5.00We will never forget this wonderful adventure! Swimming at sea with a snorkeling mask was part of it. ... Only small shadow on the board: the climbing ladder on the boat not very passable at my age but I do not regret at all. To do again!!! Thank you to everyone who helped me. Team on top 👍

5.00A very nice walk with our captain Bernard who knew how to make us discover beautiful corners, then a stop also of 30 minutes in Girolata where you can taste artisan ice cream, and other Corsican specialties. Despite confusing his right with his left we were told at the start, LOL Bernard brought us back safely! It was particularly friendly and we will keep an excellent memory of this afternoon and in addition we had the sun!!! But Bernard had nothing to do with it! Thanks for everything.
Very nice day at sea with explanations at the top of our captain.

5.00Bernard our captain and guide, made us live an unforgettable afternoon. What a joy when we entered the caves of the coves of Corsican songs accompanied this approach. It was absolutely magical. Thanks to him for his experience, his mastery of navigation and all these emotions he shared with us. A great moment that we are not about to forget.
Great time
