RIB Boat Trip to the Calanques de Piana with Snorkeling

What to Expect

Discover Corsica's hidden gems while swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean on our RIB boat trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve, Girolata and the Calanques de Piana. Our boat trip starts from the quaint village of Cargèse, where you will board a powerful and nimble vessel. With a capacity of only 12 people, this boat is perfect for small groups and intimate outings. You will enjoy a unique boating experience, with the ability to navigate into the most secluded spots. The boat is equipped with snorkeling masks, waterproof storage, and rain jackets to ensure your comfort and safety, all under the guidance of our experienced captain.

Our adventure begins along the coastline, passing the Genoese Tower of Omigna and Arone Beach, before entering the spectacular Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its towering cliffs, sea caves, crystal-clear waters and exceptional biodiversity. We then continue through the Golfe de Porto before stopping for around 30 minutes in the charming village of Girolata, where you can stroll through the village or enjoy a refreshing break.

The journey continues to the majestic Red Cliffs of the Calanques de Piana, where we will explore the impressive sea caves and the famous Capo Rosso arch, admiring the extraordinary rock formations and vibrant colours. One of the trip's most memorable moments will be a stop in a paradisiacal cove for swimming and snorkeling (weather permitting), where the water's clarity will leave you in awe. This tour is perfect for those looking for a not-too-long adventure along the coast of Corsica, combining relaxation with the discovery of some of the island's most beautiful spots.
