With turquoise waters that can reach 26°C in high summer, the Cerbicale Islands (Forana Island, Maestro Maria Island, Piana Island and Pietricaggiosa Island) are ideal for snorkelling in Porto-Vecchio, in southern Corsica. Just a 10-minute ride by boat from the bay of Saint-Cyprien, they are the playground of the Sub Tortue diving centre, which offers guided snorkelling tours. The concept? Equipped with a wetsuit, fins, mask and snorkel, you will take to the water in complete autonomy from a boat to discover the waters of the Cerbicale Islands Nature Reserve, an experience far more rewarding and fun than simple snorkelling from a beach!
After being welcomed at the dive centre in Lecci, which is equipped with everything you need for your comfort (changing rooms, hot showers, toilets, etc.), you will board a boat in the bay of Saint-Cyprien to go to a snorkelling site in the Cerbicale Islands. You will then take to the water for a 1 to 1.5-hour snorkelling tour. You will then take to the water for a 1h to 1h30 snorkelling trip, in complete autonomy. The guide will remain on board the boat to keep an eye on you. Between barracudas, sars, groupers, saups, starfish, nudibranchs, etc., you will have no shortage of things to see in the crystal-clear waters of the Cerbicale Islands!
Accessible from the age of 6, as long as you know how to swim, this snorkelling excursion in the Cerbicale Islands Nature Reserve offers a great aquatic adventure in Porto-Vecchio. Whether you want to discover the biodiversity of this exceptional site or simply have a good time swimming in a sublime setting, you are sure to come away delighted from this snorkelling adventure!
