Itinerary
Disembarked from the ship we will wait for you at the cruise terminal, at the exit of gate 5 of the port of Messina where I will be there waiting for you with a sign with your name and surname. From here we will start our journey to Isola Bella and Taormina Bay where your boat tour will begin.
The boat tour begins in one of the most beautiful nature reserves ever seen in Sicily. It is a marine park with crystal clear waters that houses the famous Blue Grotto of Taormina. Isola Bella is home to a beautiful tropical / Mediterranean garden, a villa and a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the waters of the marine park. The tour also includes a visit to the Sant'Andrea cave, a visit to all four bays that go from Giardini Naxos to the Bay of Sirens, the Faraglione and capotaormina. It will be in the latter location that we will stop to swim and make a refreshment with prosecco, water and almond pastes.
Last stop of our tour will be Taormina. We will arrive at Piazza San Pancrazio, where travelers will make their rounds and can visit the characteristic alleys of Corso Umberto, admire the beautiful landscapes and go to the Greek-Roman theater of Taormina (the cost of the entrance ticket is excluded from the tour price).
After our tour we will return to the departure point at the cruise ship terminal.

Our family of 5 spent the day with Alessandro and Hana and they were amazing!!! Great communication to get to the pick up point and right on time!! Very organized tour of Taormina and the restaurant recommendation was amazing (and Hana was able to get the restaurant to open early just for us!!!) Then the boat was super fun with a lot of amazing history and great sights to see, with a wonderful family swim. Highly recommend Alessandro and Hana for your excursion!!!
Marissa and Alessandro were incredible! They treated us like family and took such care with every detail of our time together. Their special touches were thoughtful and above our expectations. I cannot give them high enough ratings!!!
The tour was a perfect blend of land and sea. Skillful driver, clean van. During our time on the boat we enjoyed breathtaking sights, time to swim and snorkel, and Prosecco with fruit platter. Our tour guide spoke excellent English and was both knowledgeable and helpful. She recommended a fantastic local restaurant.
Best tour that we’ve had during our cruise. Alessandro was really welcoming and funny, he assisted us in every step. Highly recommend!
From the start it was amazing. Alessandro was so good at communicating with us prior to our arrival in the port and so helpful in getting us back to our boat in time. Our guides were early and told us so much. We had Alessandro and Marissa and they were amazing! They told us fun facts all the way to the boat and once we were on the boat the fun continued. We saw so many caves and got to jump off the boat and it felt like a party. They were so helpful with taking photos of all of us. Our guides were dancing and singing with us and we got to do karaoke in the van on the way to town. Marissa was so helpful when exploring because she asked what we wanted to see and found a perfect spot for each of us. They also took us to see the clock tower and told so many facts about it. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience because it was one of the best days we had on our cruise!
Max (driver) and Hannah (tour guide) were both incredible from before the tour started. When I received my confirmation the day before I noticed, I had made a mistake in booking and Max was extremely accommodating in getting us booked for what we had wanted (the boat tour). He was very clear about the time and location of the pick up, which made finding him when getting off the cruise ship very easy and stress free. His van was spacious and extremely comfortable. He even had water for us. Hannah was very knowledgeable about every place we visited, made sure to take lots of family photos and was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend this tour! It was probably our favorite thing we did during our cruise.
We had the most amazing time on our boat and land tour of Taormina, Sicily! It was the perfect way to experience the beauty of the area — seeing the coastline from the water was absolutely breathtaking, and exploring Taormina on land was just as magical. A special thank you to our wonderful tour guides, Alessandro and Marisa, who made the experience even more memorable. Marisa was incredibly knowledgeable, shared so many interesting details about Sicily, and was especially wonderful with our daughter. Her kindness and patience made the tour so enjoyable for our whole family. They also arranged for a special birthday surprise for my 40th! Cake, Prosecco and fresh fruit! The views, the charm of Taormina, and the unforgettable scenery made this one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sicily!
Wonderful excursion. The staff was very attentive and professional.
This was by far the best tour of our entire 3 week trip. Alessandro communicated well, was on time and went above and beyond. Our boat trip was fabulous!
