Ajaccio: Excursion, Sea Trip, Scandola Nature Reserve｜France

A must-see! Towering cliffs, inaccessible islets, and numerous caves...
Come and discover one of the wonders of the west coast of Corsica: the natural reserve of
Scandola. This natural habitat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will offer you a
splendid show. With its land and sea fauna and flora, the reserve is full of secrets as well as beauty. The diversity and richness of this nature reserve will make your day trip authentic and particularly informative, allowing you to observe nature from its most beautiful angle.
Embark early in the morning aboard our boats for a day trip full of surprises.
Head to the Pointe de Scandola for a one-hour trip with a swimming stop to discover the most hidden places in the reserve. Our boats will sail along the unmissable Ryolite cliffs, with their dizzying peaks and inaccessible islets, and will enter most of the caves, which are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, offering you a particularly pleasant show.
The boat will resume its journey around noon to reach a small fishing village, Girolata. This hamlet in the municipality of Osani, on the west coast of Corsica, is renowned for its golf course of the same name, in the Corsica Regional Natural Park. You'll be offered a 2-hour break to enjoy lunch in the heart of the village. Several restaurants will welcome you, allowing you to taste local products while facing the sea. Reservation is recommended. It will also be possible to have a picnic on the beaches, accompanied by the wildlife.
The boat trip to Scandola will continue towards the Calanche de Piana, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spots on the West Coast. Its very unique red granite rocks and its rocks with different heart shapes arouse the curiosity of many travelers. The boat will follow the coast and slip into the caves, providing you with a magnificent show. Then head to Capo Rosso to conclude this trip. Stop for a refreshing swim and dive into the heart of the turquoise waters. This transparent water will give you the opportunity to see a multitude of fish, so get your masks and snorkels ready!
