Details
Take a refreshing swim thanks to our boat trip to the Calanques de Piana and Scandola Nature Reserve, during which you will be able to explore the prettiest sites within the south coast of Corsica. Aboard one of our spacious and fast RIB boats, for up to 12 people, and accompanied by an experienced skipper, you will go from surprises to surprises. We will either meet in Ajaccio or in Porticcio, depending on the option you book before starting the navigation.
In the morning, we will directly head towards Capo Rosso, a popular place known for its jagged cliffs & spectacular views, which will also be our first stop. In case you were still sleepy, both the snorkeling session we will do there and the vast panorama in front of you will surely wake you up. Once everyone is ready, we will then go to the Calanques de Piana followed by Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its unmatched sights. Within the reserve, we will visit Gargalo Island, under the watch of the old Genoese tower built on the island's summit accompanied by its lighthouse. Additionally, we will make a break in order to explore the underwater life below us thanks to the snorkeling equipment we provide. Although you might prefer to sunbathe or relax under the radiant Corsican sun. In the meantime, while you are busy having fun, our team will prepare you a delicious French apéritif to make your experience unforgettable.
Back on the boat, we will then continue with Girolata, our last destination for the day. We will stop 1h15 hours there, so you have enough time to visit this cute old town built around an 18th century fortress, but also to try one of the many local restaurants. Naturally, if you prefer doing something else, you will be able to do whatever you prefer. During your visit, you will probably spot the wild cows living in the village, a funny but enjoyable spectacle. Finally, we will get back on the sea and return to our starting point after creating many new memories along your beloved ones.
