Ajaccio/Porticcio: Scandola & Piana Semi-Rigid Boat Day Trip｜France

New departure point: enjoy a location with easier, more convenient, and more affordable parking. Park nearby and start your experience quickly and stress-free.

Depart from Ajaccio or Porticcio aboard a powerful semi-rigid boat for an exhilarating day exploring some of Corsica’s most breathtaking natural sites. From the very first moments, the wild coastline unfolds before your eyes, with turquoise waters and wind-carved cliffs. Head toward the legendary Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where volcanic formations, hidden caves, and glowing red cliffs create an almost surreal landscape.

Cruise close to these spectacular rock formations and let yourself be swept away by the magic of the place. With a bit of luck, you may spot cormorants, fish, or even dolphins that sometimes follow the boats through this pristine marine sanctuary.

Your first stop is Girolata, a timeless village accessible only by boat or by foot. Nestled between turquoise sea and fiery cliffs, this remote hamlet offers a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. Enjoy free time to explore, relax on the beach, or have lunch by the water (not included).

After this break, continue toward the awe-inspiring Calanques de Piana, one of Corsica’s most iconic landscapes. These towering red granite formations, sculpted by millennia of erosion, form a natural maze that your semi-rigid boat can navigate up close. Every turn reveals a new wonder: arches, narrow passages, dramatic peaks.

Your adventure then leads you to Capo Rosso, where crystal-clear waters invite you to enjoy a refreshing swim in a stunning natural setting. Dive in, swim, or simply take in the incredible panorama.

On the return journey, relax and let the warm light of late afternoon illuminate the cliffs along the coast.

A spectacular, immersive, and unforgettable excursion—perfect for discovering Corsica in all its raw beauty.
