Details
Experience an unforgettable adventure with our boat trip to Scandola and Piana. From Ajaccio or Porticcio, we will first head north towards the Calanques of Piana, which will offer you a unique spectacle thanks to the red colour of their rocks which contrast with the turquoise of their waters. Then we will head for the Natural Reserve of Scandola, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1975! There, we will first visit the island of Gargalo and have a breathtaking view of its Genoese tower, which overlooks the reserve. Thanks to the small size of our boat, we will be able to slip between the cracks of the Cathedral and the monk seals, true natural nuggets of western Corsica!
The trip will continue with a swimming break at the Anse de Muretta and during this time our crew will prepare a delicious aperitif with local specialities and Corsican rosé wine! We will then go to the fishing village of Girolata for a stop of 1 hour and 15 minutes, where you can eat your picnic on the beach, or go to a restaurant to taste the local speciality: the lobster!
We will then return to the boat and cross the Gulf of Porto to Capo Rosso, which is the most westerly point of the Island of Beauty. There, we will be able to swim in the turquoise waters of this natural pool and admire the fauna and flora, typical of the Corsican coastline. We will make a final stop for about 15 minutes in the cove of Cala di Pala, where you can jump into the water from the cliffs! At the end of this exceptional adventure, our boat will drop you back at your departure port, and you can continue your day enjoying the surrounding beaches.

Captains Dimitri and Julian went above and beyond for their clients, offering a truly wonderful boat trip with rich and informative commentary. We highly recommend both the excursion and its two humorous captains! Lunch was a delight; it's a fantastic place, and being on a boat is what makes it so charming! Thanks again to the captains!

A fabulous first experience. We saw the Corsican coast from the sea with one eye. Our guide was great and exceptional. We will be back
