During the excursion, you will have the opportunity to immerge and snorkel under the guidance of an experienced instructor and admire breathtaking views of enchanting beaches, protected coves, as well as the bay of Giglio Campese.

The latter, the largest beach on the island, is distinguished by its characteristic reddish sand and extends within a gulf bordered by an imposing cliff on the left and the historic Medicean Tower on the right, formerly used as a lookout post.
