My wife & I booked a private boat tour of La Maddalena Island from Palau with Kevin of Sardinia Island Tours, in the first week of May’24.
Kevin and his boat were fantastic. First-off the boat was sparkling & spic-n-span, no shoes allowed, we had no problems being bear feet as the boat was so clean. Kevin was an excellent captain and guide, was very knowledgeable and steered the boat to perfection even on the rough seas. He was very flexible with our time on the boat and on the La Maddalena island.
Special mention to the fact that he accommodated our requests of vegetarian food and no swimming breaks (as my wife can’t swim) and created a perfect bespoke experience that will always be a beautiful memory
Overall it was such a pleasure to be on the tour with Kevin visiting one the most beautiful sea destinations we have even been.

My wife and I traveled to Sardinia on our honeymoon and wanted to do something memorable. Found Sardinia Island Tours and messaged Kevin, the owner. Kevin responded promptly and provided a quote and details for a private tour, which we ended up booking. The deposit was fully refundable if weather was poor, and Kevin messaged and informed us of where to park for free near his office.
The tour was beyond expectation. The boat is maintained in perfect condition and was very comfortable. Kevin guided us along the coastline of multiple small islands, pointing out historically significant buildings and giving a brief history of the islands. We stopped multiple times in sheltered areas where we anchored and got to swim in the pristine, bright blue waters and because the tour was ours, we stayed as long as we wanted without having to maintain a schedule. Kevin packed Sardinian wine made by a family member, local beer and a beautiful assortment of meats and cheeses. Kevin took us to a sheltered cove where it was only us, and as we snorted with the fish, took drone video of our adventure which he provided to us free of cost.
We left the tour feeling like Kevin was our friend who was taking us to his favorite spots and sharing the magic of the Sardinian seas. We were so glad to have done the private tour and I would absolutely recommend that you do the same - You will NOT regret it.
After the tour was complete, Kevin exceeded our expectations by providing local recommendations for local shops.
In a competitive marketplace, it can be hard to decide on who to choose, but you will enjoy your time with Kevin, appreciate his expert service and knowledge and leave with memories you’ll cherish forever.

Kevin was really conscientious of the ocean conditions and planned out a route that maximized our experience. He told us about the history of the area and the structures we could see. We visited areas to snorkel and explore the fauna of the area. Our family was two adults and two teenagers and we all enjoyed the trip immensely. Kevin asked us about what we wanted to see and do and listened showing he cared about our experience. The trip was phenomenal.

Great professional and friendly company, ran by Kevin and Chiara.
We did the half day group tour, which had a small number of people, eight of us, so we had lots of space on their lovely boat. Wonderful Kevin was our skipper, he is friendly, competent and extremely knowledgeable.
We loved everything we saw and the swimming stops we made.
Drinks and snorkelling equipment included in the price were an additional bonus.
Highly recommended.

We (two families with grown up children) shipped out with Kevin this morning after a smooth check in at the office. Kevin is bi-lingual so his English is perfect. He briefed us about the day before we left so we knew where we were going and what to expect.
Kevin grew up on the island, is extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves the islands and telling about them. He is pleasant, flexible and relaxed.
He took us to several islands and to four spots for some excellent snorkeling, constantly keeping us updated on all sorts of facts of interest. We had a great day on the Med and enjoyed every moment. We would highly recommend it. Ask for Kevin.

We had a fabulous family tour of the islands around La Maddalena. Kevin was our guide. He was very responsive throughout the booking process and suggested switching dates so that we would have better weather. He took us to some quiet coves where we could swim and shot some drone footage for us. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and pointed out lots of archaeological sites. The local food and wine he provided was delicious. The whole experience was very unhurried and the pacing was perfect. He dropped us off in La Maddalena at the end so that we could have a look around. We caught the ferry back. This was most definitely the highlight of our vacation.

We had a fantastic trip with Kevin. We can only echo what everyone else has said in that the trip was fantastic and Kevin proved to be an excellent host.
The trip took in some fantastic sites and it was obvious that Kevin was happy to share his local knowledge with us. Definitely worth the money

Great day out with Kevin on the water. He's a great guy and skipper, also great local knowledge and explains a lot of the history of Sardinia along the way. We stopped at multiple spots, all beautiful and were given ample time to swim / snorkel. A very fun and chilled day and one I would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful day in the beautiful archipelago of Magdalena. Kevin was very informative with some details of local history. We are a family of 5 and all thoroughly enjoyed the day. We loved snorkelling in such clear water.
Thanks Kevin!
We would happily come back 😀😎

This was our third trip with Kevin (bringing friends when we visit). It is always the highlight of everyone’s holiday.
Kevin is an excellent host. Nothing is too much trouble. If you want to book a boat and snorkelling trip then look no further.

Hi there! My partner and I are wanting to do sailing and snorkeling near the end of June I have been on your website and there’s no prices? I see it’s 60€ in low season in your other comment but how much for the time we will be there? Also there’s quite a few locations you stop at can we request the spots we would like to visit like the pink beach and the shipwreck or do we have no choice where the tour takes us?
Written May 18, 2019
Hi Amy, Thank you for contacting us!
We do have prices. If you scroll down on the homepage, in the footer. By the end of June it's about 75€ per person but if you book in advance you can get 5 euro discount for each passenger.
Swimming stops are always in different places, but same Islands: Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria. We tend to choose the anchoring spot by judging from the wind direction, waves and overall currents, so that we can stay in the most sheltered places. The Pink Beach, unfortunately is closed to pubblic, due to environmental protection laws. So we can only pass by in front of it with the boat and take a few pics. Please check out also our FAQ page and let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks!
Kevin
