Unforgettable experience - It was an incredible and unforgettable experience! A first for us in Corsica with my boyfriend and this day was perfect, Captain Baptiste was very kind and made us enjoy this boat day to the fullest. I, who am not initially confident in a boat, really loved the experience and if I had to do it again we would do it a thousand times! We 100% recommend this boat day

Magic - The views were magnificent! A moment of pure happiness and disconnection, to be done without hesitation. The skippers are very friendly and in control of their boat.

Superb with one downside. - Magnificent landscapes, we loved this excursion. The drivers Olivier and Baptiste are professionals and the atmosphere with the 10 Bordeaux girls was great. Only downside: the loud music when entering the cave where the cormorants nest. Respect for nature above all.
