About this tour
A four-hour evening cruise departing from Sagone or Cargèse explores Corsica's most dramatic coastline aboard an intimate 12-person speedboat. You'll navigate UNESCO-listed Scandola Reserve, the Gulf of Porto, and the Calanques de Piana—towering granite cliffs accessible only by water. A snorkel stop in a secluded bay precedes sunset drinks on deck with local Corsican wine and nibbles, guided by a captain who knows these waters intimately.

What to expect
You'll board a nimble semi-rigid boat designed to slip into sea caves and narrow channels larger vessels can't reach. The captain navigates close to sheer red-rock formations whilst pointing out geological features and marine life. Mid-voyage, you'll anchor in a wild bay to mask-snorkel the seabed—gear provided. As light softens, everyone gathers topside with a glass of wine to watch the sun drop behind the Calanques. The boat rocks gently; the pace is unhurried but the sensation is decidedly sporty.
