Crossing the Straits of Bonifacio is always exciting, and often made more so by seeing dolphins and on rare occasions even whales.
The trip starts from the pier at Cala Capra and goes along the coast past the famous Roccia dell'Orso and the north coast of Palau until you arrive at the charming city of Bonifacio for a visit to the historic old town.
From here you continue along the south-east coast of Capo Pertusato, passing under the high white limestone cliffs to arrive at Punta Sperone and the spectacular strip of sand that is Isola Piana for your first swimming stop. After a tasty lunch prepared by the Hotel, you continue to the island of Lavezzi where you disembark near the beach for a walk around the island, to discover the enchanting sea bottom, or simply to relax on the beach.
In the late afternoon, after a snack offered by the crew, you will return to the hotel.

Mini Tour Archipelago
If you just want a half-day tour to explore the La Maddalena Archipelago in time to be back at the hotel for lunch, the mini tour of the islands will be perfect for you. The trip is broken up by two or three stops in the most alluring yet least visited parts of the National Park to guarantee you an invigorating dive and a short pause for a swim directly from the boat.
More details
The half-day excursions give you the chance of reaching different destinations in the La Maddalena Archipelago for a swim directly from the boat, in limpid crystalline waters alongside pure white beaches.
Alternatively, on Tuesday and Thursday, there is a visit to and a stop at the island of La Maddalena where you disembark directly in the town centre to walk around the characteristic old streets with their markets and craft workshops.
For safety reasons, children under the age of three are not allowed to go on the boat excursions.
