Entirety of sites PIANA - SCANDOLA - GIROLATA and return to the port

Treat yourself to an unforgettable day with Le Goéland, the specialist in sea tours in Porto, to discover the three natural treasures of the gulf: the Scandola Reserve, the isolated village of Girolata, and the majestic Calanques of Piana.

This sea excursion in Corsica begins with a crossing to the fascinating Scandola Nature Reserve, an iconic UNESCO site, famous for its volcanic cliffs, secret caves, and biodiversity. A guided cruise by our passionate captain will reveal the richness of this protected site.

Next, head towards Girolata, a small fishing village accessible only by sea, suspended in time at the heart of Corsica.

After this first part, return to the Porto harbor for a short break. You’ll have the chance to stretch your legs, grab a refreshment, or change clothes before heading back out to sea.

The second part of this cruise within the Gulf of Porto will take you to the spectacular Calanques of Piana, a true mineral cathedral sculpted by the wind and the sea. Sail through the natural arches, explore the sea caves, and admire the color contrasts between red granite and turquoise sea.
