The day begins boarding at Palau’s commercial port as the hull cuts through water so clear you can read the sand below. Wind loosens hair, salt hits the skin and the small islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago open one by one: rocky outcrops, white sand pockets and bays with water shaded from emerald to electric blue.

The day begins boarding at Palau’s commercial port as the hull cuts through water so clear you can read the sand below. Wind loosens hair, salt hits the skin and the small islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago open one by one: rocky outcrops, white sand pockets and bays with water shaded from emerald to electric blue.
This national park, shaped by granite and sea, carries both military history and seaside culture — Caprera is where Giuseppe Garibaldi made his home in the 19th century. Geologically the islands are ancient crystalline granites carved by wind and wave; human threads run from shepherds to fishing villages and modern conservation policies that limit access to fragile beaches.
On a typical itinerary the boat pauses at Spargi and Santa Maria for beach time and swimming, offers a photo stop at Budelli’s famed Pink Beach from the water, and alternates a final swim at Cala Coticcio (Caprera) or a visit to La Maddalena town for gelato and shopping. Expect guided commentary, on-board restrooms and short beach walks — all framed by the National Park’s regulations, including a small landing fee.
Practical edge: arrive early to find coin-operated parking in Palau, bring a reef-safe sunscreen and a snug snorkel mask, and prepare for sun exposure between boat and sand. Weather can change fast; the captain alters stops if wind or swell picks up. For a seven-hour marine day, sensible shoes for boarding, a dry bag, and a charged phone for photos keep logistics simple and the experience unforgettable.
