Should I book a photography tour or explore La Maddalena on my own?

A guided boat tour is ideal for reaching remote islands and capturing unique perspectives from the water. Self-guided walks are great for street photography in town and coastal paths. For a mix, consider a kayak tour to get close to hidden coves and rock formations.

What tips do you have for capturing La Maddalena authentically?

Wake early for calm seas and soft light, and stay out for sunset when the granite glows. Use a polarizing filter to cut glare on the water. Include local details like fishing boats and Mediterranean scrub for context. A telephoto lens helps capture seabirds and distant islands.
