Full description
Remember when your mum used to tell you not to take a bath after eating? In Sicily this rule does not apply. Here sea and food go hand in hand: a dip, a panella, a toast, another swim. And no one will judge you.
With this boat excursion to Isola delle Femmine (PA) you will spend four and a half hours between stops in spectacular bays, snorkelling and a tasting of Palermo street food served directly on board.
With the skipper guiding the route, all you have to do is choose whether to jump in the water first or on an arancina!
What we will do
The appointment will be 20 minutes before 10:30 at the meeting point in Isola delle Femmine (PA). The skipper will welcome us, ready to guide us to discover the Marine Protected Area of Capo Gallo - Isola delle Femmine.
After a short briefing we will set sail towards the first stop: Coral Bay. Here a welcome aperitif awaits us with typical sweets and fresh drinks, followed by a swim stop with snorkeling and floats.
Once back on board, we will head towards the islet of Isola delle Femmine. We will take half a tour around the island while the skipper will tell us stories and curiosities about the ancient Roman-era tanks visible from the boat. Then it will be time for another swim stop and a typical Sicilian tasting: panelle, crocché, sfincione, arancinette, cunzato bread prepared directly on board, accompanied by prosecco, beer or soft drinks.
The tour will continue to the beach of Isola delle Femmine, which with its natural pools with light seabeds will be an invitation to dive for everyone!
Finally we will return to Coral Bay for one last break with a zero km seasonal fruit platter, before returning to the port.
The activity will last a total of approximately 4 and a half hours.
