From Porto: Scandola and Calanche de Piana Boat Tour｜France

Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Scandola Nature Reserve on a scenic boat tour from Porto. Discover one of the last Mediterranean territories that still provides shelter for endemic flora and birdlife, and admire the impressive rocky landscapes of the Calanche de Piana.

Depart from Porto and cruise through the reserve—rich in marine life and seabirds—on board a semi-rigid boat. The tour also takes you to the Bay of Elbu, a peaceful, secluded inlet known for its turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, offering one of the most unspoiled settings on the Corsican coast. You will then stop in the coastal village of Girolata, where you can marvel at its exceptional setting, surrounded by the sea. In winter, watch how it becomes nearly deserted, with only about fifteen residents remaining.

Venture into the Calanche de Piana and explore an outstanding landscape of pink granite rocks shaped over the centuries by temperature changes, strong winds, and sea spray. Observe the geological diversity of the formations and dive into crystal-blue waters for a refreshing swim in a natural pool.
