Great trip for all ages - We did this trip with family and friends (includes everyone from 11 year olds - senior citizens. We loved our experience. The boar owners were friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The boat ride did not take us far, but the cove they stopped in for swimming was great. The tour provided snorkel equipment, masks, water scooters, a floating mat, and pool noodles; something for everyone. I would highly recommend this trip.

Esperienza fantastica! - Semplicemente fantastico! Angela helpful, nice, easygoing, puts you at ease right away! Try to accommodate every request. I celebrated my friend's birthday and she threw me cake and prosecco. What about the cake? Divina! Fresca di giornata strepitosa! What about Luca, the skipper? Tipico siciliano doc! A mixture of sympathy and hilarity that drags you into a fantastic sunset... Thanks for everything and see you soon! Erica

Sunset cruise in Sicily - Nice sunset and swim. They didn’t go out very far, but that was great for our travel buddy who was a little leery of boats. The crew was wonderful, the street food snacks were great.

Beautiful and Fantastic Trip of A lifetime❤️ - The views were absolutely amazing, the hospitality shown by our hosts Angela & Lucca were second to none, they could not have done more than what they did to make us welcome and make this trip for me and my family of one that we will cherish and remember for ever. The food was excellent, I cannot recommend this trip anymore, but it was just amazing very relaxing and watching the sunset was something that me and my family will always remember. Thank you Angela & Lucca From the family of 5 (Brits) along with our two Australian New friends. ❤️xx

Boat sunset - Great time spent in the company of Angela and people present with us, hearty aperitif and superb swimming, only negative we made 1 stop contrary to what was indicated and the activity lasted less than 3 hours, I recommend anyway 😁

Rather modest, you don't really need - The tour is modest, practically you only see the industrial port. The grotto is a loxh in the rock, inaccessible, above ugly residential buildings. There is water and 1 Aperol Spritz, plus cheap, fatty street food, lots of bread, fried, no meat or cheese. The sunset is not one. The sun quickly disappears behind a mountain and you sit in the boat, blown around by the diesel stench, that’s it. The hosts are friendly and nice, which is positive. Until the last moment, we didn't know where the meeting point was and which ship awaited us, probably for good reason. Disappointing and way too expensive. For communication you absolutely need a mobile phone. Attention: Departure time is often given incorrectly on reservation, about 2.5 hours before sunset.
