Full description
Imagine gliding through clear waters and secret coves, with the sun of the Costa degli Dei caressing your face.
On board the motorship Blue Ocean you will experience a 3-hour tour from Tropea to Capo Vaticano, amidst regenerating baths, dreamy panoramas and local curiosities waiting to be discovered.
Every dive and every tale will make you discover hidden corners of Calabria that you would hardly see from land. An aperitif with typical Calabrian products and wine enriches this unique experience!
What we will do
We will meet 30 minutes before the chosen time, at the meeting point in Tropea. Here we will find the captain and crew of the Blue Ocean motor vessel , ready to welcome us on board and prepare us for a tour along the Costa degli Dei!
We will start the navigation passing by the Grotta dello Skeleton or Grotta Bianca. We will then stop for our first 30-minute swim in the beautiful Riaci Bay, where we will listen to the tale of an old ship from the Great War and the caves created by two torpedoes. We will then continue to Formicoli, passing the remains of the ancient Roman port Forum Erculis and the 'Formiche' rocks.
We will sail around the three beaches of Praia di Fuoco, spotting the Mantineo rock and the Grotta dell'Amore. Our second stop will be the famous Grotticelle Bay; here we will have another 30 minutes to dive from the ship's decks or snorkel among the fish that populate these clear seabeds.
After swimming, we will relax on board to enjoy a typical aperitif consisting of various bruschettas accompanied by a glass of white wine or a non-alcoholic drink.
Finally, we will head towards the Spiaggia della Rotonda and the Grotta del Palombo for a final half-hour stop, where we will take incredible photos of the Rupe di Tropea seen from the open sea. We will finally return to the port of departure.
The activity will last a total of 3 hours.
