Elba Island Scuba Weekend

Elba is a beautiful island in the Tuscany region known as the place where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled after his forced abdication. What really makes Elba famous and renowned, though, is its clear, blue sea and beautiful beaches. The extraordinary richness of its landscapes, both land and marine, turn the island of Elba into a unique destination in Tuscany. Your visit to Elba will be memorable and unforgettable.

What to Expect:

We will be staying on a boat for three days and two nights, moving around this beautiful island. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will all be included.

Itinerary:

• Friday - Trip from Vicenza to the port of Piombino. We'll park the vehicle and take the ferry boat form the port to Portoferraio Isola d'Elba. After the arrival we will walk from the ferry to our boat where we will have an appetizer to welcome us and then we will wait for dinner.
• Saturday - We'll depart from the port to our destination in the middle of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park where we will start our dives. If there is the chance and everything is favorable we will go for a night dive!
• Sunday - In the morning (after breakfast) we will dive a couple of times and then start our return trip. We'll arrive to the port early in the afternoon and take the ferry (first available) before returning home.

Outdoor Recreation will also be offering a dive option on this trip. A certified NAUI dive instructor will be available to guide you into the deep! Elba is the perfect place for outdoor sports and activities and among the most appreciated sports, there is diving and snorkeling in Elba thanks to its rich seabeds housing many different species of fish. Outdoor enthusiasts can also enjoy hiking and mountain biking.
