Simply unforgettable experience! - We did this boat tour in Syracuse and it was undoubtedly one of the best moments of our holiday. Sailing around Ortigia and discovering the sea caves from the sea is something unique: crystal clear water, incredible views and a tranquility that is hardly found elsewhere. But the most exciting moment was when we saw the dolphins: a magical experience, which made the tour special.
The staff was super welcoming and professional, always helpful and attentive to every detail.

A magical experience between sea and nature! - Unforgettable tour! Seeing the island of Ortigia from the sea is spectacular, but the real magic was the stop at the Blue Grotto, with water reflections that take your breath away. The highlight? The incredible thrill of spotting dolphins in their natural habitat: an unexpected gift that made everything perfect. Staff prepared, nice and attentive. An experience that I recommend to anyone visiting Syracuse. Five stars overdeserved!

Fairytale tour - An experience that we will cherish forever! The boat tour to the caves of Syracuse was simply magical. Sailing along the coast, entering the caves with those incredible colors and the crystal clear sea is already something unique... but the most exciting moment was the sighting of the dolphins! Seeing them swimming free next to the boat was an indescribable emotion.
The skipper was fantastic: professional, passionate and always attentive, he told us the territory with love making us feel part of something special. Syracuse seen from the sea is pure wonder. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to live an authentic, exciting and unforgettable experience. Absolutely to be redone!
