A magical experience exploring the sea caves and swimming and snorkling in the beautiful waters off Syracuse. Skipper Steven was passionate about the area and kept us well informed. The small group of 10 meant we had plenty of room on the boat. Loved his choice of music too!

Wonderful experience, thankyou to our guide Gaetano. The water was amazing to swim in and conditions perfect.

Marian_H

Boat experience was great. A small number of people onboard (10) . Had time to swim although snorkelling only with a mask and not much to see underwater. Travelled the extent of the island. Commentary by the captain was good.

Yelena_C

The boat ride was nice, it would have been great if the guide shared some history and information about Siracusa and the landmarks that we were seeing or the caves that he masterfully navigated. The snorkeling wasn't that great because there wasn't much sea life to observe. The fruit was a bowl of grapes and pears and one bottle of prosecco for the group.

Stephan the Captain was great. However, there was no snorkeling or swimming in the caves as the picture/description on the site described.

had we not taking this boat tour we would not have had the opportunity of seeing the caves and the stalactites. The captain of our boat was a good ambassador for the area .

haakon_langtvedt

We had a excellent excursion and a captain Steven did a amazing job and even let my kids steer the boat. He was a funny individual and he even named the caves one of them was named after a superhero. He told stories about the places and it was quite the experience
