The national park spans seven major islands, including Elba, Giglio, and Capraia, covering 17,887 hectares of land and 56,776 hectares of marine environment.

Archaeological findings indicate continuous human settlements on these islands since ancient times, with Elba's iron mines operating until the twentieth century.

The islands contain numerous scientific specimens, including 150 varieties of crystals from Elba that are displayed in natural science museums across the globe.

Access to Montecristo Island requires special permits and is limited to one thousand visitors annually, while Gorgona allows only 75 daily visitors.
