Itinerary
Taking off from the port of Tropea, you will see the town and the beautiful beaches “Rotonda” and “Marina dell’ Isola” from its coast line. Take a peek at the unique views into the “Palombaro” Cave which can only be seen from the water.
You will drive bye Skeleton cave, also known as white cave.
At Riaci Bay you pass through a submerged port called Hercules harbor. You have a chance to jump in the water and dive through the white cave if the tide is not too high.
Next you will pass by the rocks of "Formiche" and see an important port of the Roman Empire: Forum Erculis.
You will arrive at Grotticelle Bay close to Capo Vaticano. The famous “Bay of Caves” will amaze you with its white sandy seabed where you have the chance to swim and snorkel along lots of fish. After the swim an aperitif and some snacks will be served.
On the way back to the port of Tropea, you will take the most beautiful photo of Tropea as seen from the sea, and if there is time you may swim in front of the Palombo Cave and the Rotonda beaches.

Found casually at the entrance of the marina had given me an information sheet indicating prices and saying to book via whatsapp. At the time of departure, the next day, he wanted to charge us a higher price and complained that we wanted to pay with the ATM. But that's okay. First part of the route more or less like the other boats, even if it slips between the others and starts at full speed. At first, the fish are also seen because they throw bread... On the way back, after the aperitif nothing fancy, music is played at full volume, disco stuff from thirty years ago that could also be heard from the top of Stromboli and continuous jets of smoke are sprayed. A nightmare. Not background music, but something you couldn't talk about and enjoy the view. The fish also escaped. It's amazing that something like this is allowed at sea. Annoying even when it passes and you are on the beach. Of course, then, all tastes are tastes. However, they should not disturb the next, animal or person, and specify very well when booking what you are facing.
The most amazing experience! Captain Paolo took great care of us and the staff was very helpful and attentive!! Very fun excursion and delicious aperitif. Would definitely do it again!
Friendly and helpful staff, during the excursion they explained everything we saw! All wonderful advice! Beautiful also the aperitif sunset view
Good views and excellent snorkelling but very much a party boat. Very loud music, generous ‘aperitifs’ and much attention to ensuring the boat was noticed by people on the shore. Ok but not what we expected.
Nice people, good aperitif, nice music, explanation and history of the various caves and beaches very well made places and wonderful water. A compliment and a thank you to all the staff of Captain Paolo
That day the sea was big and it was not the right day to carry out the activity.But Captain Paolo wanted to go out anyway maybe not to give us a refund of the same .It 'was a bad experience because he despite realizing he kept going despite us on the boat we were all scared 😟 When he finally convinced himself that the sea is not the best day he stopped on the opposite side of the port and made us get off to take a swim and to consume the aperitif.Moral of the story the refund nn we did not have and the tour nn we did; in addition we were scared to die very high waves arrived on the boat 🛶 a real fool
Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent aperitif staff and music accompanied us to discover these wonderful places grazieeee 💕
We had a great time, beautiful tour with bath breaks in really nice spots. Aperitif and music on the way back. The captain and the very nice guys. Recommended excursion
Very easy to book also via whatsapp, boat in order and excellent to admire the sea and the panorama in navigation. The crew is helpful, friendly and prepared, all the information of the sites visited is provided, you make three stops to swim or snorkel, the most beautiful in our opinion is at Capo Vaticano, which is the last. Before leaving, a buffet aperitif is offered with simple but good things, in addition to the inevitable prosecco and various drinks. In all three hours of excursion, in which you can admire in all its beauty the Coast of the Gods!
Very welcoming. Stunning views and generous aperitif and drinks. We had a beautiful day to tour along the Tropea coastline even if it was late in the season. The sea was crystal clear and we stopped 3 times to swim and snorkel. The food was plentiful if simple and the drinks were distributed generously. The captain and his colleagues were very friendly and although their English was limited, we still managed to communicate enough to get the gist of what was being said. Only two draw backs: no working toilet and the snorkelling gear wasn’t the best. But those were small blips on otherwise good value and lovely excursion.
