SPECTACULAR AND SUPER RECOMMENDED - Everything perfect, absolutely to repeat. Friendly and very welcoming staff, Captain very helpful to some of our questions and curiosity. Boat clean and equipped with comfort. Wonderful sea around the Maddalena archipelago. 3 bathroom stops and very pleasant navigation.
I highly recommend Elena Tour for their professionalism. It was a wonderful experience, thank you!!!

Holiday 24 - We opted for the full tour. The ship looks brand new, actually I was told by the crew to be from 99. Well kept, all clean, impeccable bathrooms. If the ferries that come to Sardinia, were half as clean, it would be a luxury. Staff on board, friendly and helpful. They offer restaurant service (they make two types of pasta to order) and bar, at fair prices. The tour starts with the tour in the center of La Maddalena. Nothing much, I would have preferred a cove in the northern part, but I understand that there may be a commercial agreement to bring tourists to spend money between Dining and Shopping, so much so that the center is just that, a Shopping street. The second stop is on the island of spargi. Beautiful, wild, amazing sea, nothing to add except that you would stay there to the bitter end. We leave after about an hour and something for Santa Maria. On the way, stop for photos in Budelli, then you pass by the pools of casings, non-stop. Arrived at SM stop for an hour and a half. Everything beautiful from the water to the beach. We leave for Cala coticcio, Caprera, where you will swim offshore, among many other boats, in Tahiti. Exceptional sea, as well as the presence of fish, really numerous. Recommendation to dive only if safe swimmers, because there will be current and also wind, you may be a little scared. I emphasize that there is a boy on the crew who goes around you with a rubber dinghy to keep you safe, even from other boats. Security is very well managed. The only drawback. In some reviews I read that it would not be Cala coticcio. I doubt it too, because I didn't see any beaches from the ship. In my opinion, they stay out of the cove which is beautiful, but it is not coticcio cove. After this stop of about 20 minutes, return to Palau. Rely on this tour, you will be fine. Money well spent

Safe experience to wonderful locations - Nice boat trip to the most wonderful locations you can only reach by boat. We unfortunately experienced challenging weather conditions with a strong breeze all day, but staff made us feel safe and secure all times. Good information for none Italian speakers all day.
A little crowded and long tour when last stop was cancelled. Otherwise good value and nice trip.

To avoid... - Changes of stopping points without any passenger information, stops in natural areas with protected status where various boats pour tourists galore. Apart from the minimalist announcements no contact with the onboard personnel... Anyway, going out catches tourists to avoid.

We didn’t make it - Unfortunately, we missed our boat and were unable to take the trip. While we usually pride ourselves on being well-organized travelers, in this case, the lack of clear communication from the tour provider played a major role.
No information was provided in advance about the name of the boat or the specific pier we needed to find. We arrived at the port on time, with our car parked and ready to board, but had no way to locate the correct vessel. I called Elena Tour to ask for the name of the boat, and the woman on the phone told me it was called “Elena Tour,” which turned out to be incorrect. When I asked again for confirmation, she repeated the same name.
We spent precious time running around the port searching for the boat, trying to call the company again several times—unfortunately, no one picked up. By the time we figured out what was happening, the boat had already left without us.
No refund was offered, and based on this experience, I cannot recommend this tour provider.

Disappointed in Sardinia - Didn't even make it to the boat because of heavy traffic. Never went on the tour and couldn't get my money refunded to me. Never book online and pay ahead! Just go to the docks and get a boat from there. Then you won't lose any money
