WILDLY WALKING BETWEEN LAND AND SEA

The luxury of waking up in the middle of the sea, walking every day, relaxing your mind.

Northern Corsica: wild and uncrowded even in August, it is a destination of the heart, which enchants and leaves you wanting to return.

Every day walks will be combined with sea life, experienced on a boat, to experience Nature 24 hours a day and discover the islands in a different way.

Choose Northern Corsica and treat yourself to wild beaches, transparent sea, lush nature, cows on the beach and vivid colors.

Program

The itinerary includes Northern Corsica and Elba/Capraia, necessary to break up the navigation

Port of embarkation (5.30 pm) / Disembarkation (9.00 am) Tuscany, Portoferraio/Piombino (Li)

On Sunday we will leave Elba for Corsica, weather permitting, otherwise we will stop in Capraia or go on an excursion to Elba while waiting for favorable weather .

Anyone who wants can lend a hand during the maneuvers, or hold binoculars in their hand in the hope of spotting dolphins , or relax lying in the sun.

Here we are: beneath us the transparent running waters, before us the wild land, the clear beaches, its wild cows and the smell of the Mediterranean scrub!

In Corsica we will walk together along the Sentiero dei Doganieri , we will sink our feet into the Agriates Desert , we will be enchanted by coves like those near Ghignu... passing by the wonderful beaches of Loto and Saleccia , all reachable only on foot or by boat.

We will drop anchor near Macinaggio , a port city famous for its watchtowers to guard against invasions by pirates and Saracens.

We will visit Nonza , for one of the most beautiful sunsets on the island.

Corsica will enchant us with its peaks, the cows on the beaches, the rays among the boats, the transparent aqcau, the uncrowded places despite August, and its Corsican Wildness!

It is the island in line with wild hikers who love the sea.

On Thursday we will leave Corsica to reach nearby Capraia , so similar, so linked to each other both by language and by endemisms.

Capraia is the right island for us, where only the port/town is frequented by those who do not walk or go by sea, everything else will be reachable only with our "means"

It is a place that enchants, without ever being crowded. Rich in history linked to the former agricultural penal colony that has left an agricultural imprint.

So beautiful that it was chosen again by the Monk Seal

We will get to know the island on land through an excursion to Monte delle Penna, or Punta dello Zenobito, or who knows where before diving into the famous award-winning waters.

On Friday evening we will be back at the base or at anchor near Portoferraio, after a beautiful sailing crossing , still ready to help during the maneuvers or to look for dolphins.

 

During the whole trip we will get to know the Islands from a double point of view

We will talk about what true eco-sustainability is, how to reduce our impact on a daily basis, we will learn about dolphins, cetaceans in general and sea turtles.

We will Value the islands differently, going beyond appearance. We will have on board the various products of the islands carefully chosen by me during the inspections.

On board we will cook, delighting you with excellent quality, organic and natural cuisine, mainly at km0

Traveling responsibly also means choosing food that has the least possible impact on the environment. For this reason we will have on board our famous Pasta and Flour of Ancient Grains of Montespertoli, but above all selected products from the various islands

 

Pernottamenti saranno prevalentemente in rada (tranne ultima notte ed eventualmente la prima, entrambi inclusi nella quota), ma in altri casi è possibile prevedere a pagamento pernottamento in porto.

The program is indicative as it is subject to weather conditions and difficulties of various kinds, and only Roberto and Claudia have the power to decide it definitively.

Expected navigation duration Elba-Capraia 5h, Capraia-Corsica 4h, Corsica Elba 7h.

Your Guide

Claudia , founder of Lasca la Randa: Environmental hiking guide qualified under the law, with a master's degree in marine biology.

Expert leader of trekking excursion groups, she particularly loves these places like these in the periods outside the other season : that's why she continues to accompany you on these adventures, full of anecdotes, of Nature, of challenges outside the comfort zone. She always searches for the essence of the places especially if they are islands, after all, you can see yourself in them a little.

He loves to go on long hikes, laugh, make you think about the beauty of the slow pace of this experience . He loves animals, he always carries food in his backpack for cats and dogs that he meets along the trails (except at Asinara!)

Sometimes he brings along notes to read on stories and anecdotes, poems that are for daily reflection.

Literally in love with this island 🙂
