Your Itinerary

Porto Santo Stefano

Depart at 9:45 AM from Porto Santo Stefano to discover two of the pearls of the Tuscan archipelago, the islands of Giglio and Giannutri. Explore a place ideal for marine lovers and divers alike. Don’t miss the visit to the village of Giglio Castello, ranked among the most beautiful villages in Italy. See Giannutri, a small paradise with no cars or roads and no major tourism structures, in fact still dominated by the low Mediterranean scrub with its colors and scents. Villa Domizia was built in the first half of the second century A.D. by the Enobarbi, the imperial family that owned Giannutri. They spared no expense to build this residence with a breath-taking view of the coast.  Then visit Giglio island, characterized by its mainly granitic ground and by the typical Mediterranean vegetation, in part formed by man with terracing to allow cultivation of vines and olive trees. The coast, high and steep, is also generally jagged and interspersed with many rocks and a few bays. On the east side, see the coves of Porto, of Arenella and Cannelle, to the west see the long and wide beach of Campese. Enjoy a full meal of fish comfortably seated inside an eco-friendly cruise boat before you return at 6:30 PM.

Faro di Giannutri

After 1 hour navigation stop at Giannutri's island. It is the southernmost island in the Tuscan Archipelago and can be reached from Porto Santo Stefano or Isola del Giglio, 12 and 15 kilometres away, respectively. Boats land at the Bay of Spalmatoio, even if at times, depending on the wind, the boat can arrive at Maestra Bay. The two bays are the only points where the rocky calcareous island opens onto a small beach and where it is possible to swim in the water – swimming is forbidden in the southern part of the island and in some of the northern areas. Giannutri is divided into Zones A and B by the Arcipelago Toscano National Park, where there are the most restrictions.

The tour itself was great! Great location, swimming and food! They had us be there for 8:30 am and only left at 10 am waiting for 100 people to board. Everything was in Italian so we did not understand anything that was going on. If you do not like or do not speak Italian I would think twice.

We had high hopes for this trip and arrived at the spot at 8:30 am as requested. We only left at 10 am and had to wait for the 100 people coming on this trip. The location was beautiful, swimming was great and food awesome! I highly recommend if you do not understand Italian do not go. Everything was in Italian and we had no clue to what was going on.

Nice staff. Good food. Lovely day on the water. Wind prevented going to far side of Giglio so no snorkeling, tiny beach. No English tour. Still a fun day!

A very comfortable way to see Giglio and Giannutri, with plenty of time to enjoy the islands. We were assisted from the very beginning (very clear instructions on where to park and go). The staff on board is polite and the boat is very clean. There is plenty of time to spend on each island, and you don’t feel rushed. I appreciated that you could pick to either be assisted by a guide or to wander and freely explore. Timings are excellent, so you are never on the islands under the scorching sun.

Stupenda giornata a bordo della M/N Revenge! Tra le acque cristalline di Giannutri e ľIsola del Giglio, all'insegna di disponiblità e cordialità! Buon pranzo a base di pesce ed ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, consigliatissima!

Spinti dalle tante recensioni positive, abbiamo deciso di provare anche noi questa esperienza. Per carità, orari rispettati ma è stato l'unico pregio in tutto ciò. Innanzitutto il tempo trascorso sulla nave è veramente troppo: da Porto Santo Stefano a Giannutri e da Giannutri al Giglio occorrono un'ora e mezza ogni volta. Ma partiamo dall'organizzazione della nave: era piena di gente e quindi tanta confusione, bimbi che piangevano, cani che abbaiavano, ma oltre a questo il comandante dava delle indicazioni al microfono e non si sentiva nulla. Il cantante che ci intratteneva (cantante è un parolone) non si è mai fermato, nemmeno nel viaggio di ritorno quando tutti dormivano sulle poltrone, stremati dalla giornata. Dulcis in fundo il fotografo che si ostinava a fotografare anche chi non voleva (foto di scarse qualità) e che faceva più caos di tutti i passeggeri messi insieme. Pranzo senza infamia e senza lode, se non fosse che eravamo tutti appiccati e che io, essendo celiaca, nel momento della prenotazione ho selezionato la voce "senza glutine" sul loro sito, mi sono ritrovata la cameriera che era difficoltà nel dirmi se il risotto fosse contaminato, così non contenta mi ha aggiunto "non si preoccupi sta arrivando la pasta" e alla mia domanda se fosse senza glutine lei ha strabuzzato gli occhi. Ma passiamo alla visita delle due isole. Giannutri è un'isola abbandonata anche da Dio. Non c'è praticamente nulla, se non una piccola piazza in cui ci sono un bar e un ristorante. La spiaggia era molto difficile da accedere (attenzione se ci sono anziani e/o bambini) e l'acqua sporca perché la cala non era nient'altro che il porto dove attraccavano le navi. Il giglio è molto più grande, con vari locali con souvenir e bar carini (attenzione, prezzi molto alti, es un caffè €2), ma qui eravamo talmente stanchi che non abbiamo avuto la forza di informarci su eventuali mezzi che ci portassero al castello. Così siamo andati in spiaggia e nonostante questa fosse più accessibile, anche qui l'acqua era sporca. Insomma, se volete un consiglio risparmiate questi soldi, o perlomeno fate prima a prendere un traghetto soltanto per l'isola del Giglio, perché è l'unica che merita un po' di più.

Mini-crociera di una giornata che abbiano trovato davvero ben organizzata. Molto bella l’isola di Giannutri, consigliata per un bel bagno in un mare stupendo o per fare snorkelling. Anche la visita al Giglio è stata molto piacevole avendo approfittato di una visita guidata di Giglio castello. E poi in ultimo non si può non menzionare lo staff al completo, dal capitano al cuoco, passando per le guide al personale di bordo che con il loro savoir fare hanno reso questa gita davvero piacevole in un clima festoso. Bravi!!
