Awesome boat trip with the friendly captain Marco. Beautiful sunset over the Sanguinaires Islands, nice and friendly aperitif on the boat and really fun sailing, with ACDC as background music. A wild and crazy boat trip that we will keep as a souvenir.

Very beautiful and impressive tour. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that warm anymore. The only drawback: we booked in English, but only French was spoken.

Walk led by Emilie, very kind and welcoming, perfect sunset. Nice little aperitif. Good luck!

Very nice visit to the coves with an exceptional guide. Plus, meeting with a sperm whale.

very enjoyable outing with our guide Marco. great fun with the speedboat☺️
