Great trip to see the coastline - My husband & I booked this trip & it did not disappoint. Our guide was really funny and made the trip. He took us to all the spots listed and stopped and let us swim for a little bit. The two hours flew by quickly, but it is worth it if you’d like a different view from shore. And the caves were amazing.

Great trip - I booked this tour at the last minute in June as I had to wait for a family member to arrive. Great communication by Simona. The boat tour was a lot of fun, captain was super friendly and made the trip very entertaining. Really appreciated his hospitality as I was by myself for the day. The sights were beautiful. I tend to get seasick but not on this one thankfully! Was nice to go for a swim towards the end of the excursion, a beautiful spot for it.

A boat trip to do absolutely for the beautiful colors of the sea below!! - Excellent trip on the sea lasting about 2 hours.
We paid it € 30 each at the newspaper store in Giardini Naxos (Macrì Antonio's Agora Newsstand) and then we headed to the last restaurant across the harbor to get the actual tickets from a character sitting at a table outside the restaurant's terrace.
We left with our helmsman Angelo (former diving instructor and seaman since childhood) who took us to see the coast around the beautiful island, with a close view of the blue cave and other caves on the rugged coast.
He then stopped for a stop of about half an hour in a piece of crystal clear sea where it was possible to swim in the midst of many little fish waiting for company.
A good white wine was also served on board accompanied by delicious almond paste cakes.
The colors of the sea are in this corner of paradise beautiful!!
Gita more than recommendable!!
The price may vary depending on the booking channel.
It would seem different if it is booked online or requested directly from the Mr. who acts as an agent at the on-site restaurant.

Carmel n1 - Needless to comment on the wonder of the place, rather I would dwell on the kindness and helpfulness of our skipper, the legendary Carmelo. An experience that we will surely carry in our hearts, magical places and authentic people.

Exciting, pleasant and finally relaxing - Very pleasant experience that I highly recommend. The tour was really nice. We chose the one at 18.00 and it was fantastic because we could also admire the dolphins that sailed the waves on the last reflections of the setting sun and, last but not least, we really appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of Daniele and the skipper who accompanied us.
