Details
Discover all the secrets of the south of Corsica with our semi-private boat trip to the Scandola reserve and the Calanques de Piana. On board our semi-rigid boat, you will be able to enjoy being in a small group, in order to ask all your questions about the Island of Beauty to our captain. Departing from the town of Cargèse, we will first sail towards the Omigna point, which you will easily recognize thanks to its tower. Then we will pass the point of Urchinu and the beach of Arone, to arrive at Capo Rosso where we will visit the caves and the famous red rocky coves. If the conditions allow it, we will also make a stop for a swim.
Then, we will cross the Gulf of Porto, in order to reach the Scandola reserve. Here you will be able to observe numerous species that are now protected. After visiting all the corners of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we will drop anchor in Girolata for a 30-minute stop. You can either take a walk or relax on the beach and enjoy the Corsican sun.
Back on the boat, we will pass Capo Senio and head towards the famous Calanques de Piana, which will offer you a sublime spectacle, thanks to the contrast between the turquoise water and the red rock of these immense cliffs. Finally, we will return to the port of Cargèse, where you will be able to see the port lighting up little by little.
