Wonderful day ! Loris masters his boat to perfection, which allowed us to enter the rifts. Big surprise, we were able to enjoy a swim, which was not specified in the description, a treat !! Rodolphe is pleasant, professional in safety before swimming and tells the story and legend of the ballad very well. In short, this outing was a very pleasant surprise.

Very good day! The Scandola nature reserve is sublime and so are the creeks of Piana. On the other hand, the stopover in Girolata is short (2 hours) to eat and go to the beach, that's right, especially when you have to climb the rock by a small path to access the pebble beach in not easy flip-flops. Take sneakers! Other than that, TOP!

Our tour was postponed one day earlier due to bad weather. For this reason, the tour was only available with a French-speaking guide. I didn't understand a word, but the guide was so nice, friendly (and so handsome ) that I didn't mind at all that I didn't understand. The views were breathtaking. A very successful trip. I recommend it to everyone!:)
