Boat trip to Girolata and the Scandola Nature Reserve from Porto, Corsica

Embark for a 2.5 hours boat tour in the Scandola Nature Reserve and the charming village of Girolata from the port of Porto!

Both a land and sea nature reserve, Scandola is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its biodiversity including endemic Corsican species. With its turquoise waters and its magnificent landscapes, it is a site to visit absolutely by boat from Porto, while passing by the pretty isolated village of Girolata!

It is on board of a comfortable offshore boat that you will leave in small group of 12 passengers for this cruise to the Scandola Nature Reserve and to the village of Girolata. You will leave the port of Porto to go directly to Scandola, a natural haven of peace to photograph without moderation. You will probably see ospreys, a medium-sized bird of prey emblematic of the Gulf of Porto, and maybe even dolphins!

After a tour along the coast of the reserve, you will head at moderate speed to the village of Girolata where you will enjoy a 30 minutes stopover to walk around it, rest on its small beach or have a drink on the terrace of a café to admire the view of the sea and the coast. Then it's time to return to Porto without going too far from the coast to admire other sites such as the beach of Tuara, Punta Castellucciu and Monte Senino, the arch of Purtellu or the beach of Bussaghlia.

Rich in breathtaking landscapes, this boat trip to Girolata and the Scandola Nature Reserve from the port of Porto is an experience not to be missed to discover the Corsican nature!
