Details
Our boat trip to the Scandola Reserve is full of surprises! Departing from the port of Cargèse, we will first head north, where we will pass in turn the Omigna and Urchinu points as well as the sublime Arone beach, which will impress you with its crystal clear water. Once we arrive at Capo Rosso, we will visit the caves and the red rocky coves, which contrast with the turquoise blue water of the cape.
We will then cross the Gulf of Porto to reach the Scandola Reserve, one of the most famous sites in Corsica and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessible only by sea, the faults of the reserve are home to many protected terrestrial and marine species. After visiting the site from the sea, our boat will continue south to the town of Girolata, where we will stop for 2 hours. During this stop, you can enjoy a meal in one of the local restaurants in the port.
Once back on the boat, we will pass Capo Senio and head towards the famous Calanques de Piana. True treasures of the Island of Beauty, we will make, depending on the weather conditions, a short swimming stop so that you can refresh yourself in a unique setting. Finally, we will return to the port of Cargèse, after a 6-hour and 15-minute trip.

A perfect moment.
No restaurant for us but, on recommendation, a picnic in a small cove right next to it.
