The boat trip I’d 100% book again in Sardinia ⚓️🇮🇹

If you’re staying on the north-east coast of Sardinia, Tavolara & Molara boat tour should be on your list🔝

This was one of my favourite days of our trip - turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, little coves, swimming stops and that feeling of being completely surrounded by the Mediterranean💙

⛰️ Tavolara is the dramatic one - a huge limestone island rising straight from the sea, with incredible views as you approach it by boat. It feels wild and completely different from spending the day on Sardinia’s beaches.

🐠 Molara was one of my favourite parts of the day. The water around the island is unbelievably clear, making it perfect for swimming and snorkelling🤿

🛥️ My biggest recommendation: book a small-group boat trip rather than trying to see the islands independently. You’ll get to explore several swimming spots and coves that are much easier to reach from the water.

📍 Where to go from: Porto San Paolo is one of the most convenient starting points for Tavolara, especially if you’re staying around Budoni or San Teodoro.

⏰ Go for a full-day trip if you can. There’s something special about not rushing between swimming stops and having enough time to simply enjoy being out on the water🩵

🌊 Check the wind forecast before booking. The sea conditions can make a huge difference to the experience, especially if you’re travelling with children.

👶 Travelling with kids? Choose your boat carefully. A smaller boat can be more intimate and fun, but make sure there’s enough shade, easy access to the water and a comfortable setup for little ones.

🧴 Bring: sunscreen, a hat, water, swimwear, towels and a waterproof phone case. And definitely bring your snorkel if you have one! 🤿

📸 Keep your camera ready as you approach Tavolara - the views from the water are spectacular😍

It was one of those days that made us understand why Sardinia is so special🫶🏻

One perfect evening in Posada 🌅🧡

🏘️ Perched on a hill above the coast, Posada feels completely different from the beach towns nearby - narrow cobbled streets, colourful old houses, little hidden corners and Castello della Fava sitting dramatically at the top. 🏰

🍦 We wandered through the old town, stopped for gelato, explored the little streets and slowly made our way towards the castle…

🌅 And then came the best part - watching the sun go down over the rooftops, countryside and coast🧡

Honestly, that’s how I’d recommend doing Posada. 👌

⏰ You don’t need to dedicate an entire day to it. If you’re already exploring the north-east coast, Posada makes a lovely 2–3 hour evening stop for a stroll, gelato, dinner and sunset. 🍝🍦🌅

📍 My tips for visiting Posada:

🌅 Go late afternoon - especially in summer. It’s much more pleasant for walking, and the golden-hour light is gorgeous.

🚗 Park at the bottom of the historic centre and explore on foot. The old town is full of narrow lanes, stairs and steep little streets. 👟

👟 Wear comfortable shoes - especially if you’re planning to walk up towards Castello della Fava. 🏰

🏘️ Don’t rush straight to the castle - take your time wandering through the old streets. That’s where much of Posada’s charm is. 🤍

🏰 Check the castle opening times if you want to go inside. Even if you don’t, the area around it is worth visiting for the views. 👀

🍦 Get a gelato and wander around as the town starts to glow in the evening light. It’s one of those simple Italian moments.

🌅 Stay for sunset - this is the part I wouldn’t skip. The elevated position gives you beautiful views across the surrounding landscape and towards the coast.

Would I drive across Sardinia just to visit Posada? Probably not.

🤍 Would I add it to an evening if I was staying nearby? Absolutely.

These gardens look straight out of an English period drama😍

Welcome to Hillsborough Castle Gardens, one of Northern Ireland’s most beautiful hidden gems🌿

Couldn’t resist stopping at every rose bush🌹

The fountains, the flower beds and the perfectly kept grounds are just perfect😍

Summer layers were definitely the right choice for a day out in Northern Ireland🌦️

Typical Northern Ireland weather, but somehow it only added to the atmosphere🤍

These delicate pink blooms were impossible to walk past without stopping🌸💞

An umbrella is probably the best accessory you can pack for a day out in Northern Ireland☔️
