Nice round the coast! Great for two hours and good rates for children. - We had a nice skipper and was a nice two hour round the coast! Good atmosphere on board and plenty of space for everyone.

Beautiful sights! - It was originally booked for a different day however it had to be rescheduled due to the wind. They were flexible on times and dates for us to reschedule to. It was a fairly small boat which meant we were able to go into caves and grottos to have a look at the beautiful sights. Salvo (our skipper) was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. Enjoying prosecco whilst looking at the beautiful blue water was the perfect way to end our honeymoon

Relaxing, informative and scenic boat trip. - A great boat trip suitable for all ages ( our family group's ages were 84, 59 and 23). The views along the coastline of Giardini Naxos and Taormina were stunning and our captain gave us lots of interesting information about the places we passed. These included caves, rock formations and exclusive hotels. Definitely worth doing.

Wonderful!! - We took part in the sunset excursion to spot dolphins, with a ride to Isola Bella and the Blue Grotto. Led by Carmelo and Giuseppe, highly recommended!! Welcoming, friendly, attentive to our boys (10 and 12 years), talkative, they explained the story (even in an unconventional way) of everything we had around... An unforgettable experience! A little expensive, but really worth it with them. Congratulations!

Sicily is top-notch! - Sicily is beautiful, friendly, uncrowded! Skip the crowds of the mainland and go to Sicily! Driving is 'easier' but still challenging with the speed-demers and parking if necessary but the highways are relatively easy especially if you have a 'co-pilot'!

Beautiful boat ride - Oh we had so much fun on this boat tour! The captain was a great storyteller and historian ! He showed us the most beautiful spots and very cool resorts. Also gave us a chance to swim in Mazzarò Bay

Beautiful boat ride but careful swimming - Scenery was beautiful
Meeting point not well marked with no signage
Our hotel had to call to confirm where we were to meet
Captain was friendly but not proficient in English …also no microphone so most of us missed what he was saying
Very little information as to what we were seeing or the significance of the location
Warning about swimming….my daughter and another person on the tour were stung by jelly fishes….we later learned that this is very common …captain was unfazed and had nothing on board such as cold water or ice …
My daughter was in terrible pain for two days. The stingers are still in her body …
The swim was only a few minites… just look before you leap ..apparently jelly fish are plentiful and could be spotted from the boat

Wonderful views - Beautiful tour of the coast of the Naxos Gardens in Taormina. Quiet navigation, beautiful views of Taormina, cave of love, blue cave, isolable.
Simple but comfortable boat.
Guide a bit superficial in terms of knowledge, but it was OK.

No snorkeling - The trip ended up being approximately 20 minutes shorter than was advertised. In addition, snorkeling was advertised, but not provided. We were able to swim. However, they do not provide any towels.

Not worth the money - There were supposed to be a maximum of 16 yet there were 22 crammed onto a small boat. Claim that it is one of the best excursions is a stretch.
