Tropea Tours, Boat Trips & Things to Do
Wondering what to do in Tropea? Almost everything happens on the water. Boat tours along the Costa degli Dei to Capo Vaticano — grottoes, swimming stops and an aperitif on deck — cost €31–€53 in a small group, €330–€650 to have the boat to yourself. Snorkelling trips to the sea caves run €35–€50, sunset cruises €40, and parasailing above the bay €140. After dark, the Stromboli-by-night excursions sail out to watch the volcano throw sparks into the sea for around €65, with full Aeolian island days at €69–€120. On land the town takes an hour to walk and a day to enjoy: the cliff-top centre, the stairway to Santa Maria dell'Isola, a cooking class with a Calabrian nonna (€109), wine and 'nduja tastings, and the tartufo gelato in Pizzo half an hour north. Three days is about right. Compare every Tropea boat trip and tour below by rating and price.
