A wonderfull trip of high quality quidiance… the 4 hours were perfect to expérience the two beautiful sides of thé coppa Rosa and the protected Scandola from the sea. Super guide And captain of gentle guidiance on thé waves.. such fun, such beauty… quality price very ok!!!
This tour was brilliant. Our Captain Marc was very funny and knowledgeable. This was an excellent way to learn about the island. A great tip from Le Routard. Also, a shout out to the woman who sold us our tickets, i did not get her name, but she was very helpful, especially since she could speak english.
We were in two and we did the Grand Tour du Golfe. The guide was very friendly and made the journey both interesting and fun. Great experience, would definitely recommend it!
Thanks to Alpana we had an incredible experience which we'll cherish for years and years. We learned about the geology of this beautiful gulf, we enjoyed swimming and we laughed and laughed throughout the entire excursion. I totally recommend it.
Did the 90 minutes tour of the Calanches and was very satisfied! The booking process was easy by phone and was able to pay via credit card. The cruise was pleasant and I learned a lot. Antoine was a very convivial guide and captain. I would recommend Alpana sea excursions.
Arnaud was a great skipper, the swim in the calanques de piana are just superb! Better to go at sunset to skip the crowd. Love the whole gulf views. Long tour though, can be done in 2 and a half hours instead of 3 and a half.
Everything went super well. Thibault is really a great sailor and made it possible to get to all the places :)
There are several companies running the same kind of tour. I highly recommend going for those mid size boats (12 people max) as it allows to go deeper among the rocks while benefiting from the captain comments (something you don’t get renting on your own - also, you would be highly time constrained while these fast boat can easily navigate from one point to another). Alpana was a good choice indeed.

🇬🇧 Did the full tour: Calanques de Piana + Scandola, and it included a stop at the village of Girolata. It was very nice. But be careful, the full tour is over 3h. We were sitting at the front in the sun, and got a couple of sun burns. The crew on the boat were nice and knowledgeable.
A nice boat tour were there were plenty of moment to make beautiful pictures. Sometimes the captain made a pirouette with the boat, so everyone could made pictures. BUT the explanation was only in French. The crew didn’t speak English at all.
The highlights tour was the perfect option to bring the small kids. The boat is comfortable and the guide (Joseph) was great.
We loved going very close to the rock formations. Nice in the late afternoon to see the colored rocks turn dark red.
We did the 3,5 hour tour. Great experience, definitely recommend this option over others! Skilled captain that manoeuvres the boat close to the spectacular landscape. Only 12 people on board, so relaxed atmosphere and a chance to take good pictures. We did the tour in a different order than other companies, which meant we had all the spots mostly to ourselves. Great in dept explanation on the geology and wildlife of the area. We spotted some sea eagles thanks to his knowledge of the area.
🫰🫰🫰🫰splendide paradis Thank You Captain !
Really great boat renting company. Everyone was super helpful and nice. Super captain and very nice boat. They have a very solid boat that can go out even with a mixed weather (with some wind), for 12 persons while you could fit at least 20 sited people. So you have a lot of space but the ship is small enough to go in all the different caves. You will be ensured to live a great experience, even with a "not too good" weather while most of the other companies will have their ships stuck in the harbour.
Nice boat trip. Unfortunately was a little bit difficult to get a place and the time was depending on the poeple. But the lady was nice and the trip.was beautiful. It was also a bit expensive but in accordance to the prices of the village

Thank you so much for an amazing Tour (3:30 h to Calanche and Scandola)! Our captain explained everything in french and afterwards for us in english aswell. The views were unbelivable - it's a must do Trip if you are in Porto.
Fantastic experience with great boat driver and entertainer. The trip through the caves was majestic, and the accompanying Corsican music was fabulous.
A great tour, with nice, funny and knowledgeable guides. On top of that, they are really engaged into wildlife preservation (it matters to me). Price is aligned with the other tour operators. They take reservations on the phone until 11pm, good to know :) Definitely recommend !
Was an awesome trip showing us the best parts of the coast. The captain did a great job keeping everyone comfortable and even translated to English for me. They did some crazy manoeuvres, which customers seems to expect. But they always made sure everyone is ok. It is also one of the few companies where you don't need a life vest on the boat.
i was the only english speaker on the tour and the guide did such a wonderful job of taking the time to explain everything to me separately. since i love geology, I’m so glad he did. it was so interesting!! did the big tour. just wow. plus the mini speedboat thing at the end was really fun. Merci!!
We had a very exciting boat trip with Adrenaline Corse. The captain has a lot to say about what you see along the way. Also the boat (which is fast but not too large) can get everywhere, even inside caves! Adrenaline Corse is definitely the company I would recommend!
Lovely experience..... and the lunch was excellent. Thanks to the crew for a wonderful day despite of the windy and wavy conditions 😉
Amazing experience, with a great captain! We had booked for another day, but were contacted in advance to change it, due to risk of bad weather (which turned out to be true). Instead of a morning tour, we went in the afternoon. During the 4hr trip we experienced Corsican music, all the different cliffs and grottos, as well as the beautiful village of Ghirolata. The highlight, however, was seeing dolphins in the sunset. An experience we will remember for a long time.

We had a wonderful trip with this company! The quality is perfect and the guide was very interesting. Rafaël gave many informations about the area and made the excursion very instructive! I recommend this company.
Despite the fact I had indicated on the online form that my wide suffers from sea sickness, our captain Thomas didn't have the least consideration for this. He was practically joyriding at open sea, zigzagging at full speed up to the point where my 8 year old daughter was in tears and my wife unable to enjoy the remainder of the trip. To top it off, after I explained this to him, he didn't apologize or even change his behaviour, finishing the trip with another full throttle ride back to port. Thanks for ruining our afternoon at sea Thomas, I hope you grow up and cultivate some work ethics. You are the name captain unworthy... I'm sure this must be an isolated case but it reflects badly on the entire agency.
Mega cool, they have guid in many languages
perfect sunset trip to the capo rosso. No boring boat ride - it was a speedboat-fun-trip with sunsetswim and riding into the caves with the boat... great
Just perfect ! We have been incredibly charmed by the cruise, the small boat and our guide.
Excellent 👌
(Translated by Google) We went on a short tour of the Piana coves and the Capo Rosso caves! A magnificent 90-minute excursion, with Arthur, who is very friendly! He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, gives us time to swim, and offers a good selection of music. The little extra: dolphins at the end of the tour! We did it with a one-year-old baby and a three-year-old girl. It was perfect! (Original) Nous sommes partis faire le petit tour, les calanques de Piana et les grottes du Capo Rosso ! Excursion magnifique d’1h30, avec Arthur qui est très sympathique ! Il prend le temps de bien expliquer, nous laisse le temps de nous baigner et un bon choix de musique. Le petit + : des dauphins en fin de visite ! Nous l’avons fait avec un bébé d’un an et une petite fille de 3 ans. C’était parfait !

We had a great experience. Smaller boat and numbers is better. Out Captain gave us plenty of details and interacted with us - French AND English. I highly recommend this excursion company!
VERY RUDE. Don’t recommend. I called to inquire about one of their boat trips. A woman answered the phone and I was hung up on upon asking my question. I called back to be sure it wasn’t an issue with her being able to hear me. I called again and confirmed the woman could hear me. Before I could ask my question she started asking me my dates and name. I said one minute, I have a question. Again, asked my question and she hung up on me again. Not sure if it was because I spoke English or my inquiry itself but unacceptable either way. There are plenty of other companies to use. Way to run a business 🙄
Wonderful tour ( I had the 1h30 tour through the calanches de piana ) with the sunset giving an extra sparkle to the landscape. Our captain Ben stops carefully at the important spots and gives you the geo and bio infos you need. We had even a 5 min swim to complete this amazing trip with all our senses. It is worth every penny and a must see.
We went on the Calanques tour (1,5 hours) at 16:30. The tour is a very pleasant experience; the captian/guide is pairing humor with insights on nature and history. The tour starts 'slow' on the way out, stopping at points of interest along the way. There is a swimming opportunity at the end, and then a fun and thrilling 'fast' return to port. You sit in two rows on the boat, choose a spot on the left for unobstructed photos of the cliffs
Armand, driver and boss was very enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable. His manoeuvring was very good in small places. The small break to swim and snorkel inside a cave was unforgettable. Armand attracted loads of fish by feeding them bread. It felt like going back in time where around every corner a dinosaur could appear at capo Rosso.
Enjoyed the shortest tour 1,5 hour. Great experiece for adults and also children. Boat is very fast as it has two 300hp engines. Tour included short swimming stop at wonderfull bay.
Wasn't sure what we were getting into, but absolutely loved our experience with Corse Emotion, perhaps the highlight of our trip seeing Scandola by boat. The owner was incredibly friendly and so were his staff. A must do for your next visit to Corsica!
Nice boat tour, professional staff and kind

Great cruise to the Scandola Reserve! First of all, the Captain was just perfect, very nice person and super guide. Boat was very pleasant and speedy, which was super fun. The stop at the hidden beach for a swim was very pleasant and helped to freshen up. We really enjoyed this trip and can only recommend Goeland and their cruise business!
Very good tour. We had a great captain, speaking french and english. Had a short swim in the crystal clear water.
We had researched before we came to Porto which boat company we would chose and in the end choose Le Goeland where we were well advised. So we had a Fantastic tour with Captain Arthur to the scandola nature reserve! We were able to take our dog which was great and we went on the first tour of the day which was at 8:30. That was very beneficial as we didn’t burn! The Captain explained everything in English and he was very knowledgeable. We couldn’t stop to swim as it was too choppy and I appreciate the safety concerns! It was a boat for twelve people and the speed was very enjoyable! At the end the boat did some curves whilst speeding which we all enjoyed! Very recommendable!
Beautiful day at Sea! The staff was extremely professional and friendly. The Natural Reserve was spectacular and it was beautiful to see the respect they had for the natural environment. The price was more than appropriate for the service they provide, money well spent for the memories we are bringing back home with us. Thank you!
Very good trip with wonderful captain and great service. We booked via Manawa and the registration system did not work, but we contacted them via WhatsApp on their website and they secured a place and all worked out nicely. Great boat, 1.5h trip to capo rosso absolutely stunning.
We rented a private boat without permit. Great tour to go alone. Friendly and helpful staff, English speaking, good boats and good price
We paid for a 90 minutes tour, but were back after 70 minutes. The captain with dog drove the boat like crazy, too fast jumping on the waves and he took quick turns, so the boat was leaning towards the water. We were scared because we had our 3 years old baby boy on board. I wouldnt recommend this company.
Amazing experience, both the jaw dropping nature, the boating, swimming as well as the explanations by Julie ( #thebest!!!)

Great experience. Easy to book a find in departure place I marine. Extremely skillful captain managing the ship in caves. Recommend to everyone who would like to see CORSICA beauty from the sea with magnificent geological formation.
This was simply the best boat tour in Porto and a highlight of our trip to Corsica. The captain provided commentary in both French and English throughout the tour. We also loved the short swimming break, it was a refreshing surprise in the August heat. We highly recommend taking the Le Grand Tour Semi-Rigide, as it feels more private and exclusive.
Friendly staff thé tour is amazing and comes with great music from Corsica. Thank you for this experience! Go for the sunset.
Amazing!! The captain knew a lot and was very friendly. The price is good compared to what i have seen and communication excellent
Did the boat trip from Capo Rosso to Scandola, captain showed amazing skills squishing the boat into the caves and between the rocks, we always felt safe. And when the little daughter got afraid of the waves, captains dog, kind calm cocer spaniel came to us, as if he knew. All in all, outstanding experience and we really appreciated english translation, as we were the only non french speaking customers. Hat off!
Absolutely fantastic experience. Sightseeing with a lot of power 🚣💨
It was amazing and much faster then other boats
Amazing experience, incredibly skilled boat driver.

A great boat trip!
Good experience. They supplied my wife with a nice transcript of the narration in English. Too bad the french narration could not be understood down below because the volume was simply set too loud and the speakers could not handle it.
We took the boat trip to Natural Reservation of Scandola and to the Giralta village, but we couldn't go down in Giralta. The guide is only in french
Excellent service client !
(Translated by Google) We opted for the complete tour with the capo roso, the Piana coves, the Scandola reserve and the village of Girolata. It was sunny but quite windy. The captain was able to adapt and offered to put us on the front of the boat when the wind permitted, and sheltered us to avoid being sprayed in the open sea! He wiped the seats regularly so we could sit in them again. Humor in the comments given, special attention to its passengers. Pleasant boat, neither too big nor too small. A beautiful, very pleasant walk in a very friendly atmosphere. We recommend! (Original) Nous avons opté pour le tour complet avec le capo roso, les calanques de Piana, la réserve de Scandola et le village de Girolata. Il faisait beau mais pas mal de vent. Le capitaine a su s'adapter et en nous proposant de nous mettre sur l'avant du bateau lorsque le vent le permettait, et nous mettait à l'abri pour éviter qu'on se fasse arroser en pleine mer ! Il essuyait les sièges régulièrement afin qu'on puisse s'y installer à nouveau. De l'humour dans les commentaires donnés, une attention particulière pour ses passagers. Bateau agréable, ni trop grand, ni trop petit. Une belle balade très agréable et dans une ambiance très conviviale. Nous recommandons !
(Translated by Google) Excellent trip at good value for money with a large boat that can enter the caves and get quite close.

Perfect duration with 3 children, including a 2-year-old baby. Comfortable boat for parents with young children (the freeboards on deck are high and secure). The boat was able to fit completely into the sea caves; it was spectacular! ⭐️Bravo to the pilot for maneuvering to the centimeter, given the size of the boat! 🤗 Efficient speaker, with relevant and essential information about the Calanques de Piana. My older children, 9 and 11, listened and learned a lot. 👍 Several seating options on the boat: inside, protected from the sun, or out in front, to take in the view! 😍 Restrooms are available on the boat, which is a big plus with young children 👍 Reservations made remotely by phone two days before the departure date.

Le bateau a pu rentrer totalement dans les grottes marines, c’était spectaculaire ! ⭐️Bravo au pilote pour les manœuvres au centimètre au vu de la taille du bateau ! 🤗 Speaker efficace, avec des informations pertinentes et essentielles sur les calanques de Piana, mes plus grands enfants 9 et 11 ans ont écouté et appris des choses 👍 Plusieurs choix d’assises dans le bateau, à l’intérieur protégé du soleil ou devant en extérieur pour en prendre plein la vue ! 😍 Des wc sont à disposition sur le bateau, c’est un gros plus avec de jeunes enfants 👍 Réservation effectuée à distance par téléphone deux jours avant la date du départ.

Lovely to see and best by boat, make sure you get on one of those small boats, not the big ferries. The small boats can actually go even in some kind of caves. Very interesting rock formations and very beautiful views from the sea.
Very beautiful, red rocks with high cliffs falling straight into the ocean. Beautiful surroundings and the feeling of "middle of nowhere". Highly recommended
Amazing and beautiful area to visit. Clear water for snorkling with a lot of fish and interesting structure under water. Great landscape with huge and different colored rocks. But please remember, its a nature reservate so no garbage! No fishing! No fast driving with boots!
I visit this park in a speed boat. It was a nightmare. And about the park and rocks...well it's a problem of taste.
The most amazing place to visit in Corsica. Just choose carefully your boat agency (even if they look all bad...)
Stunning place to visit, 100% must do in Calvi
I have never seen such a beautiful natural spectacle. book a boat and take the complete tour! it will exceed your expectations

We took boat trip three wonders and it was amazing! Skipper Nicolas is super professional with some English speaking comments over visited places. Highly recommended tour to see Corsica from the seaside!
I think this is clearly the best tour if you want the full late tour that ends with the sunset. They take great care of showing you the best places. The small and very fast boats are a blast and they fit in the smallest caves. The owner is very cool too, his small yorkshire will share the trip with you. Take a coat and be prepared to wipe your glasses! This is super speedy and impressive
We took longer speed boat trip to visit Calanques de Piana, Capo Rosso, Scandola and Girolata. Amazing experience!
We booked the boat tour "Les 3 merveilles en bateau" with this company. According to the tour description on their website, the itinerary included three destinations: Girolata, the Scandola Reserve, and Capo Rosso/Piana. We specifically chose this boat tour because of the stop in Girolata which is otherwise not accessible. However, we did not stop at Girolata at all — in fact, we didn’t even pass by the bay. The boat sailed from Porto Ota directly to the Scandola Reserve, followed by Capo Rosso and Piana. This means one of the three advertised destinations was entirely skipped even though we paid for it. To be fair, the destinations we did visit — Scandola, Capo Rosso/Piana — were truly stunning and absolutely worth seeing. Still, we were disappointed that a key part of the tour was left out without any explanation. While we contacted the company afterwards and they acknowledged that the stop at Girolata should have been made, we were disappointed by the overall handling of the situation. So be cautious when booking and make sure that the specified stops are included.
An incredible boat trip to an incredible place. The stunning pink granite of scandola offers a unique visit to a UNESCO protected paradise. Our tour guide, Julian, bettered the experience of a lifetime. Although didn't speak much French at all so we didn't learn an awful lot (compared to those who spoke french who seemingly did). Would thoroughly recommend using this company for a sunset tour ☀️
It was awesome experience! The captain was giving a lot of interesting tlinformation in French and English language to us about a landscape and showed us beautiful places. I highly reccommend
Amazing experience! Thank you Samson for your explanations and historical info. Loved the experience.
Amazing trip, especially the grotto very unique, with incredible views and extremely friendly staff special bonus, a swim in the most incredible water 😉

Had a great dive with divemaster Erik! He was very relaxed and funny. Took care of all the equipment beforehand and discussed weights with me before going on board. Our group was one dive master and 3 divers. Perfect! Highly recommend.
The team very nice, specially Anna who spoke with us in Spanish and all the booking was perfect. We dive 2 days in a row, 4 dives in total, however 3 of them were in the same site, Ficajola. A pitty that we could not go to anywhere else (and neither scandola nor capo Rosso) as we had to go with snorkel people and it seems the waves were too bad for them. Also the level here is for beginners, in every dive there were people running out of air in less than 30min, people with weight or buoyancy problems.. if you are an experienced diver it can be dissaponting and also having to wait for more than 30min in the boat doing nothing after the immersion as they had to do a baptism.. (and we could have dive longer or at least do snorkel..) So if you are a beginner or just want to try to dive this is your club!! Dive masters very kind and will babysit you all the time, diving very quite, and Porto surrounding very nice!
Would like to give zero stars. I'm really disappointed with the attitude they have. My friends organized diving for my 30th birthday and two people of our group got sick and couldn't go than they cancelled our whole group without notice and we were send back at the pier in the morning. Thanks for ruining my birthday.
Professional diving school! Nice dive sites bear Porto. Would pick them again.
Recommend it! The team was super nice, the material was in good shape and the dive was very technical. Go!
Cool guys to dive with.
Great dive center, Florence is amazing!
(Translated by Google) Very good….Super pro. The equipment is top, Gilles knows his job, and knows what he’s doing. The advice and instructions are precise, clear and explicit. Exactly what you expect from a diving club! In addition, the welcome is super pleasant, Florence is as available and helpful as Gilles. The spots are very beautiful, the rocky drop-offs offer a super pleasant diving ground. I recommend with my eyes closed, even if it’s worth keeping your eyes wide open underwater, otherwise you might miss a grouper or two! (Original) Très bien….Super pro. L’équipement est top, Gilles connaît son métier, et sait ce qu’il fait. Les conseils et consignes sont précises, claires et explicites. Exactement ce qu’on attend d’un club de plongée ! En plus, l’accueil est super agréable, Florence est aussi disponible et serviable que Gilles. Les spots sont très beaux, les tombants rocheux offrent un terrain de plongée super agréable. Je recommande les yeux fermés, même si ça vaut le coup de bien les ouvrir sous l’eau, sous peine de rater un mérou ou deux !

We made the tour to the Piana Calanques. 1h30 of amazing views, nice stories and we had time to swim in such an amazing water and environment! Thank you!
We Had a great Journey, Most spectacular and the best Guide and boatrider ever!!! Fantastic. Family of 5.
The tour is great and beautiful. But our Captain was very ignorant and arrogant. When we asked him if he can describe us a few things in english he gave no answer and made a joke in french so the whole boat was laughing at us. Of course we didn‘t know what he said, but it seemed pretty clear. The fact that he speeks no english wasn‘t a big problem for me because that is quite normal in france. But that arrogant way to treat their guests is not acceptable. At least we were good enough that they took our money. Addition: The company wrote a friendly message. so 4 stars.
(Translated by Google) We took a fantastic 3.5 hour boat tour. The boat driver explained a lot and took his time with us. He even played English explanations for the foreign guests. At sunset he stopped and played romantic Corsican music. It was a great experience. (Original) Wir haben eine phantastische 3,5-Stunden Bootstour unternommen. Der Bootsführer hat viel erklärt und sich Zeit für uns genommen. Für die ausländischen Gäste hat er sogar englische Erklärungen angespielt. Zum Sonnenuntergang hat er angehalten und romantische korsische Musik abgespielt. Es war ein großes Erlebnis.
(Translated by Google) We weren't originally supposed to be with this company, but I'm actually really glad we ended up with this one. Laurent was really nice and took the time to show us the coves. We even stopped and got to swim with the fish. As a little extra, we were treated to a beautiful sunset in the middle of the sea. A really good experience, I recommend it!!🤩 (Original) À la base nous ne devions pas être avec cette compagnie et finalement je suis bien contente que nous soyons tombés sur celle-ci. Laurent était très sympa, il a bien pris le temps de nous montrer les calanques. Nous nous sommes même arrêtés et nous avons pu nager parmi les poissons. Petit supplément nous avons eu le droit à un magnifique coucher de soleil en plein milieu de la mer. Très bonne expérience je recommande!!🤩
(Translated by Google) It was just incredibly awesome! A wonderful memory of our stay in Corsica which appealed to both young and old! Everything is there: sensations, breathtaking landscapes, really appreciated breaks to discover both the waters and the land, and a captain who shares with us lots of very interesting information about the sites visited. It was 3 hours of happiness ♥️ (Original) C’était juste incroyablement génial ! Un merveilleux souvenir de notre séjour en Corse qui a séduit aussi bien les petits que les grands ! Tout y est : des sensations, des paysages à couper le souffle, des pauses vraiment appréciées pour découvrir à la fois les eaux et les terres, et un capitaine qui nous partage plein d’informations très intéressantes sur les sites visités. C’était 3h de bonheur ♥️
(Translated by Google) A sensational slap!!! We took the big tour which lasts 3h30 and the time passes so quickly. Laurent (the pilot) takes us to Piana, Scandola, Girolata and he makes us discover caves, coves and heavenly corners!!! Laurent is friendly and very open and what's more, he's a great pilot! He passes between the rocks at full throttle with his RIB boat with such ease and incredible precision. Guaranteed sensations when he turns his boat at an angle. We docked at Girolata for 30 minutes to discover an old fort that was once inhabited by pirates. Thank you Laurent for this great trip of breathtaking beauty and superb sensations. TO DO URGENTLY Kind regards from the 3 bikers ✌️ Micka, Hanaé and Aurélien (Original) Une claque sensationnelle !!! Nous avons pris le grand tour qui dure 3h30 et le temps passe si vite. Laurent (le pilote) nous emmène à Piana, Scandola, Girolata et il nous fait découvrir des grottes, des criques et des coins paradisiaques !!! Laurent est sympathique et très ouvert et en plus c'est un sacré pilote ! Il passe entre les rochers à plein gaz avec son bateau semi-rigide avec une telle facilité et une précision incroyable. Des sensations garanties lorsqu'il met de l'angle avec son bateau. Nous avons accosté à Girolata pendant 30 minutes pour découvrir un ancien fort qui était habité par les pirates autrefois. Merci Laurent pour ce super voyage d'une beauté à couper le souffle et de superbes sensations. À FAIRE DE TOUTE URGENCE Amicalement des 3 motards ✌️ Micka, Hanaé et Aurélien
(Translated by Google) We chose to do the full tour: the Piana coves, the Scandola reserve and a stop at Girolata…. Perfect and magnificent 🤩! Our very professional Captain Laurent shared his knowledge with us throughout these 3 hours of walking, it was a real pleasure. We also took advantage of the power of his boat. What more can I say, it was awesome 😍!! 👍 The Bretons (Original) Nous avons choisi de réaliser le tour complet : les calanques de Piana, la réserve de Scandola et un arrêt à Girolata …. Parfait et magnifique 🤩 ! Notre Capitaine Laurent très professionnel nous a fait partager ses connaissances tout au long de ces 3 heures de balade ce fût un vrai plaisir. Nous avons également profité de la puissance de son bateau . Que dire de plus que ce fût génial 😍 !! 👍 Les Bretons
