We had a really great time, the boat owner explained every single thing about the Zingaro reserve to us, he was very nice and kind, an excellent aperitif with pane cunzato, tomatoes grown in his garden, anchovies caught by him, oil produced by him, everything was truly good.
A truly beautiful experience, absolutely to be repeated! 🌊☀️ Maurizio and Giuseppe were fantastic: super skilled, kind, and always available. On board they provide masks, fins, and snorkels for swimming, perfect for enjoying the stops to the fullest. They took us to wonderful places, with crystal-clear and very warm waters, so clear and calm that it felt like being in a swimming pool. The Zingaro Nature Reserve is simply stunning! 😍 We took the afternoon tour and really enjoyed the aperitif on board as well, it was truly very welcome. 🍹 And to top it all off, we were lucky enough to see dolphins too: it was a magnificent and truly exciting moment! 🐬❤️ A complete, relaxing, and super fun experience. Absolutely worth doing again and highly recommended! ✨
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do it without thinking twice! The excursion to the Zingaro Reserve with Maurizio was undoubtedly the most beautiful experience of our vacation in Sicily. From the very first moment, Maurizio proved to be a kind, helpful, professional person and, above all, capable of conveying all the passion he has for this wonderful territory. It was not simply an excursion, but a day spent discovering spectacular corners, wonderful coves, and a sea with incredible colors, accompanied by someone who really knows how to make their guests feel at ease. Maurizio manages to create a pleasant and familiar atmosphere immediately: he is attentive to everyone's needs, never intrusive, always smiling and ready to share interesting facts and details about the places visited. It is clearly evident that for him this work is not just a job, but a true passion. The Zingaro Reserve is a paradise in itself, but experiencing it this way made everything even more special. We were able to enjoy the sea, the view, and every moment of the day without a care, taking home memories that we will not easily forget. It is precisely people like Maurizio who make the difference during a vacation: those who, besides showing you a beautiful place, also manage to leave you with a wonderful human memory. We recommend this experience 100% to anyone coming to this part of Sicily. Trust Maurizio and you will not regret it! Thank you so much Maurizio for the wonderful day, for your availability, your friendliness, and for letting us experience the Zingaro Reserve in the best possible way. When we return to Sicily, it will certainly be a pleasure to meet you again!
Wonderful experience! Everything was impeccable
Wonderful experience, the staff was very friendly and well-prepared, the aperitif on board was very welcome. Must do again absolutely SUPER RECOMMENDED fun guaranteed
Super comfortable boat, helpful, attentive crew, and full of tips. The sea is warm and clear, and the morning shift allows you to avoid the overcrowding. The snack was excellent. Highly recommended.
An unforgettable day! Maurizio and Giuseppe are two wonderful and helpful people. The experience was beautiful and full of wonderful places to see. Crystal clear and warm water, it felt like being in a swimming pool with fish swimming next to you. They have everything: masks with snorkels, fins, life jackets, etc. They don't let you go without anything. To top it off, they offer an excellent aperitif with the classic Sicilian \"pane cunzato,\" but watch out, with Maurizio's own local products, a delicacy. But the most beautiful thing was their humanity; even though my mother was in a wheelchair, they always helped her and made sure she had fun. What can I say, highly recommended.
Beautiful tour, especially the spots where he stopped for swimming.
Maurizio top captain , spectacular experience...........................,..........................
