Sunset cruise - very relaxing. - Nice relaxing cruise along the coast at Taormina. Don't forget to bring your swimmers as you stop in one of the bays to go for a dip.

Great boat trip from Naxos to Taormina - The boat trip was really great. Our captain was entertaining and in a good mood. We drove to two caves by boat, had a short swim stop (about 20 min) in a small bay with wonderfully clear water. There was Prosecco and Arancini on the boat and it was playing good music. In the end we were even lucky and could see some dolphins. The tour starts in Naxos past Toarmina and Isola Bella and then a bit further and at the end back again. We enjoyed it very much and can only recommend it. On the descent you have to be on time, because they are quite strict ;)

Sunset cruise from Naxos - A great way to see Naxos and Giardini’s beautiful coastline and Isola Bella Island. Gianluca was a great host. The arancini snack and Prosecco was well received accompanied by recorded Italian music set the atmosphere. The swimming area near the Blue Grotto was fabulous . We were fortunate to see dolphins. Boarding and disembarking was easy. Note, the boat is small and there is no toilet onboard. Would recommend this sunset cruise.

One of many highlights - Amazing experience a lovely way to finish the day and we did get to see dolphins mostly at a distance but several times leaping. Gianlucca was a great host very informative and funny at times, the Prosecco and nibbles were a great touch. The music was fun bit tongue in cheek and he had a tune for each occasion. 2.5 hours flew by and you get to see some of the main sites and caves along the coast which are explained one of the highlights was swimming off the boat something I’d never done before. As the sun went down shimmering off the water we headed back it was really magical with Macarena blasting out in the background lol. Certainly an experience I will remember for ever well worth the money.

If you can't speak Italian, don't rely on the English tour guide being on your boat - When booking i was given the option of an English or Italian guide for the trip, and chose English. On arrival we were directed to one of two boats. As we set off on our tour it became clear we had been placed on the boat with the Italian guide, luckily for us there were a couple of young ladies who helped translate for us. (I know we were in Sicily and we shouldn't expect everyone to talk in English, but don't offer an English guide if the guide is only going to speak Italian). Having said that, it was nice to be amongst Italian's / Sicilian's enjoying themselves, so friendly. The tour was really good and fun trying to spot dolphins, even though they didn't want to play on this occasion. Food was pizza!

THE BUSINESS IS NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE - Pleasant boat ride, but does not reflect the characteristics reported in the program I booked (by Viator). Ok the prosecco, but no offer of water and much less the long-awaited arancini, replaced by simple focaccia. Approximate description of the locations, it looked like an impromptu tour. Even the duration did not reflect the schedule, we returned early.
