What we will do
Departure is at 9 a.m. in Palermo. We will meet with the skipper 15 minutes earlier for embarkation and, once everyone has settled on board the comfortable 10-person dinghy, we will set sail on time.
We will sail in the direction of the Monte Pellegrino Reserve and the Addaura Caves, famous for their graffiti depicting humans and animals from the Palaeolithic period. After about 20 minutes of sailing we will reach the place and stop for a bathing stop of about 1 hour in which we can explore the surroundings by SUP or sea scooter (available on board) or discover the seabed with some snorkelling.
Back on board, we will head towards a new Mediterranean pearl: the Capo Gallo Reserve, a true triumph of Sicilian nature where we can dive in and then have a packed lunch (not included and to be brought from home). The stop will last about one and a half hours.
In the afternoon, we will visit the suggestive Grotta dell'Olio, and stop for another swim stop of about 1 hour at the Cala dell'Olio.
We will then head towards the last stop of the day, the Bay of Mondello, where we will stay for another hour and a half. In one of the most picturesque corners of the coast, we will dive into the waters off this town and explore the marine fauna swimming beneath our boat.
After about 30 minutes of sailing, we will return to our starting point in Palermo. The activity will last about 8 hours in total.
