Visit the must-see sites of the southwest of Corsica with our boat trip to Scandola and the Calanques of Piana! From the marina in Porto, we will board our hybrid boat and head for the Capo Rosso. Once we arrive at the most westerly cape of the Island of Beauty, we will be able to admire its magnificent Genoese tower. Afterwards, we will go to the Calanques of Piana which will impress you with their huge red cliffs, a unique landscape that you won't soon forget! Our boat will then head north to reach the Scandola nature reserve. This site, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1975, is full of natural treasures: if we are lucky, we may even see wild goats, sea eagles or dolphins! Our last destination will be Girolata. We will make a 30-minute stop to visit this beautiful fishing village. You can also take advantage of this stop to swim. Finally, when everyone is back on the boat, we will head for Porto. We advise you to use these last moments on the boat to admire the magnificent rocky coastline!

Over 75% of guests rate this guided boat tour around the Gulf of Porto five stars. Families and nature enthusiasts especially praise the attentive crew and the "breathtaking landscapes" of the Scandola Reserve. A few travelers note that swimming stops are not included and live commentary is primarily in French. Nevertheless, the comfortable, shaded vessel ensures an unforgettable coastal experience that makes discovering Corsica's coastline truly worthwhile.
