Tuscan coastal vacation activities and tours

Literally a land boasting miles of unspoilt beaches and with an abundance of archeological treasures, thermal spas, forests, historical villages and a mountainous landscape all just a few steps away from the sea.

The legend is the islands of the archipelago come from a crown that Venus lost as she swam in the waters of the Mediterrean. Each island is different from the other, and they are truly unique in the world. The islands are perfect for holidays with their sandy beaches, little inlets and the rocky coastlines that together make up the largest marine park in Europe with around 60 thousand hectares of protected waters around the islands of Capraia, Giannutri, Gorgona, Montecristo and Pianosa, and 18 thousand hectares of protected land on the larger islands of Elba and Giglio.

It is possible to tour, hike, dive and sail the islands of Elba, Giglio, Giannutri and part of Capraia - a completely volcanic island. Capraia is visited today by scuba divers attracted by the ocean floor, crystal clear inlets, wide variety of marine life and many underwater caves. The island of Gorgona still has a prison and it is only possible to visit the island on organised and authorised trips. Pianosa also hosted a prison until recently. To complete the list, all of Montecristo is a natural reserve so protected that only 1000 visitors can set foot here each year.

This romantic and varied area is perfect for those wishing to enjoy the famous Tuscan sun, wine and good food while getting their feet wet and and a great tan. The opportunities for tours, treking, biking and wine are abundant - but so are the possibilities of enjoying Tuscany from the seaside.

Coasteering in Tuscany

a physical activity that encompasses movement along the intertidal zone of a rocky coastline on foot or by swimming, without the aid of boats, surf boards or other craft.

Ralph wrote... Guido, on behalf of myself and Jo Anne, I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful tour of Tuscany that you provided during our recent visit to Italy. We had a wonderful time meeting your friends, seeing the beautiful countryside, and enjoying the great wine. We look forward to telling our many friends about you and your great services, and hopefully we can work with you on a villa at some point in the future.

Darren and Anna wrote.... Our favorite moment by far Guido, and we're not kidding, the best experience of our lives to date was our day with you. We will remember this day forever, and we're telling people back home mostly of that day, so it really meant a lot to us you brought us there. Thank you so much!

Christina with her great experience and knowledge of the area put together an unforgettable experience which satisfied several of my interests including food, wine, art, culture, and walks through the countryside. Guido added even more to the experience with his local knowledge, contacts, positive energy, and his light hearted and friendly manner. The small group of women that Christina put together for this trip couldn't have been better. She is very sensitive to the needs of the group and obviously has the respect of her many terrific contacts in this region."
