Cargèse: Scandola and Piana Boat Tour with Stop at Girolata｜France

Discover the Scandola Reserve and unwind far from the bustle of the city surrounded by nature, guided by a local family team!
Embark on a comfortable 49-seater passenger boat (shade and toilets on board) able to navigate through the narrowest passages of the Gulf of Porto!

Start the tour in the direction of the Pointe d'Omigna to see the beautiful Genoese Tower, made of granite with feldspar crystals and its rocky surroundings, before heading to the remarkable Arone Beach.

Go through the Arch of Capo Rosso and visit the caves of the site. Take pictures of the characteristic red rock of the Island of Beauty. Admire the odd shapes of the rocks and listen to the comments of the local crew to learn the history of the place. Enjoy the beautiful and clear water in the coves, especially the bay of the monk seals.

Continue and cross the Gulf of Porto towards the Reserve of Scandola, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire the volcanic rocks, remains of the volcano that collapsed centuries ago.
Enjoy the way the pilot takes you in narrow passages and faults. Watch the fish-eagles which nest on the rocky outcrop. Encounter the wild goats, the grouper which live around the faults and many other species.

Around noon, make a 2-hour break in Girolata where you can enjoy the shaded terraces of the restaurants and cafes or the beach of the village.

Back on the boat, you will pass Capo Senino and head towards the famous Calanques de Piana before returning to the port of Cargèse, with a lot of amazing memories in your head.
