As we continue, we pass the Saint-Antoine point, the southernmost tip of the island, where the sea meets dramatic cliffs. It is an iconic spot, perfect for capturing stunning photos. Our route then takes us past the majestic limestone cliffs of Bonifacio, carved by wind and sea, and the mysterious marine caves.

Beautiful tour The Lavezzi Islands are fantastic, but also very crowded in August. Contrary to what was stated, only French was spoken on the boat. I think at least the safety instructions should be given in English. The audio guide was great, though. Due to the large waves, our second swimming stop had to be cancelled.
Our guide Elsa was excellent and very friendly. The boat was pleasant and not too big. The cruise was well-paced with visits and swimming stops.
A very nice boat tour along the coast, great views of the limestone cliffs near Bonifacio, German audio guide and a 3-hour stop for snorkeling at the Lavezzi Islands... a thoroughly successful day!!
