      Not pink or prompt!
      Misleading to still keep information about the “pink beach” in the description. The beach is no longer pink and you don’t even stop there! Also departed 45 mins late after we rushed to get there.

      Boat trip
      Positives: 1. Clean, very well maintained boat 2. Friendly, helpful and well presented efficient staff 3. Guide fluent in several languages 4. Choice of seat on a 1st come 1st served basis and you keep the same seats for the entirety of the trip. Stops people turning up at the last minute and then expecting their choice of seat by moving others later. 5. 2nd beach stop with the wild boar that raid for food. You are warned not to take food with you onto the beach, or indeed any bags that have previously had food in. Hilarious watching the people who didn't listen to the advice try and chase off the boar. 6.swim off the boat at the lunch stop. Very attentive staff ensuring that everyone was safe. Very impressed with the crew. 7. La Magdalena stop. Excellent Gelato. 8. Beautiful scenery Negatives: 1. The first beach stop is awful. All the boats seem to stop here so there's always lots of people arriving and leaving. Boat fumes not pleasant either. An hour is way too long for this beach. 2. Would have preferred to have skipped the 1st stop entirely and spent longer on the swim off the boat and more time at la Magdalena. I didn't swim from the boat but my husband and 12year old had a great time. 3. Now, this was fine for us but just a warning that the stop at the 2nd beach requires you to walk from the gang plank across some rocks to get to the beach. The staff are there to help and guide you but people with mobility issues may struggle or not manage it. I'm not very sure footed but I was fine so please don't worry even if using a walking stick. Overall, we really enjoyed our day out and the crew were excellent, even dealing with entitled/unreasonable customers with tact and patience. It's personal opinion that we didn't enjoy the 1st beach and would have preferred extra time at other stops. I'd choose this company again.

      Best boat tour
      Stunning views, great schedule visiting the beaches, we did not feel hurried, it was very relaxing. The tour guide, Claudia, is the best one we’ve encountered so far! She speaks 4 languages fluently ! 100% recommended!

      Great little day trip
      Took my daughter on the boat trip as part of our holiday. It was well organized and the staff were really helpful and thoughtful. We queued for a while at the kiosk but no need as we'd bought the ticket online (FYI go straight to the boat if you've bought online) First beach was nice but very crowded 30 mins would have been plenty for this stop. The views from the boat were lovely and we stopped and you could swim around the boat, that was fun 😊. The second beach we stopped at was the best by far! And we had a guest appearance from the local boars which was a lovely addition to the visit. Then we stopped in Maddalena town, this was great but wish it was longer. Personally instead of an hour at the first beach cut that to 30 mins so you can have longer to shop in Maddalena as we had just over an hour but it felt like 10mins. All in all a great trip and I would recommend it ☺️

      Beautiful water
      This was a great boat trip. Yes it’s a big busy boat but the crew kept it very well organised. Plenty of time spent on the two beaches and a beautiful swimming spot. Our guide was amazing, she could speak fluently 4 languages. Stunning coast line.

      Nice full day excursion for family
      Very nice excursion with a good mix of beach snorkelling and town visit. The boat was exceptionally clean and the staff was very professional. A tip is to be fast on and off the boat and also try to get one of the tables downstairs. Highly recommend to get a full day with family and see a lot of the archipelago.

      Great experience, a wonderful crew, highly recommended. We had a fantastic day and the visited places were amazing. If you want to see the beautiful Magdalena islands, this is the cruise to go.

      My Hen Holiday
      We had an unforgettable boat trip from Palau to La Maddalena! The crew was incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. The real highlight was Fabio – his enthusiasm, knowledge, and charisma truly made the experience special. Fabio took us to the most stunning beaches, making every stop a highlight. He’s undoubtedly an asset to the boat. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Sardinia. Thank you for an amazing day!

      Cancelled us the night before
      Cancelled us the night before leaving us no time to arrange another trip. Flat calm water and no wind today so just bad business. Go with another company who won’t let you down

      La Maddalena boat tour
      The boat trip was very disciplined and well planned. Everybody of the staff was very friendly and helpful. For our liking, the stops were very short and crowded, since probably all the boat tours go for the same schedule.

      The perfect tour
      The tour was excellent!! The crew is so professional and super kind. Our favorite was our tour guide who explained everything in 4 languages! Additionally, I was afraid of toilets but it was really clean. It was all worth it and I'd recommend it.

    The setup with a guide in the speakers at very high volume in four different languages ​​was unbearable to listen to. The solution found in many museums would be to give each individual headphones in the respective language.
    In addition, rock music was played at a very high volume throughout the tour.
    There was a fairly high average age on the trip and reasonably we all wanted to enjoy the silence and the beautiful archipelago. Six hours became unbearable, unfortunately, even though the archipelago, the sea and the beaches are beautiful.

    Rendez-vous noted on the boarding tickets for a Check-out at 10:30, we arrived on the dock at 10:10, our boat MAGGIORE was already gone!!!!!
    Cannot discuss with the person present on the stand to try to find us places on the next boat without paying 80€ extra per person!!!!
    We paid 195€ for 3 people because we had chosen with a Guide who spoke French and in the end, we lost our money and left very disappointed by this experience!!!!
    As a result, the honesty of the company...

    We had an amazing time with Maggior Leggero in the COLORADO sail. The team was amazing: passionate, fun and informative. The tour lasts 7 hours, and we had a great time both on the boat and in the 4 different spots we stopped at: two in the water, near some of the most beautiful islands in Italy, and two at the beaches of said islands. We are in our mid 20s going 30 and the people we met were also of similar age. Colorado isn’t just a tour - it’s an experience. Absolute value for money. Thank you Domenica, Jordan, Letizia and the rest of the crew!! 10/10 would do it again in a heartbeat!!

    Beautiful day, from the start the welcome at the port of Maddalena is very friendly, the boat leaves on time.
    Well placed in the boat, the guide speaks 4 or 5 languages and speaks impeccable French.
    The places are sublime, the beaches easy to reach.
    Paradise places.

    Maybe the best boat tour we ever had! We took the Colorado at La Maddalena pier at 10am with the first stop at Palau. We were 8 passengers in total plus the amazing and extremely professional crew along with Leticia, our fantastic guide showing us all beautiful spots in a perfect Italian and English. The archipelago is breathless and we had more than enough time to swim and sunbathe. Weather was not perfect (a bit windy) but we really enjoyed it. Thank you so much guys and we hope to see you soon! Keep it up!

    This year, for the second consecutive year, we had a wonderful experience during a full-day excursion, with the motorboat Colorado. We could admire beautiful views, islands, beaches, as well as swim in the turquoise sea and natural pools. The sailing ship is not very crowded during the trip, for this reason you can be comfortable and quiet. The food they offer for lunch is delicious, there are also crepes and drinks of various kinds.
    Our praise goes to the crew members for their professionalism, especially the Leticia Guide for his kindness, dedication and helpfulness. We look forward to doing it again next year.

    We left Baja and boarded a lovely boat from the jetty. The Boat was already very busy as we visited three different islands during the day, starting with La Maddalena - with circa 12000 inhabitants. Our second island Spargi was uninhabited with lovely white beaches and turquoise water. Boat was a bit too busy with limited available seating but day was excellent.

    Beautiful experience despite the particularly windy day, thanks to the size of the motor vessel and the preparation of the entire crew, attentive to the needs of all passengers. A special thanks to Fabio for his availability, kindness, preparation and friendliness. To repeat.

    We had to be at the tour boat which was moored in the port of Santa Teresa di Gallura at 07.30 for an 08.00 departure.
    With military precision, the crew of the Seagull loaded the boat with tourists and provisions, and off we went.

    Our first stop was La Maddalena which was nice and scenic. A short while to shop and have a little breakfast before being whisked off to the island of Santa Maria.

    We were able to have a swim and rest on a lovely, but packed beach.

    Then it was all aboard for lunch ( a bowl of pasta), then a further trip to the island of Spargi, and another swim in the crystal clear waters. Then a short loll on the Spiaggia Punta Rossa Corsara Beach

    Finally a mad gallop back to STG.

    All in all, very touristy but very nice,

    Beautiful trip on this boat, clean and organised, with friendly and helpful on-board staff. Interesting anecdotes and detailed descriptions of the archipelago in multiple languages by the guide. Stops with untimed times on some enchanting beaches and the opportunity to swim by diving directly from the boat into unique waters. On board, in addition to the possibility of having lunch, there was a well-stocked and efficient bar... including the bartender.
