What you can expect

  • Spend your day exploring the wonders of Southern Corsica on a boat tour by RIB boat and take in spectacular views of the surrounding nature.

    Start your excursion onboard a 12-seater RIB boat from the port of Cargèse to discover the impressive Corsican landscapes between the Scandola Nature Reserve and the Gulf of Girolata.

    Head north and pass the Pointe d'Omigna to admire the remarkable Genoese Tower, made of granite with feldspar crystals and its rocky surroundings. Continue towards the Pointe d'Urchinu and the Arone beach.

    Once arrived at Capo Rosso, visit the caves and the characteristic red rocky coves of the Island of Beauty. Take a look in the clear waters and admire the submerged rocks at the foot of the cliffs.

    Cross the Gulf of Porto to reach the Scandola reserve, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Observe the rich variety of flora and fauna in the area, most of which are protected species, as the fish-eagle or the grouper. Explore the rocky rifts and the volcanic cliffs.

    Next, the boat will drop anchor in Girolata for a 2-hour stop. You can take advantage of this time to go for a walk, enjoy some lunch or take a short dip in the water. Here you can admire the renovated fort on the point of land, above the beach.

    Back on the boat, you will pass Capo Senino, one of the highest caps of Europa and head towards the famous Calanques de Pian before returning to the port of Cargèse.
