Additional Information

You don’t need an explanation as to why a boat ride along the Coast of the Gods (from Capo Vaticano to Briatico) is an essential experience to truly appreciate the beauty of this magnificent shoreline. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect: you’ll spend a day at sea accompanied by friendly local ship captains and witness breathtaking coves—the secretive caves and beaches of Capo Vaticano otherwise only known about, as they are inaccessible by land. We’ll make five pit stops at the most gorgeous spots, where you’ll have a chance to snorkel. On our way back, the final halt will be near the peak of Capo Vaticano, in crystal clear waters teeming with a colorful array of marine life and vegetation. We begin and conclude the tour at the same location.

Wonderful visit, wonderful guide - Exceptional service, recommended to everyone. Great friendliness and professionalism, as well as willingness to satisfy any request from the customer. The tour was wonderful, stopping in the most beautiful coves where we were able to enjoy an excellent swim; in addition to the fact that, under their guidance, we were able to admire one of the most beautiful caves which could only be accessed by diving. All this translates into a quality service.

Nice tour on a beautiful coast - It was beautiful but not spectacular. If you don't have a rental car and it's hard to get away from your holiday destination, you should definitely do it. We booked it through our hotel in Capo Vaticano for €40 per person. They said we would drive from here and the tour guide spoke German. Then there were probably too few of us and different tours were thrown together. We ended up having to go to Tropea (which wasn't a problem with a rental car and a 15-minute drive) and were even informed that a triathlon was taking place and that we would therefore have to park outside and walk a bit to the harbor. That was very good. In the end there were 12 of us on a small boat for about 10 people. There was still enough space, but you're basically sitting directly on the water and aren't protected from the sun or wind, so be sure to take a sweater, scarf and a cap with you. The coast is beautiful, the water is great and the guide is very friendly, although he only speaks Italian and a little English (which isn't a problem for us). He had diving goggles and snorkels for everyone. We saw jellyfish and a lot of fish that we lured with food. But they weren't ultra spectacular, colorful fish and corals. Still nice. We stopped for a swim and were fed. It was a good tour and a nice activity, but you should tone down your paradisiacal ideas a bit. Maybe there are other sea creatures to discover seasonally, but in May they were just very simple fish. All in all, it's still a tour that you can do for €40 per person

Must do in Capo Vaticano! - This boat trip was really great! Scenery was beautiful, snorkeling was great! My only issue is that we were told we would have a captain who spoke English. I booked this months in advance and when we showed up we were told they did not have an english speaking captain available. Our guide was fine, very nice, but we didnt understand a word he said and it made it very difficult to communicate with him.
