English speakers beware - this tour is 99% in French! We were extremely disappointed to find that during 5 hour boat journey, there were only occasional pre-recorded snippets about Scandola, many recordings which ended up getting cut off by the guide when he started talking again. The boat is also too big to go near the rock formations or into any of the smaller areas where we saw many smaller boats going through. The stop over in Girolata doesn't have much to see despite restaurants and one over priced souvenir shop. There were some cows though which was fun, but the beach is covered in dried kelp and is not very nice. I regret booking this tour instead of paying a bit more for one of the smaller boats with an English guide where we would have enjoyed and seen a lot more in half the time. Don't waste your time and money unless you speak French.

Overall pretty good. Helpful and pleasant crew, great views of the mentioned highlights, fast boat. Good price/quality. Two remarks, which were important for us personally: both the guided information and swimming/snorkeling were a bit disappointing. We booked an English-guided tour, since our French is very limited. There was 'some' English tour information about the surroundings, but around 95% is in French. Only on a few designated spots a brief English (and Italian) recording was played through the speakers. I was sorry we missed so much info. We also didn't get to swim and snorkeling at the beautiful Capo Rosso, like it is mentioned in the itinerary. Not sure why, because the weather was absolutely perfect (30 degrees, sunny and very calm sea), we were 'in season', and there were others swimming there. Instead we swam at a pretty generic spot with deep water (compared to the rest of the island) without any of the spectacular views above or below the water that we'd been treated to in the hours before the swim. Again, these are personal. Overall pretty good, but I'd wish to have known these better beforehand. Thanks!

The boat trip on Wednesday in English was cancelled due to weather yet the weather on Thursday was the same. We actually went. on Thursday and the tour was in French only. We had 2 hours in a small village for lunch where all of the tables in the open restaurants were reserved. Therefore, no place to eat. Perhaps more information on lunch reservations or insist on bringing a picnic as 7.5 hour without food is unreasonable. Other than being unable to understand the explanations and unavailable restaurants, the sites were beautiful. It was obvious that some others on the same boat had reservations. How to know?

The crew provided superb service, skilful navigation and great company. We would hire the same service again (provider: Nave Va) without hesitation!

I strongly recommend the tour and the team. Scandola is beautiful and unique and the team makes a great effort to show you the highlights up and close. You don’t feel like a tourist but like a friend!

The ride and the locations were very picturesque, especially the Scondola bio reserve area and the stop at Girolata was fantastic. But not for people who are not fluent in French as the guide keeps explaining the whole history and the geography of the location but unfortunately not so much in English although in the booking it mentions English, French as languages available which is misleading. For people speaking French, definitely a worth visiting, although I would recommend against if you aren't.

En cette fin avril, la météo est superbe. Nous garons notre véhicule sur le parking situé sur la route, au bas de la tour, génoise comme indiqué . Nous embarquons à l’heure précise sur le pneumatique de 12 places très bien équipé et confortable. Attention toutefois aux personnes trop fragiles du dos ou trop émotives, à pleine vitesse, ça secoue un peu !N’oubliez pas une petite laine, si la température extérieure n’excède pas 22°. Bernard s’avérera être un bon capitaine, mais aussi un excellent guide. Les paysages sont magnifiques, et grâce à ce bateau effilé , nous pouvons rentrer dans les failles et passages les plus étroits. Nous ne ferons pas la baignade dans la piscine naturelle, car à cette période, l’eau n’est qu’à 17° 18°, dommage. Retour au bout de 4h30 avec des images magnifiques plein les yeux.

Nous avons passé une excellente journée, de magnifiques paysages avec de bonnes explications de la part de nos 2 accompagnateur a bord. Seul bémol énormément de touristes a Girolata, il a était compliqué d'avoir une place pour manger dans un établissement, prévoir de réserver a l'avance.

We are really not happy, we received a cancellation call today at 4:47 p.m. for our scheduled departure tomorrow morning at 9:15 a.m.… Especially since we turned our entire visit program on the island upside down to be present on this specific day in Sagone. The 24 hours not respected! And the reason…. “Cause of not enough people on the boat.” A lack of professionalism on their part.

Very friendly welcome. Very nice visit. We took lots of photos. The landscapes are magnificent. We were recommended a restaurant for the stopover in Girolata...le gobi. We had a great day for a very reasonable price. Excursion to do without hesitation.
