This tour includes a visit to the island of Ortigia and the sea caves and a stop in the Pillirina area which is part of the protected marine area of Plemmirio. We will sail along the north coast of Syracuse where, between a sip of fresh drinks and spritzes, we will approach the sea caves where, admiring them from the inside, you can discover the flora and fauna hosted.
You will visit the various caves inside: the Capuchin cave, the coral cave and finally the large cave, also known as the stalactite cave. The last stage will be in the Pillirina area composed of limestone and clayey rock, here you will discover these very white and enchanting coasts.

Alquilamos este mini tour espectacular e la isla de Ortigia, giro espectacular!
El capitán súper gentil y a la mano, nos explicó las cuevas en modo serio y con las leyendas populares de las personas que han crecido en esta zona!
Después nos llevaron a una zona que si no me equivoco se llama la pillirina! El mar era espectacular!
Los niños se divirtieron fullllll
Nos afrecio un óptimo vino espumante de la zona !
La única parte negativa es que dura poco tiempo! 🤣😍😜

The tour and especially the tour agency were absolutely top notch. We were impressed and aooreciative of the friendliness, attention, care and support that we received from Tolanda and her team at Sicily Travel. They reached out to us before the tour to inform us that the weather condition for our morning tour made it unsafe for us to see the sea caves. They provided options for us to cancel or take another tour. We were disappointed, so they suggested taking an afternoon tour when the winds were likely to subside. We agreed, but then what do we do for several hours???. Tolanda arranged tuk tuks for several of us to tour the city - which was a herculean feat since the cruise ships were at port - while she provided eating and shopping options for others. Dealing with a group of 10 is like herding cats - not easy at all - but they were flexible and helpful in meeting everyone's needs. It felt like we were with family. They were happy, smiling, joking and extremely flexible... and personally walked us to our boat. The boat ride itself was worth the wait. It was extremely relaxing and our driver was entertaining. I highly recommend the tour and especially since it is run by young small business owners and not some major corporate entity.

This “tour” is just a boat ride to see caves from the water. The skipper didn’t speak English though he was very pleasant. We did not enter any caves even though the ticket very clearly said “entry/admission included”. The meeting place was incorrect and we were redirected multiple times. If you want an expensive boat ride, this is the tour for you. If you want a tour, this is not!

Anyone looking for a boat trip in a small group will not be disappointed. Unfortunately, there was no explanation of the area or history. The boat driver does not speak English and there is no guide. Relaxed trip, more like a taxi than a tour.
