What are people saying about Sardinia

Ellyn_L, Aug 2026

Wonderful Experience e

Augustine and Teresa were above and beyond great captains and guides. They took wonderful care of our six year old daughter and us. We loved the trip/tour; they were helpful, knowledgeable, and the food/drink were impeccable. They both spoke multiple languages for different parties on board. Our only complaint is that we wish the company would allow for a bigger boat or fewer customers on the trip as it made the boat a little cramped but that wasn't something Augustine or Teresa could control. We highly recommend this if you want to spend all day in crystal clear water while having amazing food and drinks with amazing company.

Truly amazing and unforgettable experience

This cooking experience was so amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and what an incredible view while cooking in such a gorgeous kitchen. Learned so much and even got a recipe book when we left. The chefs (Maria and her daughter) were so accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. We really loved every second of this experience

Dolphin Watching Tour - from Golfo Aranci

Inokentii_M, Aug 2026

We did see lots of...

We did see lots of dolphins to the left of the Figarolo island - at least 4 of them including a little one too. We spent about an hour on the spot watching, then quick hydration break in the marina and back home. Short but exciting trip. Definitely better to go in the morning. Inflatable motor boat with 12 people, a bit of a tight squeeze.

A fantastic experience...

A fantastic experience and a perfect day at sea! We were traveling with two young children and were initially a little worried about how they would handle the catamaran trip, but there was absolutely no need to worry. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made the kids feel comfortable and happy from the very beginning. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this experience, especially for families traveling with children!

Amazing Catamaran Boat Tour Experience

Absolutely fantastic catamaran boat tour! We had such an amazing day from start to finish. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, the scenery was incredible, and the whole experience was so relaxing and enjoyable. The crew were friendly, professional and made sure everyone had a great time. We visited some stunning spots, enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear water, had delicious food and wine and had plenty of time to simply sit back and take in the beautiful coastline. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and an experience we won’t forget. Highly recommend! ☀️🌊⛵️

Amazing boat day!!

We had such a wonderful day on the boat! From beginning to end, the staff was incredibly friendly, organized, and helpful. They made sure everyone arrived on time, gave clear directions, and made the entire experience seamless. Throughout the day, we were treated to a delicious spread of meats, cheeses, and refreshing drinks, which was such a nice touch. We stopped at 2–3 stunning locations where we had plenty of time to swim, explore, and relax in the crystal-clear water. It truly ended up being one of the highlights of our trip—we honestly didn't want to leave! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10, highly recommend!

Amazing sailing adventure in the Maddalena Archipelago

Amazing to be under full sail for almost the whole day. The scenery in the Maddalena archipelago was sensational and we were treated especially well by Stan and Umberto. The swimming places that they found for us were exceptional. Fully recommend this cruise.

The best boat day!!!!

Wow!!!! What an amazing day touring la maddalena archipelago! Arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth! Our tour guides, lead by Guiseppe, were incredible! So much fun, so accommodating, and so knowledgeable. They had paddle boards and snorkel masks, and noodles for all to swim. Jumped off in so many locations. ....And the food!!! They prepared a beautiful spread at nearly every stop. And champagne, beer and juices for the kids. Top notch at every angle. I'd highly recommend for your family or friend adventurers!

A day excursion to La Maddalena

Catherine_O, Jul 2026

Highly recommend - this is a great day out.

This trip was great value. The crew were super helpful. Everything ran on time. Was a bit confusing at Palau as we had no real information about which boat to get on and there are many, many trips going at the same time. It’s a green boat! The only green boat. So wait for that one at pier 5. You can pre order lunch once you are on the boat (we didn’t - we took our own food). Spargi is absolutely stunning. Our favourite stop on the trip. Take snorkels and swim from beach to beach. Information on the boat is in Italian, English and Spanish. There’s a cover on the upper deck so you don’t burn to a crisp. For info: there’s a huge carpark very near to the embarkation point. Lots of free spaces and reasonably priced for the day. Overall it’s a really well thought out experience and we would recommend it!

La Maddalena Archipelago Sailing Tour with Lunch from Palau

Kelly_S, Jun 2026

Wonderful time

When you are in Sardinia you must take a day trip on a sailboat. The 41 foot sailboat was the perfect way to sightsee and spend the day. Our captain, Ilia and crew, Jean Carlo were perfect hosts. We had a lovely lunch and they took us to several great stops including the “Pink Beach”. Highly recommend this day trip. My only suggestion is allow at least 20-30 extra minutes to find a parking spot and you may have to walk a bit so allow extra time. 10/10!

Magdalene Archipelago Tour from Porto Rafael - Luxury Catamaran 1

Katie_O, Jun 2026

Best Day in Sardinia

Our family of four with two children ages 11 and 13 had the most incredible day out with Alberto and Katia. We made four stops for snorkeling and touring the beautiful beaches. All of their equipment, including snorkel gear, stand-up paddleboard, and Alberto shuttling us around in the dinghy, provided the most fun and adventurous day. Every detail was just perfect, including appetizers, lunch, beer and Prosecco, and drinks for the kids. They were incredibly kind and attentive, lunch prepared on board; penne pasta with local fish and the kids enjoyed a beautiful pesto option; all was delicious. Alberto and Katia were very knowledgeable of the region. They were great with our kids, specially allowing our daughter time on the standup paddle board and our son jumping off the high deck of the catamaran they had an absolute blast. We couldn’t believe that eight hours flew by so quickly. Five stars experience would highly recommend to anyone.
