Full description
If you are looking for your new favourite destination in Palermo, with this boat tour we are sure you will find it!
A4-hour excursion to immerse yourself in the unique views along the Gulf of Mondello, from Addaura toIsolotto delle Femmine and the Capo Gallo Reserve.
Lots of diving, snorkelling and a friendly skipper will make your trip simply unforgettable.
What we will do
We will meet at the port of Marina Arenella (PA), 10 minutes before the time indicated in the booking.
Here we will be welcomed by the skipper aboard a comfortable motorboat and, after settling in, we will begin our navigation along the Arenella coastline, the setting where an important part of the history of the Sicilian Florio family took place.
After about 25 minutes we will reachAddaura for our first swim in the beautiful waters of this sandy seaside village. The next stop will be Mondello, where we will take another swim accompanied by a snack of prosecco, water, tea, fresh fruit or granita.
Navigation will then take us through the Capo Gallo Marine Reserve, the most beautiful part of the tour. The picturesque panorama of Montegallo, a massive mountain overlooking the sea, will be the perfect place for 1 or 2 swimming stops, where we can snorkel with the equipment available on board and swim surrounded by a myriad of fish.
From here we will continue on toIsolotto delle Femmine, an enchanting island off the coast of Palermo. At 900 metres from the mainland, we will take another swim to admire the seabed.
From Isolotto delle Femmine we will return to Palermo in 40 minutes by boat. The bathing stops will last approximately 25 minutes and may vary depending on the weather and sea conditions of the day.
We will return to the port after a 4-hour excursion.
