What is the cheapest period for a boat trip to La Maddalena?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Analysing the price table, three seasonal bands clearly emerge:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">Low season (May and October)<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"\">Adults \u20ac 50, children \u20ac 30-40, infants \u20ac 15-30. This is the ideal period for those seeking the best value for money. The water in May is already pleasant (around 18-20\u00b0C), while in early October it is still warm (22-23\u00b0C) after the summer. Advantages: few crowds,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span class=\"\">semi-deserted beaches<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">, easy parking at\u00a0<\/span><strong><span class=\"\">Palau<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0and no queues to board.

It is the perfect compromise. June offers already warm water (22-23\u00b0C) and long days, September has the sea still warm (24-25\u00b0C) after the summer. The crowds are present but manageable, and prices are 15-20% lower than in July and August. My personal advice: choose the first half of September. The sea is perfect, the sun is still hot but not torrid, and the children are already back at school (less crowds on the beaches).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">High season (July and August)<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"\">Adults \u20ac 65-70, children \u20ac 55-70, infants up to \u20ac 70.

Frequently asked questions on La Maddalena boat trip prices<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">Do children under 4 always pay?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"\">It depends on the operator.

Always read the conditions before\u00a0<\/span><strong><span class=\"\">book<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">Does the landing fee also apply to children under 7 years of age?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"\">No, the tax only applies to passengers aged 7 or older.
