Your Itinerary

Nature Reserve of Scandola

Your boat trip can start from the port of Ajaccio or from the port of Porticcio. Shades of blue, lapping waves, unusual rocks… You are there: Scandola. A unique place. A dream landscape. We will make you discover the reserve in our own way, gently, to the rhythm of the waves and the rays of the sun. The Scandola Nature Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessible only by sea, it offers an exceptional landscape that we never tire of. Each of our visits here is a new wonder. The diversity of its fauna and flora, both marine and terrestrial, make it a unique place. We offer you a stop for swimming in the turquoise waters of the Scandola reserve, followed by a wine tasting on board. Who knows, maybe the dolphins will come along at this exceptional moment?

Gulf of Girolata

Unmissable break in the Gulf of Girolata, very close to Scandola. Its pretty beach will welcome us for lunch. Outside of tourist periods, the beach is wild and the cows take up residence there.

Girolata

As for the small village of Girolata, it has the particularity of not having a road! In fact, to get there, you come by boat or on foot via a pretty hiking trail. You will also appreciate its fort dating from the occupation of Genoa in Corsica (15th and 16th centuries): a former protective tower erected on the heights of the gulf to protect it from enemy ships.

Piana

The rest of our sea trip will take us to the sublime creeks of Piana. Sometimes ocher, sometimes pink, these immense granite rocks (of volcanic origin) rise majestically above the sea. Here we are faced with what nature offers perhaps the most beautiful ... They are made up of numerous cavities of different shapes and sizes giving the places all their uniqueness. We will make you discover the pretty caves of the Calanques de Piana. A real moment of wonder in perspective.

Capu Rossu

Stop for swimming in the natural pools of Capo Rosso. To finish our sea trip, we will sail towards Capo Rosso, a sumptuous cape of pink granite enclosing the Gulf of Porto. We can then enjoy a swimming break in its natural pools. An enchanting place that leaves no one indifferent. At the top of Capo Rosso, we can see a defensive Genoese tower from the 16th century; the Tughju tower, next to the Girolata fort discovered earlier in the day. Return to Ajaccio.

Stunning scenery, perfect weather, charming skipper. Lionel was the absolute best. Might want to bring a sweatshirt for the morning departure, though! :)

Sadly we were not lucky with mix of group and style of tour guide who were all French speaking , my friend and I were the only English speaking and whilst we both speak some French we are not very sophisticated yet in fully conversing in French. The group of 12 (including my friend and I ) joined the boat trip and the tour guide immediately began the tour in French and 90% of the 8 hours we were guided in French . Sadly as our French is not up to scratch we missed so much of the information the conversations between the groups . We were largely ignored by the tour guide . We felt isolated , lonely and embarrassed to ask for the information in English. Small efforts were made by ourselves and the group to converse but it was hard for all. The group found it easier to speak with ease with each other . We spoke briefly to the guide to explain how we felt and he stated he would try to make n effort to include us. However it didn’t make that much of an impact. We felt totally gutted as We are used to going on a boat trip and making new friends and learning new things this just didn’t happen. As we felt we were in the wrong for not knowing enough French to enjoy the experience. BTW: We signed up for an English speaking tour 🤷🏾‍♀️

A magnificent sea trip, breathtaking landscapes, incredible sea, a perfect lunch in Girolata... And what's more, our captain Lionel who is super professional and super kind and who knew how to adapt to today's weather conditions - there (and the jellyfish :-)) and find places where you can swim. To do again!! THANKS!!

A magnificent day, accompanied by our skipper Lionel for this excursion, discovered at the Scandola nature reserve, and the Piana coves. Lionel reserved a restaurant for us in the small town of Girolata, a real delight! Despite the wind and rough seas, the excursion was magnificent thanks to the good humor of our skipper!

Thanks to Lionel, very very kind captain, punctual, attentive, professional Superb discovery, unforgettable moment, magnificent place I recommend and we would come back

Magnificent tour. Very friendly guide and explained every detail of the tour to us. He drove the boat very well and took us to paradisiacal places like Girolata, a beautiful fishing island, where we stopped for lunch. The guide offered us wine on the way, which was very good. Scandola is a UNESCO-protected reserve and is an unmissable trip here in Corsica. The only negative point is that the wind is very strong on the boat and you need to dress well and wear sunglasses.

A superb day's excursion with a very pleasant captain. He knows the region well and shares many anecdotes with us. He listens to the desires of his passengers. Above all, it respects the fauna and flora, which is very important to be able to preserve this exceptional natural environment. I recommend it 200% and I will not hesitate to use Neptune Cruise again next time.

A simply perfect sea trip! Great atmosphere, we were amazed at every moment. Thank you Lionel for these magical moments and your good humor!! We did the Sanguinaires Islands walk and also the full day excursion to the coves, to anyone who is still hesitant, go for it!! 🔥👌🏼😁

It was truly magnificent, I don't even know what I could say. With my boyfriend we did the discovery and Enchantée excursions, two different ones and both were wonderful. We thank Captain "Lionel" very much, he showed us some truly magnificent spots and not too "touristy" like truly privileged people. There were about 10 of us for the two excursions, that's good but we don't need more people, it would be too many I think. I would definitely come back to Ajaccio but I would also come back to Neptune Croisière! Really thank you again to them, unforgettable moments!!!
