Full description
Forget the classic boat trips complete with snorkelling session. With the Crystal Boat, the first fully transparent boat, you don't need a mask and snorkel to see the seabed: you can enjoy every detail underwater without even getting your feet wet!
Colourful fish, corals and starfish will be visible directly below you, as in a giant natural aquarium. And that's not all: you will explore two of the most beautiful caves in the area from the inside, which will enchant you with their play of light and colour.
A50-minute excursion that will allow you to discover Syracuse as never before!
What we will do
We will meet at the time selected during the booking process in Syracuse. Upon arrival, the skipper will welcome us and take us on board the Crystal Boat, the first completely transparent boat.
We will start the navigation admiring the modern city from the perspective of the sea and then head towards two of the most fascinating caves in the area, La Bocca and Grotta delle Stalattiti. The latter will amaze us with its splendid colours, from the purple-red of the starfish to the orange of its tiny corals.
The transparency of the boat will allow us to explore every detail of these natural wonders, with a 360° view above and below the water. We will observe colourful fish and other sea inhabitants and take underwater photos from the comfort of the boat - a truly unique experience!
Near the caves we will also stop for a swim stop of about 10 minutes to dive into the clear waters and refresh ourselves. Finally, we will return to the starting point after about 50 minutes of the excursion.
