Free cancellation with full refund up to 24 hours before the start of the activity
Details
Reach with us one of the wildest islands of the Tuscan Archipelago! With our boat excursion to Capraia, you can discover this island far from the tourist routes, full of paths in nature and coves to explore.
We will leave from the port of Livorno and navigate towards Capraia with the commentary of our guides. After about 2 hours, we will get to the island, and you will have 6 hours to explore it on your own. You can walk along its paths that wind through rich Mediterranean vegetation and see the remains of the penal colony, which was the main function of the island until 1986. For lunch, you have the choice of eating in one of the restaurants on the island or on board our boat with us. An optional boat tour of the island is also available, with a stop to dive right from the boat into the pristine waters of Cala Rossa.
After exploring this unspoilt island, we will make our way back to Livorno.
