Wonderful boat ride not lunch on board - Wonderful 4-hour boat tour: crystal clear sea, spectacular caves and relaxing bathing stops. Lunch on board, simple and genuine, makes the experience even more enjoyable. Friendly and professional crew, quiet and well organized atmosphere. A perfect way to experience the sea of Ortigia without haste.

Memorable hike!! - This four-hour boat trip around the island of Ortigia with a stop in the Plemmirio nature reserve is a suggestive and relaxing experience. The navigation offers spectacular views of the ancient walls, sea caves and crystal clear waters. The stage in the Plemmirio nature reserve allows you to swim in uncontaminated places and observe the coastal fauna. Lunch on board, based on local products, adds an authentic and convivial touch, making the excursion complete and memorable.

An unforgettable day - Together with a group of friends we wanted to spend a day on a boat with Dolci Escursioni. We went around Ortigia (beautiful island) and we could appreciate the caves that are along the north coast .We then ate typical local products with greetings and delicious cheeses. All accompanied by a great vino.E was an unforgettable day and my friends promised to return to do the same experience as soon as possible. A round of applause to the helmsman who in addition to knowing how to carry the boat has explained many things about the caves.Thanks Sweet Excursions.A presto
