A great trip along the coast and swim in the sea - A great trip along the coast and swim in the sea. Our captain spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Finding the boat was a little tricky initially, as there’s no booth for this tour company, but we went on to the port next to the boats and Daniele was there to meet us, so it was easy enough.

Beautiful Boat Ride - We had beautiful views and a refreshing swim on a hot day. The friendly captain made it fun, and there was good communication directing us to the boat. I would do this again!

- We can't recommend this trip enough. Book as soon as you can through the edicolante with Antonio you won't be disappointed! The boat ride is amazing, Daniele e Salvo are the most perfect hosts, we learnt the history of naxos saw Taomina and the white lotus destination hotel. The guys fed us pizza and sicilian treats with prosecco and soft drinks...they then went out of their way to find the dolphins so we got the full experience! So happy we saw them swimming with our boat. Please be aware dolphins don't like the sun and heat too much so make sure if you do want to see them you go on the 6pm cruise so there is more chance to find them I can't wait to go again next year.

Daniele Salvo excursion - An unforgettable experience! We took part in a boat trip Daniele and Salvo to discover the dolphins and it was really magical. Captain Delfio was kind, professional.
The boat was comfortable, with ample space to enjoy the view and take pictures. After about half an hour of sailing, we spotted a small group of dolphins swimming near the boat – seeing them free in their natural habitat was exciting! Some even got close, playing in the waves.
I recommend this experience to anyone who loves the sea and nature. Also perfect for families with children. Do it again!

Fantastic excursion, felt like a movie scene, with views and swimming off the boat - Fantastic boat ride with gorgeous views and very nice captain. I highly recommend this boat excursion. It was very relaxing . We visited the Grotto Azzura, passed by UNo Capotaormina hotel with private beach, passed the Isola Bella and got to swim in the waters near Mazzaro Beach. We saw Etna mountain and Taormina from the water, the views were incredible, just like in the White Lotus series on HBO. The water was very clear and we saw a lot of colorful fish, so you can snorkel too. The captain treated us with prosecco and almond cookies and on the way back played classical Italian songs I grew up with. We took tones of photos and videos and I truly felt like a movie star on this boat ride. We had 9 people and our international party was very friendly and cheerful. Thank you very much for this fun experience, Daniele e Salva!

Nice morning on the water! - Carmelo was our captain, he explained everything we were looking at. Was funny and interacted with all the passengers as well as other boats in the area.
We were given a snack and drink at the swimming hole!
On our boat 1/2 the people went in for a dip.
Nice relaxing trip on the water for about 2 hours.
We got to see Toarmina and the isola Bella from the water.
Well worth it!
