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?
60 minutes
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.
120 minutes
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.
120 minutes
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.
60 minutes
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.
