Activities: We hired a boat with a skipper from Pinarellu to discover the Lavezzi islands. However, the sea was too rough so we went to Santa Giulia, the beach of Tahiti, the beach of Porto-Novo or Palombaggia. It was an incredible day, we felt like we landed in the Seychelles

Highlights: It was a fantastic day on the boat! We loved seeing the different beaches and the crystal-clear water. Having a skipper made the experience much easier and more enjoyable ✨
