Take a tour of the Gulf of Porto and discover the richness of its emblematic landscapes during a 3.5 hours boat trip!

Take a tour of the Gulf of Porto and discover the richness of its emblematic landscapes during a 3.5 hours boat trip!

On the west coast of Corsica, the Gulf of Porto is a maritime area with sites listed as UNESCO World Heritage since 1983: between the Piana creeks, the Scandola Nature Reserve and the Gulf of Girolata, there is no shortage of breathtaking panoramas! And to be able to reach them in the easiest way and to visit them, the boat is still the best solution.

During 3.5 hours, you will enjoy a boat trip in the Gulf of Porto, with 4 main points of interest, under the comments of the captain who will be pleased to share his knowledge about each of them:

- the calanques of Piana : impressive rock formations and turquoise waters await you, as well as caves to which you will have access thanks to the small size of the boat and the skill of the captain;

- Capo Rosso : discovery of the most western point of Corsica and its Genoese tower, the Turghiu tower, with a swimming and snorkeling break in a natural pool if the weather allows it;

- The Scandola Nature Reserve: home to a rich biodiversity that you can observe, including ospreys, a medium-sized bird of prey living along the coast of the Gulf of Porto;

- Girolata: a small isolated village where the boat will stop for 30 minutes to allow you to visit it or simply to enjoy its pleasant setting from its beach or the terrace of a café.

And if you are lucky, you may even see dolphins during your boat trip to the calanques of Piana and the Scandola Nature Reserve!

Halfway between Ajaccio and Calvi, the Gulf of Porto is a popular destination, so book your boat trip in the gulf quickly so you don't miss out on visiting this must-see site in Corsica!

Une activité à ne surtout pas manquer à Porto. Nous avons réalisé la balade de 3h30, avec découverte des calanques de Piana, de la réserve de Scandola, du village de Girolata avec un petit arrêt pour découvrir ce magnifique coin de paradis et hors du temps. Petit plus lors de notre sortie qui a débuté à 16h et qui s’est terminée avec un merveilleux coucher de soleil. Le bateau est très confortable, équipé pour accueillir un petit groupe. Encore merci pour tout, grâce à l’équipe de Porto Adrénaline, notre petit séjour à Porto a été plus qu’incroyable 😍 Nous les recommandons les yeux fermés !
