Scandola and Girolata Boat Trip

Early in the morning, we will meet at Tino Rossi pier to board the boat for a trip along the western coast of Corsica island.

Throughout the maritime journey, you will see impressive views of the coastline's unique rock formations, which are a sanctuary for various birds, including the peregrine falcon and the osprey.

The boat will reach the peninsula of Scandola, a land and marine nature reserve designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. This area features volcanic rock formations that rise from the sea in striking shapes and colors. You will cruise beneath the grottos formed by millennia of erosion, witnessing the contrasting red and yellow tones against the deep blue Mediterranean.

The journey continues to the Gulf of Girolata, where the 18th-century Genovese tower overlooks the fishing village of Girolata. A two-hour stop will be made for you to explore the picturesque streets and enjoy local cuisine in nearby restaurants.

On the return journey, you will pass the scenic coves of Piana and Cape Rosso, which also feature remarkable volcanic landscapes.
