Start your excursion onboard a 12-seater RIB boat from the port of Cargèse to discover the impressive Corsican landscapes between the Scandola Nature Reserve and the Gulf of Girolata.

Head north and pass the Pointe d’Omigna to admire the remarkable Genoese Tower, made of granite with feldspar crystals and its rocky surroundings. Continue towards the Pointe d’Urchinu and the Arone beach.
