Detailed description

 

This excursion is ideal for nature lovers and for those who wish to discover wild Corsica.
You will embark on a 4.5-hour experience, combining 2.5 hours of kayaking with 2 hours of various breaks to swim and discover coves, caves and other natural landscapes.
Your experienced guide will be waiting for you on Piantarella beach and will provide you with all the necessary equipment to start your adventure.
After a brief explanation of the route and safety instructions, your kayak trip begins.
Paddle across the crystal-clear waters of the Piantarella lagoon to reach the first cliffs of the gulf, admire the floral scenery offered by the maquis. A short break for everyone to adjust and quench their thirst, then you're off again towards the increasingly wild coast.
Your guide will be sure to detail all the biodiversity of the place, telling you the name of each species encountered: Cory's shearwaters, yellow-legged gulls.
Walk silently beneath the majestic limestone cliffs and arrive at the first highlight of the experience by discovering the breathtaking boat rock.
You will enjoy a picnic break on Saint Antoine beach, a mythical place below the Pertusato lighthouse, to swim and observe marine life with a mask and snorkel.
A moment of sharing where your guide will be happy to tell you the names of the many fish and invertebrates; barracudas, gilthead bream, and starfish are not lacking. Many legends of the picturesque town of Bonifacio will also be shared with you.
Then, returning to the sea, you will pass behind Saint Antoine Island and discover a unique spectacle: the view of the village of Bonifacio perched on its cliffs. The second highlight is the discovery of the Orca cave, an open-air marvel into which you will slide to rest on its secret beach.
You will gently travel along the marine park, enjoying stops in coves while keeping your eyes open to each landscape of unspoiled beauty until your return to the starting point.
This activity will undoubtedly leave you with unforgettable memories of a lesser-known side of Corsica. Enjoy your evening in Bonifacio and continue exploring this legendary city.
