Afternoon trip
Trip was so funny and I enjoy the sicilian coast. Btw, The elderly owner was really strange! He spoke only Italian and Sicilian, and I didn't understand a word! However, he kept staring at me while I was relaxing, it wasn't very pleasant! and he was dressed inappropriately!

INCREDIBLE
Everything was perfect. From the boat ride to the information provided, we were delighted. They were incredibly kind. You can go there with your eyes closed.

Total scam
The tour operator did not show up and did not react to phone calls nor whatsapp. It was a scam. Tripadvisor should not collaborate with these businesses.
Operator response
Strano che non ci siamo presentati, siamo sempre puntuali e disponibili anche su whatsapp. Saremo lieti di invitarla al nuovo tour che si svolge a Palermo

Booked months in advance and they cancelled the night before
We booked this trip months in advance and the night before we’re supposed to go they cancelled without warning or explanation.

Great!
Great swimming spots and even got to use goggles to see some fish! Would definitely recommend- it’s more of a boat/swimming experience rather than a tour but it’s what we wanted!

Very intimate, fun and panoramic
Highly recommended because with only 5 euros more than the 40-person hull that propose agencies here the maximum is 8/10 people. We were very lucky and we had a private tour since there were no other reservations: the beautiful Ciro and Luigi, really extremely friendly and friendly as well as in love with the sea and the adjacent lands, told us about the beauty of the coast in the sunset light. And nature did the rest of the magic...
