    So much fun. You take a small speedboat (don’t worry, you won’t get wet) to the islands, with beautiful views along the way. Small hike around the island, with wine and appetizers waiting for you when you get back. I wore sandals and was fine, but would probably be best to wear shoes. We were the only ones who spoke English, but our guide was very kind to repeat everything to us so we felt included. This is not a large boat that you can walk around and relax- but man was it a lot of fun. In fact, I liked it better!

    Do not book this trip because it’s it is not the same boat shown

    Christine_S, May 2025
    When I got to the dock, there was a small boat with 12 seats, but it was never the boat that was depicted in the pictures. The one in the pictures shows that you can walk around the boat and this one you are basically strapped into your seat with the lifejacket. And then they told me that the step to go down from the dock to the boat is twice as high at the destination dog. I recently had knee surgery so I knew that that would not be good for me. According to the man, the step up at the other dog would be 4 feet. I don’t know if this is true or not, but it’s something that should be said that there is a big step up. But the most important was the boat. The man literally told me that I should have looked at the photos. When I pulled up the photos and showed him that the boat was the white boat and not the black boat that we had. He said I should’ve looked at the travelers pictures.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Bonjour, ahhh nous l'attendions ce fameux retour , mais permettez-nous d’apporter quelques précisions importantes. Le bateau noir sur lequel vous n'avez pas embarqué du coup est en réalité le plus grand de notre flotte. Nous disposons de plusieurs bateaux, et nous choisissons celui qui est le plus adapté aux conditions météorologiques du jour afin de garantir la sécurité et le confort de tous les passagers. Concernant l’accès au bateau, il est clairement mentionné lors de la réservation que le niveau de l’activité est classé comme “difficile” : ce n’est pas sans raison. L’excursion ne convient pas aux personnes ayant des difficultés à marcher, des problèmes de genoux, de dos, ou une condition physique trés limitée. Un certain niveau d’autonomie est indispensable, notamment pour monter ou descendre du bateau. Par ailleurs, la marche dont vous parlez ne mesure pas 4 feet, mais environ 1,5 feet (environ 45 cm). oui je m'adresse au futur lecteur nous sommes en train de débattre sur une marche de 45 cm de hauteur Cette information est connue de notre équipage, qui reste toujours disponible pour assister les passagers si besoin, Enfin, nous rappelons que les comportements odieux ou irrespectueux envers les membres de l’équipage ne sont pas tolérés. Notre personnel fait de son mieux pour assurer la sécurité et le bon déroulement de chaque sortie, dans le respect de tous. Cordialement, L’équipe Neptune Croisière

    Unique aperitif experience!

    Great organization , exeptionnal setting and incredible landscape and wildlife. We saw the seagirls on their eggs or crossing the path before us. We had an aperitif with local wines and local specialties. ...A must do!!!

    Magnitude Sunset

    Elsa_J, Aug 2023
    I had the pleasure of witnessing the most magnificent sunset on Sanguinary Islands. There’s a lighthouse on the island where you can climb to the top for amazing views. Lionel (our boat driver) served delicious canapés and then we set sail for the most magnificent sunset. 🌅

    An experience...

    The unforgettable must-do excursions of a stay.

    Valerie_G, Jun 2026
    Magnificent moment. Very nice pilot and good guide. We were lucky to see dolphins. A top-notch aperitif on the island. And the final bouquet of the sunset over the islands viewed from the open sea is amazing. A great memory for the end of our stay. Thank you.

    Beautiful sunset by the sea

    Gabriele_W, Jun 2025
    Great experience, our guide waited until after sunset and is only then back. We were on a small boat to 12 people. After walking on the island to the tower there were Corsican specialties & drinks, was fun

    Au Top 🌟🌟

    Aurlien_C, Sep 2024
    Superbe excursion entre amis. Skipper au top, bonne musique d’ambiance. Petit plongeon dans les îles sanguinaires, et en pleine mer avec un petit saut de crapeau pour notre chacha 🌊🧜🏻‍♀️

    Coucher de soleil

    Philippe_T, Aug 2024
    Malheureusement trop nuageux , mais Pilote du bateau super sympa merci à lui, avec retour en présence de dauphin ! 👍

    Must ad Ajaccio

    Davide_P, Aug 2024
    Esperienza bellissima da fare se passate da Ajaccio, navigazione adrenalinica e molto ben organizzata. C’è tempo per visitare bene in lungo e in largo l’isoletta, aperitivo piuttosto abbondante e il fiore all’occhiello è il bagno al largo al tramonto. Eccellente anche il nostro skipper che parlava perfettamente inglese.

    Superbe coucher de soleil en mer 🥂

    Sophie_L, Aug 2024

    A ne pas manquer

    Axelle_N, Jul 2023
    Superbe excursion avec la compagnie Neptune Croisière. Croisière couché de soleil en petit comité ce qui lui vaut un bon rapport qualité/prix. Un skipper plein de bonne humeur, et apéro de qualité. Ne surtout pas oubliez son maillot de bain pour s’offrir un petit plongeon aux îles sanguinaires.

    Les grosses vagues nous...

    Marianne_G, Jun 2022
    Les grosses vagues nous ont empêchées de nous rendre sur les Îles…Nous sommes revenus , mais avons pris lunch et apéro ailleurs, c’était super agréable !
