About La Maddalena
La Maddalena's granite islands, wind-carved rocks and water that shifts from turquoise to deep sapphire make the archipelago one of Sardinia's most rewarding places to shoot. Much of the best light is only reachable by sea, which is why photographers gravitate to boat-based outings such as the Full-Day Boat Tour of the La Maddalena Archipelago from Sardinia, whose long hours on the water leave room to work the changing light, or the Budelli & Santa Maria Boat Tour from La Maddalena and Palau, which reaches the pink sands and shallow lagoons that define the archipelago's palette.

From the water, the straits between Budelli, Santa Maria and Razzoli turn glassy and reflective at golden hour, which is why.
