What we will do
The rendezvous is 30 minutes before the indicated time in Castellammare del Golfo, in the province of Trapani. On arrival, we will meet the crew on board the wooden gozzo and receive an initial briefing on the itinerary, the planned stops and the course of the experience at sea.
We will set sail from the Gulf of Castellammare, beginning the coastal navigation towards some of the most evocative locations in the area. The first stop will be Cala Bianca, where we will stop for a swim of about 15 minutes. We will then continue towards the Faraglioni of Scopello and the historic Tonnara, where we will make a second stop to admire the landscape and take a dip in the sea.
Next, we will enter the Zingaro Nature Reserve, skirting stretches of unspoilt coastline and reaching Cala dell'Uzzo for a further stop in the water. During the navigation we will also pass by sea caves and characteristic coves such as the Grotta degli Innamorati and the Grotta dei Piccioni. The route takes us along several kilometres of rugged coastline between bays and cliffs typical of western Sicily.
An aperitif will be served at the Tonnara di Scopello and will include cunzato bread, chips, peanuts, prosecco or soft drinks.
Finally, after about 4 hours of hiking, we will return to the starting point.
