Full description
Have you ever heard of the realm of the gods? No, you don’t need to climb Mount Olympus! All you need to do is come aboard to discover one of Calabria’s most spectacular and unspoilt coastlines.
During this 3. 5-hour excursion departing from Vibo Marina, you’ll sail with a skipper towards Tropea and Capo Vaticano. You’ll explore mysterious caves and go snorkelling, rounding off the day in style with a generous selection of traditional aperitifs on board!
What we will do
We’ll meet 15 minutes before departure at the designated meeting point in Vibo Marina (VV). We’ll meet the skipper and board a luxury motorboat, ready to set off on our adventure!
We’ll set sail from Vibo Marina, heading for Tropea. We’ll make our first 30-minute stop at the Grotta dello Scheletro (or Grotta Bianca) , where we’ll put on our masks and snorkels. The skipper will join us in the water to guide us as we snorkel inside the cave, famous for its play of light.
We’ll then continue on to the Forum Herculis, an ancient submerged Roman harbour, where we’ll make another 30-minute stop for a guided snorkelling session and stories about the site’s legends.
We’ll then sail to Riaci Bay for a 20-minute swim stop in front of the Grande Scoglio. Our final stop will take us to Capo Vaticano, in the stunning Grotticelle Bay (also known as Baia Blu) , where we’ll stay for 40 minutes. Here we’ll take a dip in the crystal-clear waters and enjoy an aperitif on board featuring typical Calabrian specialities such as cheeses, crostini, taralli, local delicacies and fresh fruit, accompanied by prosecco, white wine, juices and tea.
We’ll return to port after a total of three and a half hours.
