Full description
You, the protagonist of a postcard: that's the feeling you'll have looking back at the photos taken during this excursion.
3 hours to immerse yourself in the beautiful landscapes of the Calabrian coast, sailing from Tropea to Capo Vaticano by boat or dinghy (depending on the number of participants). Get ready to taste local delicacies, admire cliffs and coves, and dive with a snorkelling mask to discover the seabed.
Our advice? Always have your finger ready... for the next shot!
What we will do
We will meet in Tropea, 15 minutes before the time indicated in the booking.
From here we will cast off our moorings and begin our navigation by boat or dinghy (depending on the number of participants). As we head out to sea, we will make an initial stop to admire the picturesque cliff where the historic centre of Tropea rises and the famous beaches surrounding the rock of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Isola.
We will then depart to reach the Riaci rock, a riot of crystal-clear waters and special light reflections, which we will be able to admire by diving in with snorkelling masks (included).
The next stop will be at Capo Vaticano, where we will stop for a swim to discover enchanting white coves set among the granite rocks and washed by an emerald sea. Back on the boat, it will be time for anaperitif based on typical Calabrian products such as local schiacciata, grana padano, 'nduja, crostini, and taralli, accompanied by water and prosecco.
At the end of the aperitif we will take the road back to Tropea; en route we will make another stop for a swim in the Formicoli area, an ancient Roman port now home to many marine species.
We will return to the port after a 3-hour tour.
