Taormina boat tour program:
The tour departs directly from the Port of Giardini Naxos and lasts approximately two hours. After a friendly greeting from the captain, we set sail for the wonders of the Taormina coast.
The voyage begins along the waters of Cape Taormina, where you can admire colonies of orange coral, a true submerged treasure visible only from the sea. A pristine corner that fascinates every visitor.
The boat continues towards Isola Bella, one of the pearls of the Mediterranean. You’ll be able to observe it from a unique vantage point, directly from the sea, with the option of diving and swimming in its clear, emerald waters.
Continuing, we’ll enter the enchanting Blue Grotto, so named for its turquoise and emerald waters illuminated by the sunlight filtering through the entrance, creating spectacular reflections on the seabed. We’ll also stop at the Grotto of the Day, a fishermen’s refuge made magical by the play of light and shadow on the rocks.
The captain will then take you to the splendid Mazzarò beach for a refreshing swim in one of the bay’s most exclusive corners. A perfect place to relax, lulled by the sea.
To round off the experience, an aperitif will be served on board with fresh prosecco, artisanal almond pastries, and seasonal fruit. A moment of pure pleasure, surrounded by nature and the unparalleled views of Taormina and Mount Etna in the background.
