Corsica · AJACCIO TOURS
The capital works as a base rather than a sight: boats to the Sanguinaires from the harbour, longer runs north to Scandola, wine in the hills behind. These 15 are priced and timed, with the departure point flagged — several leave from Porticcio across the bay.
A 3-hour guided boat tour of Ajaccio Bay with stops at the protected Sanguinaires islands and sea-only Mezumare, plus swimming.
“It didn’t happen. The excursion started with a ferry to the tour boat. The tour boat left before we arrived”
3-hour RIB sunset cruise from Ajaccio or Porticcio to the Sanguinaires, with a swim, possible Mezu Mare stop, and Corsican aperitif.
“Excursion très sympathique ! L’apéritif sur l’île n’est pas inoubliable mais il permet de discuter avec nos guides, très souriants et dans l’échange. Les bateaux sont tops et le trajet vaut le coup, on a eu la chance de croiser des dauphins. Le coucher de soleil, même un peu caché par les nuages reste magique. Je recommande”
Full-day cruise from Ajaccio or Porticcio to Bonifacio with iconic cliffs, caves, King Aragon Steps, and 4 hours to explore.
“Great trip value for money you get to see different parts of corsica you would not normally get to see well worth the money only down side was the guides commentary was only in french so.e english would have been welcome”
Sunset speedboat from Ajaccio to the Sanguinaires, swim in clear water, visit a lighthouse, then sip rosé with Corsican bites.
“Attention, on vous vend un petit sunset apéro alors qu’il s’agit d’un speed boat a sensations … Dans notre bateau, personne n’était au courant que c’était vraiment ça l’activité ! 😭”
A 55-minute open-top bus loop in Ajaccio for Napoleon stops and big Sanguinaires sea views, great value at about $11.
“Great! Tour operator let us join an earlier tour instead of waiting 1 hour for booked time. With two cruise ships in port, I thought it might be busy so booked ahead. The bus ride was enjoyable, only critique is they said there was a photo stop at the sanguinaires viewpoint but there wasn't. Still could get photos from the open top bus . Was cheaper to book with Get Your Guide than on the door as well.”
Semi-rigid boat day trip from Ajaccio or Porticcio: Scandola, Girolata, Piana calanques and a swim at Capo Rosso in 8 hours.
“Email sent the morning of the excursion had a link to a meeting point that was not near where we were supposed to be and we almost missed our excursion because of it. Also, the Whatsapp phone number included in the same message had no service. The tour operator lady gave us heck for not being on time and she never tried calling me on Whatsapp just through regular cell service which for most people from North America will have turned off because Whatsapp is cheaper. Views, ride and guide were great though but that front end experience sucked”
Ajaccio Napoleon’s Cave with Corsican spuntinu: a 1-hour, air-conditioned visit near the Bonaparte House Museum, with movie and local meal.
“The lunch and presentation was wonderful. I also loved the little gift shop and purchased some unique items I highly recommend this experience!”

Ajaccio speedboat tour to UNESCO Scandola, Girolata beach lunch stop, Piana calanques, and Capo Rosso, with snorkeling swims.
“I really enjoyed this boat tour from Ajaccio — the landscapes were stunning, the stops for swimming were a highlight, and the overall pace was relaxing and well-planned. It was a beautiful way to explore Corsica from the water. Lionel, our captain, was excellent — calm, professional, and made us feel safe the whole time. Totally worth it if you’re in the area and want to experience something scenic and peaceful.”
Boats, tastings and mountain tracks — the best of each.
