We went to the meeting point which was on the ticket, although we were on time there was no boat. We called them they say wave your hands, instead of sending a proper location through WhatsApp, at the end we were not able to take the tour and couldn’t get refunded.

Amazing, the crew was absolutely incredible, friendly and so helpful. I strongly recommend it to everyone ❤️

This was a last minute reservation and the only option available with 24 hr notice. It was ok, boat was older, but clean. pretty crowded and with 2 stop at the beaches, which were crowded. Next time I would pay more for a more stop and smaller boat with less people. Staff were ok, not super friendly.

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!

Very beautiful trip, very friendly staff, the boat is just right, but only a little explanation in English. If you have a hard time with the heat on the beach, bring your own beach umbrellas. You can also order lunch and drinks on the boat, reserve your seat with a towel or similar. Warning: you have to pay an additional €5 per person for access to the beach in CASH, which is not mentioned in the description.
Overall, I highly recommend the trip, it was amazing.

The islands were stunning.’the boat & crew were very good, big enough boat when the sea got a bit choppy & the crew were very helpfull helping people on & off the boat.
The only criticism, as others mentioned, the narration was a lot in Italian & only a little in English.
Well worth the price, was an excellent excursion.

Our bus was very late and we came 3 minuts past departure, although we called one of the staff to vait us, but they didn”t. I asked for refund, but they refused it. I am very dissaponted because of that.

Professionalità del capitano e di tutto lo staff.
Con la sua grande esperienza ci ha portato su spiaggette meravigliose e bagno in acque cristalline; tour organizzato alla perfezione!!
Lo consigliamo a tutti

A wonderful day, you visit a couple of islands with natural, non-urbanized beaches. There is swimming in the sea from the boat and at the end there is a visit to the city of La Maddalena

The beaches are quite crowded and overrun. Otherwise, it is very beautiful. The pink beach is not pink at all 😊

Although it says that the languages are Italian or English, among the crew is Pablo, who speaks Spanish, and who is very kind and attentive.
We had the bad luck that when we were at the first stop of the excursion a storm began and we had to return to port. The company offered to refund us half of what we paid or to repeat it. We chose the second and it was a success. We recommend it 100%.

Viator does not explain who your operator was and we started looking all over pier 5 for which one it was, when we finally found it they closed the pass in our face, we were going with a 1-year-old baby and another 3-year-old in our arms, and for arriving 1 min late they did not want to open for us, part of the staff looked at us and said yes and others gave them the order no, very bad experience, they have charged us and on top of that they do not want to return our money. Very poorly managed by Viator for not giving specific details and bad on the part of the tour operator who, seeing our faces, did not want to let us pass.

The staff is truly kind, everything is top-notch, definitely an experience to have. Enchanting places with an organization worthy of the name.

The city of Maddalena is very beautiful, but one hour is too short; more time could be added for the second beach, and it could be included in the visit to La Maddalena. The drinks on the boat are cheap and the experience is highly recommended.

A very good experience. The places we visited are incredible. It is worth highlighting how great the crew is, all very professional, attentive, and kind, especially Pablo, the Argentine guy!!

Amazing experience, lovely people and wonderful places, we were told that there was only in English and Italian and still helped us with a guy who knew Spanish, 100% recommended

The boat is not very crowded because fewer people are boarded than allowed. Ample parking at the port. Very courteous crew. The planned experiences (spread landings, casings and the Magdalene, bathing and diving from the boat) are exciting
