What we will do
The rendezvous is at the tourist port of Tropea. We will be welcomed by a skipper who will guide us on the boat, a 10-metre dinghy with 35 seats, and will show us all the beauties of the Costa degli Dei along the way.
The first stop will be Santa Maria dell'Isola di Tropea, characterised by a white beach and azure sea. Immediately afterwards we will skirt the Sanctuary of medieval origin, symbol of the city, erected on a rock, and head towards the suggestive Grotta dello Scheletro.
Immediately afterwards we will reach the Formicoli Beach, with its fine sand and from which you can even see the Aeolian Islands. This area is surrounded by beautiful stacks overhanging the sea. Wearing masks and snorkels, we will be able to snorkel and admire the beautiful seabed rich in flora and fauna.
The last destination of our excursion will be Capo Vaticano. Here, scenery of rare beauty awaits us, with sheer cliffs, enchanting coves and caves that can only be reached by boat. After a stop for snorkelling, we will sail back to Tropea.
The excursion lasts a total of three hours.
