Details
Thanks to our semi-private boat trip to the Scandola Reserve, discover the natural nuggets of the Island of Beauty. Departing from the port of Cargèse, you will embark on our small semi-rigid boat, which will give a more intimate atmosphere to the trip. After passing the Omigna and Urchinu points and the sublime Arone beach, we will drop anchor in the Capo Rosso bay, where we will make a short stop for a swim, depending on the weather conditions. We will also take the opportunity to visit the red rock caves, typical of the Corsican landscape.
We will then cross the Gulf of Porto to reach the Scandola Reserve, a famous site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will be able to observe many species of animals, which find refuge in the irregularities of the reserve's rocks. Our boat will continue south to the town of Girolata, where we will stop for 2 hours. There, you can enjoy a swim and 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, they will offer you a sublime spectacle, thanks to the contrast between the turquoise water and the red rock of these immense cliffs. After 5 hours and 45 minutes of navigation, we will return to the port of Cargèse, where you can enjoy an ice cream while strolling through the picturesque village.

Very nice getaway, we take full eyes.
Our captain was adorable, the explanations of qualities and a very good organization to allow us optimal moments swimming too.
The zodiac is a perfect format to discover the Scandola reserve and the creeks of Piana. The speed of the boat at times is also fun and adds to the pleasure. What a positive thing to do!
Our small group was also very friendly we were only 11 it was very good.
We could move on the boat and take pictures at leisure.
