Description

Do you want to enjoy a different type of vacation with your family? A vacation full of adventures and new places to discover? Join me on this journey to explore the Gulf of Porto. Discover one of the most beautiful parts of Corsica on this week long trip.

This is one of my favorite trips because it has so many different fun and safe activities for people all ages, so even children can enjoy it. But it still has many thrilling parts, for those more adventurous folks.

Over a week of exploration, we’ll trek across mesmerizing coastal walks and discover many secret spots of the Gulf of Porto. One of the places I will guide you to is the Calanches de Piana. This marvelous place is formed with calanques, steep-walled and narrow inlets, that act like wonderful windows to the ocean.

We’ll also have many other water adventures! For instance, we’ll soak in an amazing swimming torrents. Additionally, we will venture through calm waters on a kayak in search of turtles. Moreover, we will visit the Scandola reserve on a boat. And, we’ll have an incredibly fun treasure hunt in a remote and isolated fishing village, that has no road access. So we can all feel like adventurers back in the day exploring new lands!

As for our accommodation, I also have many great proposals. For example, we will stay at Régine, an old oil mill that was renovated and turned into a charming cottage, with all the amenities of a nice hotel. We’ll also stay at gites, fully furnished and equipped holiday homes. That way, you can experience the real Corsican lifestyle.

So gather your family and get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Send me a request and join me on this week journey through Corsica!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
