Great, 10/10 recommend - My boyfriend went diving when I went snorkeling. These activities were great to combine. As I had no prior experience I just went with the large group. I had a lot of fun and if people have time to spare, I would 10/10 recommend this activity.

Amazing experience - Our guide Andrea was really nice and helpful. He was able to tell us more about the history of the coastline as we passed by. The snorkeling was a lot of fun with a lot of sealife to see. Andrea made sure everyone was comfortable.

Fantastic experience, the highlight of our week - Myself and the family (wife and 2 kids 11 and 13) travelled down from Cefalu for the trip, and although it was a 5 hour round trip, it was well worth it and the highlight of our week in Sicily. Andrea and his crew made us feel very welcome, and it was great to be looked after by such an experienced dive crew. The boat was a dive boat with all the space and facilities you would expect, as well as snacks and drinks on board at no extra charge. Our guide was great, and we had lots of time in the water at two great snorkelling sites. Highly recommended and a great value trip for the price.

Great snorkelling trip - Was a great trip with Andrea and he made sure we had a lovely time from start to finish. We saw lots of different fish and visited two different areas. Andrea explained the landscape throughout which made everything more interesting. At the end, we were offered showers and snacks which was a really lovely finish.

Beautiful day under water - We took our kids (age 14 and 17) on the 3 hrs snorkling excursion. They had only snorkled once before and this excursion was the perfect setting for them to enjoy the wonders of life under water. We were the only ones on the boat, so we had plenty of time. The weather and the water was perfect and our very helpful and enthusiastic guide, Andrea, took is to a perfect snorkling point. He was very knowledgeable and he even got in the water and snorkled with us. Much to our enjoyment he picked up an octopus for us to touch (don't worry the octopus was under water the whole time). The octopus would however have none of that, so he squirted all over and swam away - pretty funny situation. We would've loved to go on more excursions with the Etna and Sea Excursions but our time in Sicily is coming to and end. I highly recommend the Etna and Sea Excursions - they offer great guided tours, helpful, punctual and friendly staff.
