From Porto: Boat tour to the Calanches of Piana & Capo Rosso Scandola, Girolata & Calanche de Piana Cruise

Climb aboard a silent hybrid boat and marvel at the stunning rock formations of the Calanche de Piana on a boat tour from Porto. See the historic tower of Capo Rosso and admire local flora and fauna.
The excursion begins at Porto, in the heart of the Gulf, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon boarding, you step onto a comfortable hybrid boat, offering a quiet, eco-friendly navigation while ensuring maximum comfort to fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

The boat first heads towards the Ficajola Beach, an iconic cove accessible only by sea. The vessel approaches slowly, allowing you to admire the turquoise waters and the surrounding cliffs of striking red rock.

Next, you explore the Calanche de Piana, an impressive series of pink granite cliffs shaped over centuries by erosion. The boat gets as close as possible to the towering rock faces, passing through narrow fissures, along marine caves, and around spectacular rock formations. Every crevice and relief reveals a unique landscape, enhanced by the contrast between the red granite and the deep blue sea.

The tour continues to the natural arch of Capo Rosso, a remarkable geological monument, before offering an exceptional view of the famous Genoese tower of Capo Rosso, perched on its rocky promontory and overlooking the gulf.

Finally, the excursion ends with a passage by the natural pool, a stunning site known for its crystal-clear waters and smooth rocky contours, observed directly from the boat.

Throughout the tour, the captain provides commentary on the geology, history, and unique features of the area, offering a contemplative, immersive, and environmentally respectful experience.
