The Boulevards along the Vistula river are the ideal place for a stroll or a bicycle trip. The exceptional atmosphere of this site is created by the sail-shaped lamp posts and pergolas that offer shade on sunny days. You can stop to rest on one of the stone sculptures in the form of fish and other marine creatures, or climb up to the overlook. The promenade is adapted to the needs of people with disabilities and families with children. To avoid the crowds and give your feet some rest, check out Vistula river boat tours.

Famous within the surfing community for its strong winds and barrelling waves, this idyllic beach off the beaten track is the worst kept secret of Bonifacio. The Plage de la Tonnara also shows off one of the most mesmerising sunsets in Corsica. For those looking to get involved in the action, there are various aquatic vessels for rent such as kayaks, windsurf boards and surfboards nearby.

For adventurous hikers unafraid of heights, a journey to the Pertusato Lighthouse is a thrill. A scenic two hour trek from Bonifacio leads amblers up to a cliff overlooking some breathtaking views and down to a secluded beach, so make sure to bring your swimmers. The lighthouse itself is closed, but the surrounding areas covered in bright limestone make it well worth the walk.

For brave souls seeking the world’s most exhilarating swim, Devil’s Pool delivers an unforgettable adrenaline rush. This natural rock pool, sculpted by millennia of erosion, sits precisely on the precipice of Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi’s waters cascade 100 metres into the gorge below. Accessible only during the dry season (typically mid-August to mid-January), the experience begins with a boat ride to Livingstone Island — the very spot where explorer David Livingstone first laid eyes on the falls in 1855. The adventure continues as visitors wade and swim through gentle currents, guided by experts to the pool’s edge. Here, a submerged rock lip creates a natural barrier, allowing swimmers to peer safely over the thunderous drop while the river’s force swirls around them. In the driest months (October-November), some may walk across exposed rocks to reach the pool, though a guide remains mandatory. While the sight of bathers lounging at the waterfall’s brink makes for iconic photos, the reality is even more breathtaking. As over 500 million litres of water plunge past each minute, the pool’s deceptive calm contrasts with the roaring abyss just beyond your fingertips. Five daily tours depart for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, though nature dictates the schedule — high waters from March to May render the pool inaccessible. For those who dare, Devil’s Pool offers not just a swim, but a visceral connection to the raw power of Africa’s greatest waterfall.
