Tours in Sardinia – What to See & Where to Go
The best tours, itineraries and travel ideas in Sardinia from a local
This area is famous for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and picturesque coves. Many visitors consider La Maddalena one of the best places in Sardinia for a boat trip.
The archipelago consists of several islands, the largest of which are La Maddalena and Caprera. The islands are surrounded by dozens of small bays and lagoons with incredibly clear water.
As this is a protected natural area with limited access, many of its most beautiful spots can only be reached by sea.
What to see in La Maddalena: — the historic centre of La Maddalena;
— Caprera Island and its beaches;
— Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach);
— the turquoise lagoons of the archipelago.
A boat tour is the easiest way to explore the archipelago, especially if you have limited time.
Most tours include:
— visits to several islands;
— swimming stops;
— a boat trip through scenic bays;
— access to beaches that are difficult to reach from land.
Want to see some of Sardinia’s most famous beaches without having to choose just one? A boat trip through the Gulf of Orosei lets you visit several spectacular places along the island’s east coast in a single day.
The route includes the legendary Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, Cala Biriola and Cala Goloritzé: white pebbles, crystal-clear turquoise water, dramatic cliffs and secluded coves.
The true scale and beauty of the Gulf of Orosei can best be appreciated from the sea. The boat cruises past impressive cliffs, hidden coves, sea caves and beaches, many of which are difficult or impossible to reach by land.
During the day, there are stops for swimming and relaxing on the beaches. There’s no need to plan a complicated route, search for parking or spend hours hiking — some of the most beautiful places in the gulf become part of one unforgettable trip.
Every stop is different: from almost transparent water to deep emerald shades, all surrounded by spectacular limestone cliffs.
One boat tour, several iconic beaches and a full day in one of Sardinia’s most beautiful corners.
Imagine a full day surrounded by turquoise waters, wild coves and landscapes you’ll want to photograph again and again. This trip combines two iconic destinations in north-western Sardinia.
First comes Asinara, one of the most fascinating islands in the Mediterranean. Once a restricted island and home to a high-security prison, today it is a vast national park where nature has remained almost untouched. The island is famous for its white donkeys, while its coastline hides beautiful coves with crystal-clear water.
Asinara has a very special atmosphere: silence, open spaces and an almost complete absence of modern development. Even the journey there by sea becomes part of the experience.
And then there is La Pelosa, seen from one of its most spectacular perspectives — from the water. Its white sand, incredible shades of turquoise and the iconic Aragonese tower look completely different from the sea. Best of all, you can admire one of Sardinia’s most famous beaches without the crowds on shore.
Along the way, enjoy beautiful bays, swimming stops and places that are difficult to reach from land.
This is more than just a boat tour — it’s a full day of unforgettable scenery and one of those experiences that often becomes a highlight of a Sardinian holiday.
Asinara + La Pelosa — two icons of Sardinia in one trip.
