This tour offers an opportunity to sail as close as possible to the stunning sights of the Gulf of Porto. Departing from Lava Beach, the port of Ajaccio, or the port of Porticcio, participants will sail towards the island of Gargalo, which is overlooked by its historic Genoese tower. This marks the beginning of the Scandola Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Participants will explore the caves of Capo Rosso before heading to Scandola, where a refreshing swimming break awaits. On the return journey, the charming hamlet of Girolata, a quintessential Corsican village accessible only by sea or on foot, will be revealed. A lunch stop in Girolata (not included) can be enjoyed at a restaurant in the square. On the way back, another swimming break will be offered, allowing participants to explore the underwater wonders of this Natura 2000 classified reserve.
