The meet up location was confuing.Viator is just the booking platform it’s never clear who the actual provider is. So we were too late and missed our check in time. The kiosk attendant said to come back in one hour. He found us a spot on the next tour.,s Ninni, the skipper was entertaining and informed. He let us swim for a few minutes in the clear water before heading back. It was a circle around Ortigia as he pointed out several landmark. He also gave a locals recommendation for gelato and a good Sicilian restaurant. Except for the check in confusion, this wouu u is have been a 5 for value.

Lovely time on the water!
Such a fun time on the water! The expert boat captain took us into several of the caves, told us some history and even allowed a few adventurous soles to swim!

Diving among the caves
Tour passed with flying colors. Vincenzo is very nice, the views over the gulf are splendid, and entering the caves is absolutely worth it. Icing on the cake: spectacular dives into the clear waters around Ortigia. Must do again!

Quick cave tour and hop in swim
One hour is quick, but they got us out there. The morning light was great in the caves. Be ready to jump in for your swim. You should bring a towel and some plan for changing out of your swimsuit, since the tour begins at a kiosk and ends at the marina.

This was a very budget...
This was a very budget friendly tour and I’d say you get what you pay for! It was nice to see Ortigia from the water and going during sunset was pleasant. Our skipper spoke little, and AI audio was played at two stops along the tour. The caves were cool to see, though the stops were very brief. Seems like tours like this are a dime a dozen along the water by the bridge to Ortigia so could be booked once you get there

Un Ora in Ortigia
Checkin with Claudio at the meeting point. Gabriele, our guide, and Franco, our skipper, were attentive and friendly. Gabriele, despite only being employed a month had deep knowledge of the island and its history. He was also well-versed in Italian English and Spanish, making for easy conversation. The water was delightful warm 20°C, I wish we had a little bit more time to swim but the hour that we were out at sea was a great introduction to Ortigia.

Excellent tour
Excellent experience and great guide. We went at 6:00pm and saw the sun setting behind the city. Terrific views of the castle, waterfront and caves

The red corals and love cave
Nice boat tour! They explained in italian and had an english tape so that everyone can understand. It is a good activity for its cost!
