Set out with a small group (maximum 12 privileged guests) for a more personalized experience as a 90-minute ride by RIB (rigid inflatable boat) whisks you to the Calanques. This indescribably beautiful area, both a marine and terrestrial wildlife sanctuary, is a must-see.
The Calanques are part of the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, covering the Scandola Peninsula's impressive porphyritic rock mass. The vegetation here is an outstanding example of Mediterranean scrubland. Seagulls, cormorants and sea eagles make their homes here.
Swim in the Calanques' clear waters, with islets and inaccessible caves, rich marine life and the steep cliffs sheltering a great number of birds' nests.
A taste of Corsican products is included.
Please note: Changing rooms are not available. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Minimum age is 12 years. Guests who are pregnant or have a heart, back or neck condition are not allowed to participate.
