Description

Set out from Porto on Corsica’s dramatic coast for an eco-friendly boat tour through the breathtaking Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site only accessible by sea. Glide silently across the water aboard a hybrid boat, ensuring minimal impact on this pristine environment while you enjoy uninterrupted views from your priority seat.

As you journey along the rugged coastline, keep your eyes peeled for coastal caves, rare seabirds like ospreys and peregrine falcons, and vibrant marine life. The crew provides engaging live commentary in French, sharing fascinating insights into the reserve’s unique ecology and conservation efforts.

A highlight of your adventure is a 30-minute stop at the secluded village of Girolata, nestled between the sea and wild Corsican hills. Take a stroll through this charming hamlet, enjoy a refreshing swim, or watch for the famous wild cows that wander freely among the cafés and along the beach.

For those seeking more, you can extend your experience with an optional tour to the Calanche de Piana. Marvel at the striking pink granite formations shaped by centuries of wind and sea, and capture unforgettable photos of this geological wonder.

This intimate tour accommodates up to 15 guests and lasts about three hours, with the option to bring your own snacks and drinks. Secure your spot on this unforgettable Corsican adventure—check availability and book your eco-friendly boat tour now!
