Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Nature Reserve of Scandola, Corsica France

Your boat trip can start from the port of Ajaccio or from the port of Porticcio.
Shades of blue, lapping waves, unusual rocks… You are there: Scandola. A unique place. A dream landscape. We will make you discover the reserve in our own way, gently, to the rhythm of the waves and the rays of the sun.

The Scandola Nature Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessible only by sea, it offers an exceptional landscape that we never tire of. Each of our visits here is a new wonder. The diversity of its fauna and flora, both marine and terrestrial, make it a unique place.

We offer you a stop for swimming in the turquoise waters of the Scandola reserve, followed by a wine tasting on board. Who knows, maybe the dolphins will come along at this exceptional moment?

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Gulf of Girolata, France

Unmissable break in the Gulf of Girolata, very close to Scandola. Its pretty beach will welcome us for lunch. Outside of tourist periods, the beach is wild and the cows take up residence there.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Girolata, Girolata, Corse-du-Sud, Corsica

As for the small village of Girolata, it has the particularity of not having a road! In fact, to get there, you come by boat or on foot via a pretty hiking trail.

You will also appreciate its fort dating from the occupation of Genoa in Corsica (15th and 16th centuries): a former protective tower erected on the heights of the gulf to protect it from enemy ships.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Piana, Piana, Corse-du-Sud, Corsica

The rest of our sea trip will take us to the sublime creeks of Piana.
Sometimes ocher, sometimes pink, these immense granite rocks (of volcanic origin) rise majestically above the sea. Here we are faced with what nature offers perhaps the most beautiful ...

They are made up of numerous cavities of different shapes and sizes giving the places all their uniqueness.

We will make you discover the pretty caves of the Calanques de Piana. A real moment of wonder in perspective.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Capo Rosso, 20115 Piana, France

Stop for swimming in the natural pools of Capo Rosso.
To finish our sea trip, we will sail towards Capo Rosso, a sumptuous cape of pink granite enclosing the Gulf of Porto. We can then enjoy a swimming break in its natural pools. An enchanting place that leaves no one indifferent.

At the top of Capo Rosso, we can see a defensive Genoese tower from the 16th century; the Tughju tower, next to the Girolata fort discovered earlier in the day.

Return to Ajaccio.

Duration: 1 hour

Stunning scenery, perfect weather, charming skipper. Lionel was the absolute best. Might want to bring a sweatshirt for the morning departure, though! :)

Sadly we were not lucky with mix of group and style of tour guide who were all French speaking , my friend and I were the only English speaking and whilst we both speak some French we are not very sophisticated yet in fully conversing in French. The group of 12 (including my friend and I ) joined the boat trip and the tour guide immediately began the tour in French and 90% of the 8 hours we were guided in French . Sadly as our French is not up to scratch we missed so much of the information the conversations between the groups . We were largely ignored by the tour guide . We felt isolated , lonely and embarrassed to ask for the information in English. Small efforts were made by ourselves and the group to converse but it was hard for all. The group found it easier to speak with ease with each other . We spoke briefly to the guide to explain how we felt and he stated he would try to make n effort to include us. However it didn’t make that much of an impact. We felt totally gutted as We are used to going on a boat trip and making new friends and learning new things this just didn’t happen. As we felt we were in the wrong for not knowing enough French to enjoy the experience. BTW: We signed up for an English speaking tour 🤷🏾‍♀️

Passeio magnífico. Guia muito simpático e nos explicou cada detalhe do passeio. Conduziu o barco muito bem e nos levou à locais paradisíacos como Girolata, uma ilha de pescadores lindíssima, onde paramos para almoço. O guia nos ofereceu vinho no caminho, o que foi muito bom. Scandola é uma reserva protegida pela UNESCO e é um passeio imperdível aqui na Córsega. O único ponto negativo é que o vento é muito forte no barco e é preciso ir bem agasalhado e com óculos de sol.

Une superbe journée d'excursion avec un capitain qui est très agréable. Il connait bien la région et nous fait profiter de nombreuses anecdotes. Il est à l'écoute des envies de ses passagers. Surtout il respecte la faune et la flore, ce qui est très important pour pouvoir préserver cet environnement naturel exceptionnel. Je le recommande a 200% et je n'hésiterai pas à refaire appel a Neptune croisière pour une prochaine fois.

C'était vraiment magnifique je ne sais même pas ce que je pourrais dire. Avec mon copain on a fait l'excursion découverte et Enchantée donc deux différentes et l'une comme l'autre était merveilleuse. On remercie beaucoup le capitaine "Lionel", il nous a montré des spots vraiment magnifiques et pas trop "touristique" comme de vrai privilégiés. Nous étions 10 à peu près pour les deux excursions, c'est bien mais il ne faudrait pas plus de personnes, ce serait trop je pense. Je reviendrait pour sur sûr Ajaccio mais je reviendrais aussi vers Neptune Croisière ! Vraiment encore merci à eux, des moments inoubliables !!!

Nous avons apprécié cette journée en bateau avec Lionel pour visiter la réserve de Scandola, les calanques de Piana et des arrêts baignade tout au long du trajet. Nous étions sur un bateau ne pouvant contenir que 12 personnes maximum, ce qui a rendu la visite encore plus belle car nous pouvions approcher les sites de très près. Et en prime des dauphins 🐬 au retour dans la baie d’Ajaccio. Du bonheur en famille !
