What you can expect

Discover the west coast of Corsica between Cargese and Scandola from a comfortable passenger boat small enough to sneak in all the caves and coves.
Enjoy the intense colours of the afternoon on the red rocks, the blue water and the green maquis.

From the port of Cargese, start for an incredible journey.
As soon as you leave the port, admire the Omigna tower, entirely renovated a few years ago. Then head to Arone and its long sandy beach .

Start by discover the tiny cave located at the very start of the Capo Rosso, when the rock change of colour.
Along the coast, the water is so clear that you can appreciate the seabed by transparency.
Enter the bay of monk seal, also called the “swimming pool” because of its so blue and clear water. Admire the huge nests of the fish-eagle, a protected specie.

Go trough the Arch of Capo Rosso and continue to the Reserve of Scandola, by the Gulf of Porto.

Enter the Reserve of Scandola and go into the faults in the very heart of the rock.
Admire the landscape made of volcanic rock. Listen to the comments of the corsican captain about the geological formations and the history of the site and let your imagination run wild in front of the strange shape of the stone.

Navigate into the waters of the Reserve and discover the island of Gargalo, the extreme west point of Corsica.
Reach the Gulf of Elbo and try to see the grouper that is often encountered in the faults, as the oblades and many others species.
Enjoy the shimmering glint of the sun on the sea at the feet of the cliffs.

Make a 40-minute break on land in the surprising village Girolata. Take benefits of a walk towards the old fort or just rest on the sand of the beach and swim. Girolata is really small and authentic because it is only accessible by boat or by a footpath.

Take the way back and enjoy the magnificent colours of the end afternoon, the best time of day for pictures.
Have a look to Capo Senino on the return and experience the discovery of the red rock of the Calanques de Piana with the colours of the sunset.

Enjoy the arrival at Cargese, illuminated at nightfall.
