Sunset Boat Trip to the Scandola Reserve & Calanques de Piana

Welcome aboard for a sunset boat trip from Porto to Scandola & Calanques de Piana. Departing from Porto, we will navigate north across the sublime Gulf of Girolata to reach the famous Scandola reserve. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the nature reserve is home to a huge number of species that are now protected. Keep your eyes peeled for a golden eagle!

We will then head south to Capo Rosso, the most westerly cape on the Isle of Beauty. We will then make our way to the Calanques de Piana, where we will visit the famous grotto and pass under the arch. The red colour of the rock, combined with the turquoise of the water, offers a unique spectacle for the eyes.

At any time during the trip, the captain may suggest that you cool off by diving into the crystal-clear waters of a wild cove, weather conditions permitting. The swimming stop will last around 15 minutes. After a 3-hour boat trip, our captain will drop you off at the same place as on the outward journey, at the Porto harbour.
