The 4 Palau National Park Tours That Earn Their Price

1.From Palau: La Maddalena Archipelago Day Tour by Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 2,291 reviews · 7 hours · from $59Our pick

From Palau, ride the Petagus through La Maddalena National Park, stopping at Spargi, Santa Maria, Budelli’s natural pools, Pink Beach, and La Maddalena town. An English and Italian-speaking crew handles the route, while the onboard bar sells sandwiches, salads, Sardinian snacks, coffee, wine, and soft drinks.

“This is an absolutely recommended tour if you are visiting Sardinia even for a day or two. To have the best value for money experience, bring your lunch with you on the day of the trip (and thank me later). ..................... The boat was sized for the number of people. It was well equipped with two toilets (one of them did not work on the day of my travel). There were people allocating seats, that helped to reduce the chaos. The on board restaurant was a good add-on, however, very pricey.”
