Full description
Imagine boarding a boat from Giardini Naxos and sailing out to sea, where a special encounter with friendly dolphins awaits . These beautiful animals will greet you with their amazing leaps, offering you a natural spectacle of intelligence and grace under a sky tinged with bright colours at sunset.
As you cruise, you will be captivated by views of Mount Etna and historic Taormina, along with the greenIsola Bella Nature Reserve and other enchanting scenery along the coast.
And to make it all the more enjoyable, the captain will treat you to a Sicilian aperitif on board, where traditional flavours come together in a ballet of local delicacies. So, what are you waiting for?
What we will do
Our adventure begins at the port of Giardini Naxos, where the captain will welcome us aboard a comfortable boat for an excursion along the picturesque Taormina coastline.
As we sail towards the enchanting Isola Bella, we will pass historical and natural wonders, including the sculpture resembling the 'Nike of Samothrace', the Grotta del Giorno and the imposing Faraglioni.
Isola Bella, with its Nature Reserve and crystal-clear waters, will be waiting for us for a refreshing stop (about 20 minutes): here we will have the opportunity to dive and swim or, for those who wish, do some snorkelling.
We will then continue on to the Blue Grotto, where the play of light creates a spectacle of colours. The return trip will be all about discovery as we sail through the bays of Mazzarò, San Nicola and Spisone, each with its own unique natural beauty.
But the most exciting moment will be when, at sunset, we will sail about half a mile away from the coast in search of dolphins. If we are lucky, we will be able to take some unforgettable photos as the sun sets on the horizon, painting the sky in a thousand colours.
During the return journey, the captain will enrich our trip with fascinating tales, local legends and an aperitif with Sicilian rusticos, liqueur or prosecco and almond pastries (aperitif included).
This approximately three-hour tour will end where it began, leaving us with unforgettable memories of Taormina.
