Wow. What an experience. We booked through our hotel on recommendation from the manager - the trip didn’t disappoint. Very Quick Summary - Book this tour. Knowledgable, friendly and hospitable guides who were adhering to COVID-19 guidelines and made the truly amazing. Longer summary: The captain Alessandro spoke great English and communicated to us the day before (via WhatsApp) to make sure we would get to the Port all OK. As a matter of fact, the assistant sailor (name I can’t remember) was fantastic and met us at a roundabout near to the port as the main road was closed nearby. Upon making our way to the port, we were greeted by the captain, had a health and safety briefing and were on our way. A midday aperitivo (traditional Sardinian snacks and refreshments) followed by a stop of at the most magnificent bay, was followed by a cool off and jump off into the sea. We then went to some fantastic islands (names I can’t remember) which included some more swimming and a boat trip to visit the most amazing beaches I’ve ever seen! Once complete, we had an amazing pasta lunch accompanied by wine beer and soft drinks. On the way back, we got to see the catamaran move via sail, an amazing experience. Thanks Alessandro and team.

I was scheduled to take a tour with Fortieventi through TripAdvisor in Sep 2020. A misunderstanding on my part and double booking was caught by Luca and he personally ensured I got everything straightened out prior to arriving in Sardinia. Extremely helpful prior to even departing my home station. He was very communicative upon my arrival and picked me up at my hotel. We were supposed to have 3 people on the tour, but there was an issue with the other couple and it wound up being only Luca and myself for the day. He was a PHENOMENAL tour guide!! He had the go-to places in Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo, etc., but adjusted the day given my preferences and desires. Incredibly knowledgeable about Sardinia, history, wines, churches, food, etc. After 7 hours and 1,000 questions, the day ended with a door to door delivery back to my hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day learning about Sardinia through his eyes and experience. HIGHLY suggest Fortieventi for any and all Sardinia-related tours!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Thank you, Luca, for a very memorable day!

I got in touch with Emerald Cruises several months ago, as I wanted to a unique, special way to propose when I got to Sardinia. Although I’d initially emailed several companies, Emerald stood out as they seemed to truly care and I felt like I could trust them. Daniele got in touch with ideas, detailed plans and remained in constant communication. He put a plan together which was specifically for me and exactly what I wanted for my proposal. When we arrived in Sardinia, he and his assistant greeted us at the dock and helped us on board. The boat was beautiful. He played the songs that I’d chosen and took us to a remote beach, as I wanted to be somewhere away from people. The beach was perfect, empty and he had set up a picnic blanket, ready for when he brought us our drinks. After the proposal, I said that I’d wanted to see the sunset. They drove the boat so that we were facing west (so we had the perfect view) and prepared dinner for us, which was incredibly well presented and tasted amazing. Later on, he drove us back and dropped us outside of our hotel. Not once did I feel rushed or like I was being a pain, even though I was! I wanted everything to be perfect and not only did he never make me feel bad for that, he made it happen. I cannot thank them enough and could not recommend them more.

My girlfriend and me did our PADI Open Water Diver with Pollo Diving and it was the best decision we could have made. As we were visiting Sardinia in September when the season was already over we contated Stefano to ask for the possibility to finally do our Open Water Diver. He was super friendly and even proposed to stay open one more week, just so we could do our course! From the beginning everything was super relaxed and professional. Our instructor Davide was an absolute professional who took his time explaining all the necessary theories and just made learning fun! Also underwater he took us by the hand and made sure we got everything right. We alsways felt very well looked after and could therefor relax and concentrate on learning the basics underwater. After our confined water training we went out to the La Madalena archipelago for our open water dives. The dive sites were absolutely stunning and Davide showed us the amazing underwater fauna, including barracudas, octopus, sea snails and more. Also on a personal level it was all perfect as after the excersises we would sit together and talk about travelling and diving - it really felt like spending some days with friends! All in all, we can only recommend diving with the Pollo Diving crew, you won't regret it!

My boyfriend and I joined Riccardo and Eleanora for a snorkelling trip. Weather started off slightly cloudy but when the sun came out the colours of the sea were amazing. Snorkels and flippers were provided and we saw loads of fish. Lunch was great. And we were offered snacks and drinks all throughout the day. We stopped off at incredible beaches and quieter places for swimming away from the crowds. We were so happy to have gone on this particular trip and would 100% recommend!!

The Rocca Corsa motor yacht From the idea of four young people who live and work with different passions but linked to the sea, in the Maddalenino archipelago, the idea of offering the many tourists a different but never the same boat cruise was born. Without a pre-established itinerary but agreed together with our guests for most of the time and depending on the wind conditions; a unique service, on a new, large and comfortable boat, suitable for families or groups of young people looking for adventure and relaxation. The Rocca Corsa boat is a French lookout in iroko wood completely renovated in 2018 and equipped with all the comforts and safety standards and the prestigious CE mark. The boat carries groups of up to 12 passes. We operate under an OCCASIONAL RENTAL regime in the archipelago of La Maddalena with itineraries on request. It is possible to take boat excursions by dedicating a whole day to discovering the beauties of Caprera if you have already seen the other islands ...

We will accompany you to a unique place in the world Budelli, Spargi and the other islands of the Maddalena Archipelago. The archipelago of La Maddalena enchants for its intense colors, for its breathtaking transparencies and unspoiled nature, for the numerous white coves hidden in a turquoise and crystalline sea. We have been working with passion in the sector since 1995 and we are known for the superlative stop on the beach in the Piscine di Budelli - port of the Madonna and the stop in La Maddalena; but the archipelago is full of surprises and enchanting places. The itinerary is one of the most beautiful and complete, with 4 shorter or longer stops that will allow you to swim on the beaches, sunbathe in relaxation and admire the unspoiled nature of these islands. We know that to visit these places it would take more time and perhaps more privacy but we have been working for years with passion and commitment trying to keep honest prices and affordable for everyone, in order to delight you with this taste of paradise!
