Experience a film adventure in the waters of Syracuse with a two-hour tour between Ortigia and Plemmirio. Together with a skipper, you will explore beautiful caves and snorkel to admire the beauty of underwater life!
Did you always think snorkelling was simply 'putting your head under water and watching the fish'? Well, forget it. This is not the usual trip into the sea: it is a real snorkelling course, structured in two excursions on the same day, designed for those who want to learn to venture underwater with awareness. All in the Plemmirio Protected Marine Area! With the help of an NAD-certified instructor, you will tackle the first technical approaches to the discipline and will take home not only a total experience, but also an official Snorkel Diver licence valid worldwide!

05 Aug 2026 | Plemmirio Nature Reserve boat tour with snorkelling
A lovely boat trip with two stops for a swim. During the first one, with our snorkelling masks on, we saw lots of fish. The boat has glass-bottomed panels, which allowed us to enjoy the seabed throughout the trip. We don’t speak Italian and only a little English. Vittorio adapted his explanations to French for the main descriptions and used his phone to provide the historical details. It was brilliant – thanks again!

We went on the boat tour today. As well as the wonderful caves we visited and the crystal-clear sea we swam in, we were really impressed by the service and friendliness of the crew. Excellent value for money – I’d do it another 100 times.

I signed my two kids up last minute for the 6-hour snorkelling class/tour. They had a wonderful time, and both of them announced that the excursion was the highlight of their trip to Sicily (beating out both parasailing and downhill mountain biking). My daughter picked up the technique quickly, but my younger son struggled a bit. One of the instructors patiently helped him control his breathing in the water, and by the end of the trip, my son was hooked and wanted to do more snorkelling. The dives themselves were a lot of fun, and the kids saw fish, an octopus, coral, jellyfish, and on the way to one dive site, dolphins. The guides took videos and photos and sent me them on WhatsApp afterwards. My only regret was not having sent my kids with extra cash, because they enjoyed the excursion so much I had wanted to leave a more generous tip!
