The 2-hour boat tour takes you to discover the island of Ortigia from a different point of view, that of the sea. From the boat you can admire the splendid historic buildings and the fascinating Maniace Castle. With the boat you will enter some sea caves where the marine flora offers magical colors and will give you an exciting experience. During the tour we will make a short stop to relax and you will have time to immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters of the Sicilian sea, in the meantime we will be happy to offer you some prosecco.

Overall a very nice boat trip with very friendly skipper, great views at Ortigia and its surround areas as well as a few caves (you don't go in deep though), and a great swim stop.

It was everything we expected and it’s a nice tour, I definitely recommend it. The boat captain was very friendly. The boat isn’t luxurious but it’s comfortable and worth the price.

Really enjoyed our boat trip with Marco.

The caves were beautiful and we had plenty of time for swimming in 2 locations.

The sea is so clear to swim in and there are lots of sights to see.

We booked this trip with 3 small children and had a nice boat trip around the island and the caves of Syracuse. Had a nice swim at one of the caves. Captain Marco was well willing to tell interesting details about the buildings and other monuments. Recommended 5/5

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!

It was a really beautiful trip along the coast of Siracusa.
You sail straight into the caves and that was very impressive and beautiful.
You also get the opportunity to swim and snorkel which was also very nice. Saw many different types of fish.
REALLY RECOMMENDED

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.

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.
