Full description
Fascinated by the idea of spotting dolphins?
Join our 3-hour boat tour along the Taormina coastline and set sail at sunset - the ideal time to see these cute cetaceans who love to chase the wake left by boats. Keep your smartphone handy because, with a bit of luck, you will be able to photograph them as they leap through the waves!
In addition to two swimming stops at enchanting spots such as the Bay of Sirens and Giardini Naxos, there will be music, entertainment, and a Sicilian aperitif. Toast with prosecco and almond paste!
What we will do
The rendezvous is just before sunset in Letojanni, where the crew and boat are waiting for us. We will then set off for the Baia delle Sirene, where we will make the first of two bathing stops, lasting about 20 minutes.
Back on board, we will continue our tour of the Taormina coastline first to Isola Bella and then to the Grotta Azzurra. The tour includes all the most picturesque spots in the bay, as far as Capo Taormina and the Faraglione del Fico d'India.
The second bathing stop, also lasting about 20 minutes, is at the beautiful Giardini Naxos Bay withMount Etna dominating the town and the splendid inlet with its transparent, uncontaminated waters.
The last part of the tour will be dedicated tospotting dolphins, which have chosen this stretch of coastline as their natural habitat for hundreds of years. With a bit of luck, we will be able to photograph them as they frolic in the waves.
There will also be music on board and a tasty aperitif with soft drinks, prosecco, water, fresh fruit, Sicilian delicacies and almond paste biscuits.
The excursion lasts a total of three hours and ends with the return to the port of departure.
