Discover one of Corsica's natural jewels, the Scandola Nature Reserve, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, during a boat trip from Ajaccio!

This day trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve from Ajaccio offers you the opportunity to discover in 8 hours some of the most important places in Corsica, located around the Gulf of Porto. The adventure will be divided into 4 different stages, each one dedicated to a particular point of interest in order to make this boat trip from Ajaccio's Tino Rossi port as rewarding as possible!

The boat trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve will start with a visit to this emblematic place of Corsica, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Between caves, cliffs and wild creeks where protected animal and plant species reside, you will discover many new things with the help of information provided by your skippers throughout the morning before heading to the small village of Girolata. A 2 hours stopover will allow you to visit this village which is only accessible by sea, but also to enjoy a picnic or a lunch in a restaurant before returning to sea.

The next part of the boat trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve will take you to the famous Calanches de Piana and their splendid red granite cliffs. Your boat, a very comfortable 12 meters semi-rigid boat that can accommodate up to 12 passengers, will weave its way through the caves of the Calanches to show you the most of them. On the way, you will enjoy a swimming and snorkeling break in crystal clear waters, before heading to Capo Rosso where you will be able to swim again in a magnificent natural pool.

With breathtaking sceneries, this boat trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve from Ajaccio is a not-to-be-missed outing if you want to discover some of the most beautiful places in Corsica, while enjoying explanations and swimming breaks in quiet spots known to skippers. Alone or with friends and family, don't wait any longer and take part in this boat trip to the Scandola Nature Reserve if you are in Ajaccio!

Sehr schöne Schnellboottour. Mut diesen kleineren Schiffen konnten wir sogar in die Höhlen fahren. Für unseren Geschmack hätten die Boote etwas schneller fahren können.
