A pleasant trip - I highly recommend visiting the beauties of Syracuse with the Dolphin Excursion. The staff at the pit is nice and friendly and the driver who made us go around the whole bay is very professional and attentive to the safety of tourists. The ride was more than pleasant and we had the chance to make a short stop for a refreshing bath. The boat is comfortable and equipped with a canopy, which in summer is essential to avoid sunburn. During the trip, a lot of historical information about the places is also provided. Congratulations to all the staff we will definitely be back 👍🙂

Beautiful caves and enjoyable boat ride - Caves were beautiful and the boat driver was very personable but unfortunately didn’t speak English.
The itinerary said 1 hour & 15 minutes with opportunity for quick swim/snorkel, we retrned to the dock in 45 mins without offer to swim.
