Wonderful - The company was extremely helpful and flexible. It helped us incredibly 🥰 The trip was really worth it, wonderful landscapes and without a doubt a memorable moment!!! And the seats at the top made the trip even more comfortable!

Fabulous day out - All round great day out. The office were great - contacted me the day before to make sure we knew where to get picked up. Crew were really friendly and helpful. On board snacks and drinks were really reasonable. The surroundings at the stops were magnificent! Would be good if the commentary in English was a bit slower. Hard to understand what was being said, at least on the top deck. Boat was very clean and well set up. Would do it again!

An amazing experience highly recommend and thank you Gloria! - I am writing this review to help those who try to do something similar as we did when visiting Sardinia and a La Madelena boat tour. We were told by our B&B host that taking a boat trip was a good idea but if we wanted a great experience maybe pay for a smaller boat of 6ppl for 120€. We thought this was too much money so decided to go to the port the next morning and speak with the numerous vendors selling trips. When we went to the port, after speaking to the various companies selling boat tours..we decided to go with Consorzio Meraviglie. The main reason was the tremendous detail and assurances offered by the young lady in the sales booth. Her name was Gloria. She was upfront, honest, informed and did not do a "hard sell", which gave us confidence in the company. The deal was the day tour for about 50€. We came back the next day to board the boat and it was all very easy.. there was free parking at the port, Gloria grouped all together her clients and escorted us all to the boat boarding location 500 meters away. As she had hinted she even tried to help us get on board early so we could get a good location on the boat. She was amazing and I want to thank her for her kindness. As for the trip itself...the weather was great.. the boat had about 70 people on board but you don't really notice...it was a lovely day with nice people all having their own peace to relax on board and yet enjoy the same experience. The trip took us to exactly the places described and the crew on board were great. It was our BEST experience in Sardinia in fact. I was nervous before I booked the trip as we were told the bigger boats maybe too many people...but this company was absolutely perfect. Advice is to ask ahead for the estimated number of guests...and if it's in the hundreds...maybe avoid. We were assured the numbers were not going to be that many and Gloria was true to her word. Everyone's experience of the shared bigger boats will differ...but if you get on board early...and get a good spot...you can enjoy the ride and the excursions even more. There is something for everyone in these type of experiences. The fact we saved all that money was just a boost....If I had paid 120€ for our experience I would have felt we got what we paid for ..so the fact we did it much cheaper was just great! So take my advice... Don't be scared to get to these bigger boats...but this company for sure were great and ran a great service. Highly recommend.

Good experience - Beautiful boat trip with a very nice team. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The second stop on Santa Maria beach is rather disappointing. Lots of people and boats and the lighthouse on the island is of no interest (left abandoned with scaffolding around it) but the team has nothing to do with that! The boat accommodates fewer people than the competition, which is more pleasant!

Good value, basic boat day for Maddalena tour - Good value for money, compared to other tours that are advertised - however the boat seating is not ideal for a long day of travel especially when it is busy. People were fighting over sitting outside on the top and it is quite cramped, sharing tables etc, otherwise you have to sit inside and miss the views. Lovely staff, English translations were good. Nice length of stops where you can get off the boat and the beaches were beautiful. Good bar with food on board. Not great for jumping off to swim as there is no much outdoor space by the ladders so very crowded. If you wanted a trip where you can easily swim, this may not be it. Cheap and cheerful!

Oh well - The boat was far too small and there was no decent place to sit. It was a real fight for seats, so people were holding up their bags to keep the seats free. Just like the loungers on Mallorca! The bays and the archipelago did not disappoint us and were very beautiful with turquoise and clear water, but boat after boat was being dumped there. Mass tourism. Next time I would spend more money.

Mass processing with unfriendly crew - The stop at La Maddalena was OK. Then we went to two islands, the first island had wild boars running around freely without warning, the second island was a 1.5 hour trip to a mediocre beach with no shade, right next to the ships for swimming. So many ships docked at the same time that it was a mass migration to the beach. On the way back we asked for the sunshade on the upper deck to be opened because the sun was so strong. The unfriendly captain just replied "not possible". Overall, the trip is not recommended. We traveled on the "Orient Express".

Tripadvisor stitch up ruined our trip - not the crews fault - Tripadvisor has stitched me up here. The listing and booking quotes an 11:30am pickup from Canningione. Our group of 6 all arrived at 11:00am, waited until 11:40am only to be left disappointed when we called the crew who said they arrived at 10:45, tried to call us and left before 11:00am so we missed it entirely thanks to Tripadvisor. The crew were very generous, offering that we could all hop on the boat the next day instead. Unfortunately for my partner and I, we were flying out the next morning. After trying very hard I've been completely unable to contact Tripadvisor and request a refund, very poor customer service. I would like to speak with them right away to resolve this issue.
