“tutto organizzato benissimo...dal trasferimento alla crociera, all'aperitivo a bordo.. giornata splendida!”
Snorkel Sicily’s Cyclops coastline from Aci Castello, swim over volcanic lava formations, and learn from a marine biologist on a 3-hour boat tour.
“Very friendly staff, who told us about the history of Sicily. We went to one snorkeling spot and saw some lava caves from the boat. It was a fairly small group (about ten). The equipment was included and water and some fruit was available. Definitely recommend!”
Guided hike from Siracusa into Pantalica Nature Reserve, UNESCO necropolis, Byzantine cave dwellings, plus Valle dell’Anapo swimming stops.
“We enjoyed all of the trip and would like to have been able to give 4.5 star rating. Nice to be driven there and back and to have a knowledgeable guide. The nature reserve was beautiful and Federico shared so much interesting information about the history of the area and the caves and vegetation. He asked us at the beginning of the hike what we were most interested in doing so he could meet our expectations and then checked regularly to see that we were enjoying everything. Grazie, Federico for a great day!”
Private boat tour from Castellammare del Golfo to Scopello and Zingaro Nature Reserve, with snorkeling gear, fruit, and swimming coves.
“Interesting and relaxing activity. Good skipper. Too bad they forgot the snorkeling equipment so the excursion lost a lot.”
Guided walk in Sicily’s Vendicari Nature Reserve from Siracusa, birdwatching with gear, tuna history, and a swim break.
“This tour was absolutely fantastic thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide was excellent and showed us lots of amazing local wildlife. Incredible views of flamingos, caspian terns and so many beautiful insects. Could have stayed all day! I would hugely recommend for any nature enthusiast. Richard and Vicki”
Kayak through Sicily’s Stagnone Nature Reserve from Marsala, visiting Santa Maria, Isola Grande, Isola Schola, and San Pantaleo.
“Absolutely recommend Egadi Kayak, would book again without a doubt, Maurizio is a fantastic guide, also the snack he brought along, local delight!”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
