Scandola Reserve — Boat Trip from Porto, Corsica

Scandola from Porto: a unique natural sanctuary

The Scandola Nature Reserve is one of the most precious treasures of the Mediterranean. Created in 1975, it was the first nature reserve in France to be both terrestrial and marine. From Hotel Le Vaïta, your hotel near Scandola in Porto-Ota, the departure harbour is just 5 minutes away.

Accessible only by sea, this geological wonder offers a stunning spectacle: red granite cliffs sculpted by erosion, sea caves, crystal-clear waters where groupers, brown meagres and spiny lobsters thrive. Bird enthusiasts can observe the osprey, symbol of the reserve, as well as European shags and peregrine falcons.
