Clone of 5 days of walking on scenic trails, swimming and relaxing on Giglio Island
A special trip for sea and hiking lovers, among spectacular landscapes, paths and small coves where to swim
On this trip we will take five days to get to know of the most beautiful islands in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, the Giglio Island
Together with our Environmental Excursion Guide, Marco Ballatore, and with the support of our minibus for day trips, we will walk on the island’s paths to discover the splendid panoramas that surround Giglio Castello and to reach magnificent beaches and coves where to have a well-deserved swim. We will also visit the island with a boat trip, to embrace the views from the sea.
The price includes all the excursions, lunches, the ferry to the Giglio Island, the boat trip, the transport of our minibus in the various excursions and also some sections with buses.
The appointment for the trip is in Porto Santo Stefano, but if you want we can give you a free ride on our minibus that leaves and returns to Turin with the Guide.

Mailing è la nostra nuova Guida! La Natura è sempre stata al centro della sua vita: Guida Escursionistica Ambientale e Guida Parco Aree Protette Alpi Marittime, si è occupata dello sviluppo del turismo slow nell’Alta Langa piemontese, che è diventata la sua seconda casa, e infatti proprio lì l'abbiamo conosciuta, qualche anno fa. Ama camminare su lunghe distanze e dall’unione con la sua grande passione per la botanica è nato il desiderio di condividere passeggiate, momenti in compagnia e di “andar per erbe”.
Se non cammina legge, e si occupa di educazione ambientale con progetti sulla tutela della biodiversità, collaborazioni con associazioni culturali, articoli e racconti in cui porta le radici un po’ selvagge che hanno plasmato il mondo della sua infanzia.
I viaggiatori di Giroola la conoscono già per le camminate nella Lavanda a Sale San Giovanni e per un viaggio in Camargue in cui è corsa in soccorso a Luca, infortunato. Nella stagione 2025 Mailing ha preparato per noi uno straordinario viaggio all'Isola d'Elba!
Questo viaggio è costituito da escursioni di livello intermedio, su sentieri di montagna con pendenze a tratti marcate, nelle quali si cammina per circa 6-7 ore totali.
Non sono presenti tratti esposti o particolari difficoltà tecniche.
Consigliamo questo viaggio a chi è abituato a camminare in montagna su dislivelli intorno agli 800 metri per diversi giorni consecutivi e ha voglia di condividere con il gruppo e con una guida escursionistica esperta un trekking in luoghi ricchi di bellezza.
Se hai un dubbio sulle difficoltà tecniche o sulla lunghezza del percorso, puoi contattarci e parlare direttamente con l'accompagnatore che ti potrà consigliare al meglio in base alla tua esperienza e alle tue esigenze.

Dinners are not included, because we want our travelers to be free to eat and drink what they feel like, without the constraints of a set menu or set price. In a trip to the sea like this, it is not uncommon for someone to prefer to stay lighter, while others may want to indulge in fish dishes. Our guide will organize the dinner for the group listening to their opinions and tastes, and will be with the group for the evening.

- If you are coming by car, in Porto Santo Stefano right on the harbor there are several guarded parking lots where you can leave your car at rather affordable rates

Questo viaggio comprende giornate e momenti di escursioni a piedi e altri di relax in ambiente di mare. Occorrerà fare la valigia tenendo presente queste caratteristiche.
Abbigliamento
Per la parte escursionistica, la cosa migliore è un abbigliamento a strati, fresco e traspirante. (Potrebbe esserti utile il nostro articolo con 4 consigli per scegliere l'abbigliamento da escursione).
- un pile leggero o una maglia
- una giacca antivento e antipioggia (anche se contiamo di non averne bisogno)
- pantaloni da trekking non eccessivamente pesanti, in grado di asciugare rapidamente e soprattutto con parti elasticizzate per favorire i movimenti ed essere confortevoli.
Calzature
- L'ideale sono le scarpe basse da escursionismo, adatte quindi a camminare su sentieri e percorsi sterrati. (Se vuoi approfondire dai un’occhiata al nostro articolo sulle calzature da trekking! )
Zaino e Valigia
- zaino di 20-30 litri per escursioni giornaliere, con un coprizaino in caso di pioggia (non si sa mai!).
- un trolley o valigia per i tuoi vestiti e effetti personali per tutto il viaggio da caricare sul minibus e che porteremo in hotel
Da non dimenticare
- un paio di occhiali da sole
- crema solare
- costume da bagno
- scarpette da scoglio
- borraccia per l’acqua
- un berretto ed una fascia per proteggere la fronte e le orecchie dal vento (non si sa mai)
Bastoncini da trekking
Ideali sia in salita che in discesa per diminuire lo sforzo dei muscoli delle gambe ed attenuare il carico sulle articolazioni
In our hiking tours you will find solo travelers, couples, or pairs of friends, and in a small group of eight it’s easy to become friends straight away. This tour is perfect for those that traveling alone but don't want to be on their own for the whole trip. You're independent and you can choose if and when to share your free time with the group.
Our travelers are people who know how to travel, in fact they arrive independently to the place of the appointment, mainly from all over Italy (but not only) and who choose to take a trip with us to learn differently about places, people, flavors and traditions. We are proud to say that our travelers are the best part of our trips!
Solo travellers are always welcome in our tours, and if you feel like sharing a double of triple room with other members of the group we will send you an e-mail after your reservation and you will be able to tell us about your preferences (for example, if you are a girl and you would like to share a room with girls only etc). You will not pay any surcharge.
If you prefer, you can book a single room for a fee.
If there are no other solo travellers in your tour or if there is no opportunity to satisfy your preferences, your single room will be offered by us at no extra charge.
All our tours are directly made by us, Giroola Srl, via Amorosa 3, 10030 Villareggia (TO) (P.iva 11671600010, Scia 19022017-1520 Suap 9007)
During the tour you'll be covered by our Civil Responsibility Assurance (Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, via Corte d'Appello 1, 10122 Torino, nr.2007/03/2276452).
We adhere to the Guarantee Fund (art.50 Dlgs 23.05.2011 n.79) which can be used by all travellers provided they have a contract in case of bankruptcy or insolvency for the refunding of the price paid. (Fondo Garanzia Viaggi Srl, via Nazionale 60, 00184 Roma, certificate n. A/146.1485/5/2017).
Booking Policy, from the General Terms and Condition for the Sale of Tour Packages:
3) RESERVATIONS
Acceptance of reservations by Giroola Srl is subject to availability. Reservations will be considered final following confirmation by Giroola Srl, even via e-mail or fax, to the client.
Indications relative to the tour package not contained in the contract documents, brochures or other forms of written communication, will be supplied in time by Giroola Srl prior to the initial starting date in compliance with its duties as envisaged by Legislative . decree n. 79/2011.
4) PAYMENT
Upon booking, a registration fee and a deposit of 25% of the total amount is required. Full payment is due 30 days prior to departure. For reservations made within 30 days of departure, full payment is due upon booking. Lack of payment of the abovementioned sums on the dates established constitutes grounds for cancellation of reservations such as to determine, on the part of Giroola Srl, the right to terminate the contract.
5) TRANSFER OF CONTRACT
The client renouncing the contract may be substituted by another person provided that:
a) Giroola Srl be given written notice at least 4 weekdays prior to the date of departure, together with the necessary personal data of the transferee;
b) The transferee be able to satisfy all the conditions for the fruition of the service ( ex article 10 of Legislative decree n.111/95) and in particular the requisites relative to passports, visas, health certificates;
c) The transferee refund Giroola Srl for all expenses incurred for the transfer of the contract for the sum specified before the transfer.
Moreover, the transferor and the transferee are both accountable for the payment in full of the tour package price as well as for the sum as per item (c) of the present article.
As far as certain types of services are concerned, third party suppliers have the right to refuse the substitution of the transferee, even if effected within the time limit specified as per item (a) of the present article. Giroola Srl will therefore not be held responsible for the eventual non-acceptance of the substitution on behalf of third parties. This non-acceptance shall be notified in good time by Giroola Srl to the parties involved before departure.
6) WITHDRAWAL
In the event of withdrawing from the tour package contract, the client is, in any case, liable for the payment of the tour package price. If withdrawal takes place for reasons beyond those envisaged in article 7 of the present General Terms, the client shall pay, in compliance with ex article 1373, paragraph III, Italian Civil Code, cancellation penalties as specified below:
- 10% of the tour package price within 30 days prior to departure
- 30% of the tour package price from 29 to 18 days prior to departure
- 50% of the tour package price from 17 to 10 days prior to departure
- 75% of the tour package price from 9 to 3 weekdays prior to departure
- 100% of the tour package price beyond these terms.
7) WITHDRAWAL OF CLIENT WITHOUT PENALTY
The client may withdraw from the contract, without incurring any penalty, in the following circumstances:
- a significant change of one or more elements of the contract which can be objectively considered as fundamental for the fruition of the tour package in its entirety and proposed by Giroola Srl.
- after the conclusion of the contract itself but prior to departure and not accepted by the client.
In the abovementioned circumstances, the client is entitled to the following options:
- the fruition of an alternative tour package, with no increase in price or with the restitution of the excess in price, if the second tour package costs less than the first;
- the restitution of any sum corresponded as partial payment. Said restitution must be made within seven weekdays from receiving the request for reimbursement.
The client must communicate the decision (to accept the change or to withdraw) within two weekdays from receiving notice of the price increase or change. In the absence of specific notice within the said term, the proposal made by Giroola Srl will be considered accepted. The client who decides to withdraw from the contract before departure for circumstances beyond those listed above shall pay, after deducting the account paid as per article 4, the penalty indicated in article 6.
8) TOUR VARIATIONS
Variations to the tour, requested by the client, after the confirmation of booking, could involve processing expenses for Giroola Srl and at times penalties charged by suppliers. If so, the customer will be charged. Partial withdrawal of some of the travellers under the same contract and the resulting decrease in number of tour members is to be considered partial cancellation and is consequently regulated as stated in article 6.
As specified in our General Conditions of Sale of tourist packages, when you travel with Giroola you are covered by our Civil Liability Insurance. For all that could happen and that was due to our negligence or error, we have signed a policy (Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, nr.2007 / 03/2276452).
There are other insurance policies that we recommend and for which we have chosen to work with Allianz Global Assistance, whose Globy range seems to us to be the most suitable for our travelers:
- TRAVEL CANCELLATION - Our 8-person trips are often full months before the date of travel, and even if our cancellation policy is actually much more flexible than expressed in our Booking Policy (our travelers can attest to this, we are very available to move the trip in case of unexpected even the last minute), where other facilities are involved (hotels, rentals, etc) some expenses are not really refundable, and therefore a good trip cancellation insurance becomes a valuable ally.
- HEALTH and ASSISTANCE
We at Giroola are an agency of the Globy network of Allianz Global Assistance, and we can therefore provide you with all the information, make estimates and issue the policies directly with the booking.
For any information our Paola is at your disposal at the phone number +39 370 3506333, at the address [email protected] or in the chat directly on this page.
