Ortigia by boat

Siracusa and the island of Ortigia are just as wonderful to see from a boat. The best part though was swimming. Also very interesting was going into the caves with the boat. I highly recommend this tour.

Great experience. Boat...

Great experience. Nice boat. Friendly guide. Emerald water, bathing in the sea. It's very worth it.

Best tour of Ortiggia island

I loved our tour because Ninni was engaging, funny, and informative. The boat was exciting and fun to be in. Plus, we got to swim.

Super service!

We planned this trip. But 2 hours before sailing we received a message via phone and app that the trip could not continue due to too much wind. Good communication. Sailing would involve risks. We then cancelled the trip for this reason. Our money was back in our account within days. Super service!

Very informative tour, with beautiful views.

Very nice and interesting tour. Nunzio was a very good skipper who provided us with interesting facts and stories. The previous boat trip was cancelled due to unsettled seas, so we could repeat the tour two days later. Very uncomplicated we could just book a new tour and this was super nice. Nunzio responded to our (bath) wishes, but always had an eye on our safety. Thank you for the great time.

Highly recommended....

Unique experience, admiring the Syracuse coast is truly exciting and even more so with the detailed explanation from the staff on the boat. I recommend it to everyone especially for its friendliness and education. I hope to be able to return as soon as possible, I would choose it a thousand more times. Highly recommended 5 stars.
