This outing was very pleasant despite the j=swell on the return trip in the evening. The 3 hours to go and the 3 hours to return seemed very long to me but were worth it once arrived in Bonifacio because the place is magnificent. The arrival in the port is superb, the old town is very pretty, .... filled with small shops. At this time of year, there were few tourists. In short, we had a very nice day. The crew of the boat is very friendly

Very nice excursion, certainly long but the landscapes are so beautiful !!! Appreciable comments from our cabin crew, on the way out, very good. In addition, on the way back, we had the chance to see dolphins... For catering in the upper town of Bonifacio, beware and select. Very disappointed on that side. We will do it again no problem.

The boat trip is long and could have been accompanied by a guide who explains the history of the region. On the other hand, the view of Bonifacio by the sea is breathtaking. 4 hrs to the city is enough. The master also indicated at the end of the voyage that the crew could be given a tip. The words used gave us the impression that it was an obligation .... a little pressure.
