Beautiful experience - I recommend the fast boat which was ancge great fun (especially for my 12-year-old son). Experienced captain, nice , kind and explained everything even with good English. A pleasant exception in an island where often only French is spoken with tourists and you are not so welcoming is friendly.

Experience to do absolutely! - We chose the sunset formula and we do not regret it... the Guide was very friendly, the number of participants limited to 12 is perfect and the chosen boat allowed us to move as we please during the cruise!
The landscapes are spectacular and entering the caves with the boat is a wonder... finally, swimming with masks and snorkels to observe the fish closes the exit in style. We highly recommend this walk!

Great experience - The visit was very well organized , very friendly pace and well commented by our Captain Nico who shared his experience.
We were coming to the end at a nice cruising speed when suddenly ... a dozen dolphins made us pleasant surprise of their visit.
Our captain slowed down directly and made us enjoy this magical moment even if it meant being late to port.
Thanks to the team

Fabulous! - Magic!
We spent a beautiful late afternoon at sea, we keep a wonderful memory of swimming in the open sea facing the cliffs in turquoise water but also creeks, the scandola reserve, the port and the atypical beach of Girolata and sunset! We liked everything!
It is to be done! Porto adventure on top!
A little hello to Lucile our captain.
Happy season, we'll be back!

Feel free it's really great - Hello everyone,
Visit the creeks by boat to do absolutely, it allows to see everything from a different angle. And especially with the comments of the visit that explains the whole geology of the site it is really very interesting, with in addition a small osprey in their nests. And swimming with exceptional fish. Thanks to our Female Guide who even took care to comment on the visit for English speakers.

Beautiful walk - Beautiful walk mixing turquoise waters, caves and volcanic stones. We could also see the pretty village of Girolata and its Genoa tower.
To top off this walk, a refreshing swim.
Many thanks to Captain Dimitri for his sympathy and his historical and geological explanations.
