About the activity
Bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east, Porto-Vecchio is the third largest town on the Island of Beauty and the starting point for this boat excursion, heading towards some of the gems of southern Corsica. Aboard the Avventura, a comfortable boat designed for a maximum of 12 passengers, you will set off for 4 memorable hours at sea, discovering the wonders of the Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve.
You will first head towards the Cerbicales Islands, where, if luck is on your side, you may cross paths with cormorants, Yelkouan shearwaters, gulls, and pallid swifts in their natural habitat. You will then continue towards the island of Cavallo to admire its striking and architecturally impressive villas from a distance. Next comes the most eagerly anticipated moment of the trip: anchoring at the Lavezzi Islands for a swimming and snorkelling break. Located 10 km south-east of the town of Bonifacio, this 200-hectare archipelago is made up of 23 granite islands, islets, and reefs surrounded by crystal-clear waters.
