CORSICA AVENTURE
This trip takes you on the wildest of sea kayaking itineraries along Corsica's west coast. You'll discover an almost inaccessible shoreline and spectacular beaches such as Ficaghjola and Arone.

You'll explore sea caves, stone arches, sandy coves, the village of Girolata, and the Scandola reserve, admiring geological formations and a diverse fauna.
Your adventure will be punctuated by dives, nights under the stars, and visits to cultural sites such as Cargèse.
The trip concludes with a return to the port of Sagone, followed by a transfer to Ajaccio or the airport, leaving you with unforgettable memories of a 'wild' Corsica and a palette of colours of rare intensity.
