Taking off from the port of Tropea, you will see the town and the beautiful beaches “Rotonda” and “Marina dell’ Isola” from its coast line. Take a peek at the unique views into the “Palombaro” Cave which can only be seen from the water.
You will drive bye Skeleton cave, also known as white cave.
At Riaci Bay you pass through a submerged port called Hercules harbor. You have a chance to jump in the water and dive through the white cave if the tide is not too high.
Next you will pass by the rocks of "Formiche" and see an important port of the Roman Empire: Forum Erculis.
You will arrive at Grotticelle Bay close to Capo Vaticano. The famous “Bay of Caves” will amaze you with its white sandy seabed where you have the chance to swim and snorkel along lots of fish. After the swim an aperitif and some snacks will be served.
On the way back to the port of Tropea, you will take the most beautiful photo of Tropea as seen from the sea, and if there is time you may swim in front of the Palombo Cave and the Rotonda beaches.

An experience to say the least magnificent, very nice staff, (especially Francesco who made us laugh like crazy!💗) we were also given a not-bad aperitif, magnificent places, and Captain Paolo is super!!! Thank you so much for these beautiful hours spent together!!!
fantastic experience, we had so much fun... Captain Paolo and Francesco made us have a lot of fun, aperitif, music, 3 swimming stops in the splendid water of the Coast of the Gods. I recommend it
I highly recommend this boat trip!!! We were with family and friends, 6 adults and three children aged 2, 4, and 5. Magnificent landscapes, super friendly team on board!!!! They provide you with masks, life jackets, and inflatable mattresses, there are a lot of fish which really amuses the children, good music on board, we sang and danced. Three stops to swim, the Children were in the water as well. Nice aperitif. There aren't a huge number of people on board, which makes the experience more friendly. They explain the history of the beaches we pass, super interesting, in the distance we saw Stromboli and Sicily ❤️ We had a great time!!! Very beautiful memories and splendid photos!!!! Top-notch crew!!!! Thank you very much
Awesome trip, nothing to complain about, would definitely go again! Kids loved it, crystal clear water with beautiful fish
Found casually at the entrance of the marina had given me an information sheet indicating prices and saying to book via whatsapp. At the time of departure, the next day, he wanted to charge us a higher price and complained that we wanted to pay with the ATM. But that's okay. First part of the route more or less like the other boats, even if it slips between the others and starts at full speed. At first, the fish are also seen because they throw bread... On the way back, after the aperitif nothing fancy, music is played at full volume, disco stuff from thirty years ago that could also be heard from the top of Stromboli and continuous jets of smoke are sprayed. A nightmare. Not background music, but something you couldn't talk about and enjoy the view. The fish also escaped. It's amazing that something like this is allowed at sea. Annoying even when it passes and you are on the beach. Of course, then, all tastes are tastes. However, they should not disturb the next, animal or person, and specify very well when booking what you are facing.
The most amazing experience! Captain Paolo took great care of us and the staff was very helpful and attentive!! Very fun excursion and delicious aperitif. Would definitely do it again!
Friendly and helpful staff, during the excursion they explained everything we saw! All wonderful advice! Beautiful also the aperitif sunset view
Good views and excellent snorkelling but very much a party boat. Very loud music, generous ‘aperitifs’ and much attention to ensuring the boat was noticed by people on the shore. Ok but not what we expected.
Nice people, good aperitif, nice music, explanation and history of the various caves and beaches very well made places and wonderful water. A compliment and a thank you to all the staff of Captain Paolo
That day the sea was big and it was not the right day to carry out the activity.But Captain Paolo wanted to go out anyway maybe not to give us a refund of the same .It 'was a bad experience because he despite realizing he kept going despite us on the boat we were all scared 😟 When he finally convinced himself that the sea is not the best day he stopped on the opposite side of the port and made us get off to take a swim and to consume the aperitif.Moral of the story the refund nn we did not have and the tour nn we did; in addition we were scared to die very high waves arrived on the boat 🛶 a real fool
