Plunge into Corsica's savage interior — emerald river gorges, chestnut forests, and vertiginous granite panoramas — aboard a private 4×4 led by a local naturalist guide. Culminate with a swim in the crystal pools of the Gorges du Prunelli.
What to expect
Departing Ajaccio, your guide navigates rutted tracks through the maquis — the heady scent of lavender, rosemary, and cistus flooding the open windows. The Gorges du Prunelli open up like a secret: sheer granite walls, a rushing turquoise river, and deep natural swimming pools carved by millennia of glacial water. After a swim, a hillside picnic with Corsican charcuterie, local cheeses, and Nielluccio wine rounds out the morning. The return route offers sweeping Gulf of Ajaccio panoramas.
Good to know
Confirm pick-up at the cruise pier. Wear sturdy shoes and a swimsuit. Typically back in Ajaccio well before 5 pm all-aboard. Book private to control timing.
