Full description
When you are in the mood for sea and beauty, the Palermo coastline offers great satisfaction!
Set sail in the company of a skipper and explore some of Palermo's most famous seaside resorts by dinghy, from the Gulf of Mondello to the Capo Gallo Reserve and theIsola delle Femmine.
Between snorkelling, dreamy panoramas and a Sicilian aperitif on board, it will be 4 hours you won't be able to get out of your head!
What we will do
The meeting will be at the indicated meeting point in Palermo, 15 minutes before the departure time.
The skipper will welcome us on board the dinghy and, after a short briefing, we will set sail in the direction of Mondello, sailing for about 20 minutes to our first stop. Right in the Gulf of Mondello we will stop for a swim of about 30 minutes, immersed in a turquoise sea with a view of the famous beach.
We will continue to the Capo Gallo Reserve, a protected area that houses the Grotta dell'Olio. If sea conditions permit, we can explore it with mask and snorkel, swimming in and admiring the play of light filtering in from outside.
After this experience, we will continue towards the marina of Sferracavallo. Nearby we will make a stop to enjoy an aperitif on board the dinghy with typical Sicilian specialities such as bruschette, panelle, crocché or other products depending on availability, accompanied by prosecco.
The last stop on our tour will beIsola delle Femmine, a nature reserve characterised by transparent waters rich in marine fauna. Here we will stop for about an hour, to have time to snorkel among the schools of fish or simply relax in the sun with some music in the background.
We will return to Palermo after a four-hour excursion.
