Skip the crowded beach path and reach San Pietro's wildest cove by inflatable boat, watching for peregrine falcons and Eleonora's falcons nesting on the cliffs.
What to expect
The zodiac hugs the coastline past Capo Sandalo before cutting into Cala Fico's turquoise inlet, where the guide cuts the engine to drift beneath raptor nesting cliffs. You'll anchor for a swim in water so clear the seabed is visible at depth. The return runs past sea caves rarely seen from shore.
Good to know
Best booked for late morning when the light hits the cliffs and falcons are most active; pier pickup can be arranged near the tender dock.
