The best experience and a wonderful memory that I will never forget. Alex our guide was just amazing. I recommend 100% we discovered beautiful places, we were able to swim in crystal clear water in breathtaking coves. Two hours of ride in Bonifacio was more than enough. thanks again

The visit was nice the walk was not too long but we were able to take some nice pictures the guides served us a friendly aperitif but what I preferred was when we left with this magnificent sunset and Corsican songs

Was a really nice experience! Just the boat trip in itself was quite an experience, as well as discovering the island at your own pace & seeing a sunset on the water!

Magnificent expedition with a very kind and accommodating guide. He turned around on arrival at the port which allowed us to see the dolphins more closely!

Beautiful boat-trip! The moment of the sunset including the music was amazing. The boat is quite fast :-)
