Full description
"Land in sight! " or, rather, "wonder in sight"!
Prepare to set sail from Milazzo for a 9-hour dinghy excursion that will take you to the beating heart of the Aeolian Islands. Between the black beaches of Vulcano and the elegance of Lipari, you will sail with a skipper to discover secret caves and transparent waters, ideal for some snorkelling.
A dive near the monumental Faraglioni, a visit to the Grotta del Cavallo and you're done: your Sicilian summer starts here!
What we will do
The rendezvous is 10 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Milazzo (ME), where the skipper will be waiting for us and will accompany us on our excursion.
After an initial welcome, we will board the dinghy and set sail, leaving the Sicilian coast behind us. In about 40 minutes of navigation we will reach the island of Vulcano and visit the bay of Punta Bandiera, before moving on to the Grotta del Cavallo. We will then head north and admire the famous Sabbie Nere (Black Sands) beach, which is of volcanic origin. Since it is not far from the port, we will take the opportunity to disembark and make a stop ashore.
Resuming our course, we will head towards the monumental Faraglioni of Lipari and the fascinating Arco degli Angeli. We will sail between the two islands with the possibility of disembarking at Marina Corta to explore Lipari and its ancient monastery. We will also stop at the Spiagge Bianche (White Beaches) , composed mainly of pumice stone sediments.
During the day we will make a few shore stops and about 5 or 6 stops to cool off with a swim and do some snorkelling. Each of these will take between 30 and 60 minutes. For those who chose the 'with lunch' option when booking, a typical banquet of couscous, caponata, parmigiana and fresh fruit will be served on board, accompanied by water, prosecco and soft drinks.
Finally, around 17: 00 we will begin the return to the departure point, where we will arrive by 18: 00.
The activity will last a total of 9 hours.
