The experience
The Scandola Nature Reserve is one of the few Mediterranean sites listed as a UNESCO World Heritage. Red cliffs, basalt organ pipes, dense maquis and dark-blue sea: everything is preserved, almost mineral.
The place
On the western coast of Corsica, between Porto and Galéria, the Scandola reserve can only be discovered by boat. One of the most singular volcanic landscapes in Europe, home to seabirds and ospreys.
How the day unfolds
- Departure from Porto or Calvi depending on your itinerary.
- Cruise authorised inside the Scandola reserve, at a distance from the coast.
- Passage at the foot of the red cliffs, lava flows and sea caves.
- Anchorage in the Gulf of Porto for swimming and lunch on board.
- Return towards Calvi or onward to Ajaccio, along the western coast.
What you take home
The feeling of having reached a rare place, without road or trail, accessible only to those who agree to come by sea. A moment of raw nature, very far from the beachy image of Corsica.
Included in the planning
Selected yacht and professional crew, itinerary preparation and Yacht In assistance.
Conditions & availability
The final programme depends on the yacht, weather, navigation conditions and the confirmed availability of crews, harbours and partners.
