Full description
Sea, nature and history are the undisputed stars of this boat excursion to Taormina, one of the most fascinating locations in eastern Sicily.
Discover the natural wonders and caves along the coast, dive into one of Italy's most astonishing seas with mask and fins and swim among the colourful seabed.
And if you were wondering who will be leading you on this experience, know that there is an expert captain waiting for you, who will also offer you a delicious aperitif of typical Sicilian liqueur to toast to sea life and all this wonderfulness.
What we will do
Departure, 15 minutes before the time selected at the time of booking, will take place from the port of Giardini Naxos. Here we will be welcomed by the captain and board a comfortable boat.
We will begin our tour along the coast of Taormina. We will sail in the direction ofIsola Bella, admiring along the way historical buildings and natural cavities such as the Grotta del Giorno, illuminated by the sun's rays.
We will then approach Capo Taormina, an imposing promontory overlooking the Faraglioni of the same name, until we reach the unmissable Isola Bella. Here we will stop for a 20-minute swim and, for those who want to do some snorkelling, this is the ideal spot.
We will then set off towards the Grotta Azzurra, a sea cave with striking blue and bright red reflections that we can admire from the boat.
We will then turn around to return to the port, admiring the Bay of Mazzarò, the Bay of San Nicola and the Bay of Spisone. During the trip, the captain will also tell us about the curiosities and legends linked to these places, and offer us a typical Sicilian liqueur.
The activity lasts about two hours in total.
