Crystal-clear Mediterranean waters make Ajaccio an outstanding spot for snorkeling in Corsica. The city’s protected bays and rocky coves house a rich variety of marine life, from colorful fish to sea turtles.
We’re especially fond of the Cala D’orzu Sunset tour, which combines snorkeling with local treats and stunning coastal views. This 3-hour excursion hits all the right notes: expert guides, quality equipment, and access to secluded spots where marine life thrives. The bonus of Corsican snacks and sunset views makes it a smart choice for both beginners and experienced snorkelers.
