Molara islands, swimming in protected bays with turquoise water and white sand. Lunch and snorkeling gear are included, along with wine, beer, and local Sardinian aperitifs. The boat holds a maximum of ten people, which keeps the day feeling unhurried rather than crowded. You return around 5:30pm.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full day on the water without the rush of a speedboat tour — the sailing pace and small group size (max 10 people) mean you actually have time to swim, eat, and look for dolphins without feeling herded between stops.
Tavolara & Punta Coda Cavallo: Dinghy Excursion & Swim StopsYou board a dinghy at Cala Suaraccia and spend the day moving between four protected coves with an expert local skipper. You swim at Molara's natural pools, explore Proratora Cave, walk Spalmatore beach on Tavolara, and finish at Tartle bay. The skipper provides context and local stories at each stop, and fuel is included in the price.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the Tavolara marine area's best coves and swim stops without navigating or piloting a boat yourself — the skipper's local knowledge and the fixed route are what make four distinct stops fit into one day.
Maddalena Archipelago Catamaran Tour from Palau with LunchA full-day catamaran tour from Palau visits the Maddalena Archipelago's most protected islands and beaches, with swimming and snorkeling stops, a morning aperitif of local products, and lunch cooked on board. The boat departs around 9:45am and returns around 5:30pm. The itinerary shifts with weather and sea conditions to keep navigation safe, and a live guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian. No-fish and vegetarian lunch options are available if requested at booking.Is it for me?The boat leaves from Palau harbor in the morning, so if you are staying in Palau or can reach it by 9:45am without a rental car, the tour handles the rest—transport, lunch, drinks and the route all settle on the boat. If you are based elsewhere on the island and do not have a car, you will need to arrange your own way to Palau or book a separate transfer.
La Maddalena Archipelago boat tour: Snorkel 3 islandsA full-day boat tour from Palau to the La Maddalena Archipelago aboard a 16-meter sailing boat, with stops at Spargi, Budelli and Manto della Madonna for snorkeling and swimming. The boat carries lunch, wine, beer and snorkeling equipment; the skipper adjusts the route based on weather and sea conditions, sometimes substituting Caprera's bays if conditions favor it. English and Spanish-speaking guides lead the tour.Is it for me?The boat departs early and returns mid-afternoon, so it suits a full day of water time rather than a half-day excursion. You'll be in and out of the water multiple times across three stops, so comfort with snorkeling and swimming is what makes the day work—the skipper chooses the route to keep the sea calm and the visibility clear.
Maddalena Archipelago: Catamaran Day Trip with Sardinian LunchYou’ll board a catamaran in Cannigione for a day trip across the Maddalena Archipelago, swimming off Spargi’s beaches and pausing in silence before Budelli’s pink sands.

Expect laughter, sun-warmed decks, and moments where time slows down—you might find yourself missing it long after you’re home.
Cagliari food tour: Sardinian specialties with local guideA 3-hour food tour through Cagliari led by a local guide who stops at five carefully chosen spots—a bakery, charcuterie shop, traditional restaurant, street food vendor and historic café—where you taste pastries, cured meats, a Sardinian first course, iconic pizza and coffee that add up to a full meal. The guide speaks English and Italian, explains the stories behind each dish, and keeps groups small so everyone gets personal attention.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're new to Cagliari and want to eat the way locals do without spending the afternoon researching restaurants and menus. The small group size and a guide who knows the city's food culture means you taste authentic dishes in places that matter to the neighborhood, not just to tourists—and you learn why each one does.

A bilingual guide leads you through each site, entry fees are covered, and the walk between locations keeps the pace varied. Plan for two to three hours total, with sections both below and above ground.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to see Cagliari's hidden layers without arranging entry to multiple sites separately. The tour involves real tunnels and underground passages, so skip it if you're claustrophobic or have mobility concerns; otherwise, expect a moderate walk with plenty of time to absorb each space.
Alghero walking tour: Medieval streets and hidden storiesA walking tour of Alghero's old town in Sardinia with a bilingual local guide (Italian and English) who covers the medieval cathedral, fifteenth-century walls, the former Jewish quarter, and the main square where Emperor Charles V once stayed.

Alghero: Wine & Olive Oil Tasting in Porto Conte ReserveYou taste five wines paired with three kinds of pecorino and sausage, then finish with extra virgin olive oil, all in a one-hour guided session at a small winery inside a nature reserve. The guide walks you through Sardinian grape varieties and the farm's history before the tasting starts. You'll need your own transport to reach it, and it's designed for visitors 16 and up who want to learn, not just drink.Is it for me?Book this if you want to taste wines and olive oil in the place they're made, with someone who knows the land and can explain what you're tasting—the small group size and technical approach mean you'll learn something, not just pass through.
Olbia: Dolphin Watching Boat Tour & Figarolo IslandYou board a small boat in Olbia and sail 2 hours to Figarolo Island, where a permanent dolphin pod lives. Your guide explains their behavior while you watch for fins and splashes. Onboard drinks keep you comfortable, and the 95% sighting rate means most departures see dolphins.
