More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat pulls away from Calvi’s harbor and the limestone cliffs of the Revellata headland grows larger, wind and salt shaping the day. Sun slices over the bay; the Mediterranean under the hull shifts from aquamarine to deep cobalt. After a short briefing you step into fins and mask and the boat moors near the reserve’s outer edges. For 1 hour 30 minutes you’re free to swim, ride the current’s edge, or climb onto the coastal rocks for a closer look at the cliffs.
