Beautiful hike!! - A two-and-a-half hour boat trip around Ortigia is an unforgettable experience. The navigation takes you among breathtaking views, passing through the sea caves with spectacular light effects. Continuing towards the Plemmirio nature reserve, the crystal clear water and unspoilt nature create a unique atmosphere. With any luck you can spot dolphins, while on board cool drinks are offered to cool off. There is also the possibility to take a regenerating bath in quiet coves: a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

Just fantastic - ​An excursion that I will always carry in my heart. The tour around the island of Ortigia is already wonderful, but the encounter with the dolphins in their natural habitat was a truly exciting and unique moment. Strong points: Spectacular sightings, environmentally friendly skipper and breathtaking panorama. Experience: Impeccable organization and a bit of luck that made everything unforgettable. Highly recommended to those who want to experience an authentic emotion at sea!
