5.00Excellent tour, in a very confortable boat with a very professional crew. The views were amazing, steep rock formations rising from the blue sea, bays and sea caves. All complemented with stops to visit a small isolated sea village and to swim in those blue waters. Perfect half day tour
Very good day!

5.00Very good activity. The reserve of Scandola is superb. The coves too but we spent less time there. Girolata: little interest. Restaurants everywhere. We stayed there 2 hours but 6 picnic tables for all tourists who disembark and no shade. The only downside is the short break for stopping swimming...too short and not made for snorkeling. Too bad. Otherwise, the boat is comfortable, 2 toilets, very clean. The crew is super and very rigorous about safety. Thanks for coming out.

5.00The cruise was great! Discovery of the piana creeks, the scandola reserve and an excursion to the village of girolata. As a bonus, a break to refresh yourself with diving equipment available. And all this accompanied by a very smiling and accessible Guide, I highly recommend!
