Amazing views - Great trip, amazing views and superb commentary by Hugo. Be prepared to get wet from the spray during the longer high speed passages.

Extraordinary speed boat outing - Visit to the coves of Piana and passage through its caves, stop at the village of Girolata and admiration of the Scandola reserve. What wonders of nature and in addition the very interesting explanations and stories from Nicolas. A magnificent sharing with some exhilarating sensations of speed thanks to Hugo's driving talent.

Beyond our expectations - We explored the Piana coves by boat from Porto in Corsica and discovered the “3 wonders”. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the stop at the fishing village of Girolata was a highlight. Our guides, Hugo and Nicolas, were fantastic and are actually two more wonders, so there are actually 5 wonders. Nicolas explains very well and conveys his love for Corsica, while Hugo, who is just starting out, was particularly brilliant. We wish him an excellent start to his career. As a bonus, we saw a sperm whale, an incredible experience which made this excursion beyond our expectations! We are the two swimmers from the south of France, from Montpellier, who opened the season!

Relaxing walk and magnificent landscapes - The whole ride is magnificent, especially the caves and being able to get as close as possible to the coast. The captain of the zodiac Nico was very friendly, with a lot of humor and his comments throughout the ride were very informative. Nothing to complain about, everything was perfect, I highly recommend your company.
