Half-Day Taormina Coast Cruise: Swim, Snorkel & Discover Isola Bella
Port of Riposto, Riposto, Italy
What's included
About the experience
This short yet immersive journey offers the perfect escape into nature’s beauty, ideal for travelers looking to experience Sicily from the sea.
Your adventure begins at the Marina Porto dell’Etna in Riposto, where you'll board your private boat and set sail toward the idyllic bay of Giardini Naxos. Nestled beneath Taormina’s rocky promontory, this area is known for its calm, turquoise waters and marine-rich grottos—making it a paradise for snorkeling lovers.
As we cruise further along the coast, you'll pass by stunning landmarks such as Isola Bella, Atlantis Bay, the Blue Grotto, and the scenic Sant’Andrea Bay. At one of these peaceful inlets, we’ll drop anchor, giving you the chance to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on deck surrounded by nothing but sea and sky. After soaking in the sun and sea, we’ll return to the marina with unforgettable views in every direction.
This half-day cruise stands out for its blend of adventure and tranquility—giving you access to some of the most beautiful and secluded parts of the Taormina coastline that are otherwise unreachable from land. Led by a local skipper who knows the region inside and out, this tour is flexible, private, and crafted with care.
Unlike packed group tours, you'll enjoy a personalized, crowd-free atmosphere and the freedom to relax at your own pace.
Whether you're snorkeling through natural pools or taking in the coastal charm from the boat, this is the perfect way to experience the magic of eastern Sicily in just a few unforgettable hours.
