Full description
Enjoy a boat excursion to Giglio Island, a small unspoilt pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago located off theArgentario coast.
The captain will take you to the deck of the island's beautiful beaches, fromArenella to Cala Smeraldo, with its emerald-green waters lapping the coastline. During the excursion you can dive from the boat and explore the seabed thanks to the snorkelling kits provided.
In the middle of the day, you can have lunch on board and, if the captain allows, go ashore to visit Giglio Castello, the island's medieval village with its imposing walls, towers, and the famous Rocca Albodrandesca. We are waiting for you!
What we will do
We will be in Porto Santo Stefano (GR), from where we will set sail at 9.30 am in the direction ofGiglio Island. After about 50 minutes of sailing, we will arrive at the island, known in the past as the "Island of the Goats" due to the presence of many friendly sheep.
Once at our destination, we will make our first swimming stop at Arenella. We will dive from the boat, immersing ourselves in the atmosphere of the island and its irresistible charm.
We will then visit Cala Smeraldo, a small inlet on the eastern side of the island and owing its name to the emerald-green waters that lap the beach, surrounded by ochre-coloured granite cliffs and an expanse of prickly pears.
If conditions permit, we can visit Giglio Castello on foot, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy thanks to its medieval buildings.
In the middle of the day, we will stop for lunch on board (included) with a hot fish dish, freshly prepared. Sparkling and still water, white wine, red wine, Coke and orangeade will also be provided.
If weather conditions do not permit navigation along the east coast of the island, the boat will sail along the western side with a stop at the Campese beach in a beautiful bay framed by the 20-metre-high Faraglione rock.
Return to Porto Santo Stefano is scheduled for 17:00/17:30, after approximately 8 hours.
