Activity description
Come and explore the Scandola nature reserve and the Gulf of Porto aboard the small friendly boat of Croisières Grand Bleu!
During the Grand Tour Scandola cruise, alongside Dominique the captain and his son Joseph the sailor, both children of the island, you will discover, from Cargèse, a jewel of the Corsican coastline: the fantastic Scandola nature reserve. Listed as a Unesco world heritage site, the Scandola nature reserve is a mecca of marine biodiversity. You may cross the path of groups of dolphins, ospreys, wild goats and many other species. True pleasures for the eyes, the volcanic rock cliffs and the crystal blue waters offer breathtaking wild landscapes.
Croisières Grand Bleu offers two options for this cruise, the Grand Tour Scandola Day Cruise and the Grand Tour Scandola Afternoon Cruise.
Aboard the small passenger boat Grand Bleu II, the Grand Tour Scandola Day cruise will take you from Cargese to Omigna Point and its Genoese tower, as well as the caves and coves of Capo Rosso. After crossing the Gulf of Porto, you will visit the Scandola reserve and have a two-hour break in the small village of Girolata for lunch and a swim. Finally, you will visit the calanques of Piana, before returning to the port of Cargèse.
The Grand Tour Scandola Afternoon cruise offers exactly the same itinerary with the magnificent colors of the setting sun. However, the break in the village of Girolata is only 40 minutes.
Come and discover the wonders of the Gulf of Porto on board the Grand Bleu II!
