Itinerary

Pass by

SPISONE BAY Large boulders that emerge here and there in the sea are the distinctive feature of Spisone beach, north of Taormina. Being close to the motorway exit, it is easily accessible. Spisone beach is located in the bay of Taormina, populated by many beaches but also by some stretches of free beach. The stone islets that emerge from the waters are very suggestive. The sand is pebbles and the seabed is varied.

Admission included60 min

BAY OF MERMAIDS The Baia delle Sirene is one of the best seaside resorts in Taormina. Not very visible from the outside because it is sheltered by a small promontory, it is not very crowded. The bay is very similar to a natural harbor where local fishermen shelter. Inside it is characterized by a very shallow and therefore very visible seabed, it recreates the perfect habitat for many marine species in particular the posidonia a marine plant rich in important properties for the ecosystem of our sea. The stone islets that emerge from the emerald waters are very suggestive, an ideal place for snorkelling enthusiasts.

60 min

BAY OF MAZZARO' In just 10 minutes from Taormina you can visit the Mazzarò beach, located in an enchanting inlet where nature dominates the landscape and the sea shines with turquoise and emerald reflections. It has always been the favorite of the people of Taormina, ever since Mazzarò was a tiny fishing village. Practically at the arrival of the cable car, Taormina's beaches are considered the most elegant, overlooked by some of the most luxurious hotels in the area. But even if you are not staying in one of these resorts, do not miss the opportunity to take a dip in the clear blue water of this marvelous bay framed by the wild green promontories of Capo Sant'Andrea and Capo Mazzarò, where caves open and marine ravines that you can explore with mask and fins. As in the nearby Isola Bella, here too the beach is made of gravel and pebbles and you will find both bathing establishments and free areas.

Admission included60 min

BEAUTIFUL ISLAND The bay enclosed between Capo Taormina and Capo Sant'Andrea with a precious pearl set in the center, is not by chance called "The Pearl of the Mediterranean" Covered with Mediterranean scrub and exotic essences, the enchanting islet is a luxuriant botanical garden. Sheltered by the two promontories, the beach is made of gravel and pebbles. You can choose whether to settle comfortably in one of the beaches equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds or on the stretch of free beach. The best and most peaceful point is the small beach at the base of Isola Bella, where the waters take on amazing iridescent colors due to a play of light. For the rest, however, they are clear and incredibly transparent, shallow and scattered with rocks, therefore ideal for swimming and snorkelling among seaweed and reef fish

60 min

BAY OF VILLAGONIA One of the most comfortable beaches to reach from the city center. The beach of Villagonia is a real natural gulf, made up of rock and sand, located at the foot of Taormina, very close to the Taormina-Giardini railway station. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily, due to its white sand and transparent sea, frequented by locals and tourists from all over the world.

Great time with Davide on his boat.

We had a wonderful time with Davide. He took us all around the coast of Taormina and made us feel at home in his boat. We had plenty of time to swim and enjoy ourselves.

Perfect Day on the Water with Claudio!

We had the most incredible boat day in Taormina with Claudio, and we can’t recommend him enough! From start to finish, he made the day absolutely perfect. Claudio was helpful, funny, and clearly loves what he does. He took us all around the island, showing us the best spots, and gave us plenty of time to swim and just relax in the beautiful water. The whole day felt easy and fun, no rushing, just good vibes. He also took great care of us with snacks and drinks, sandwiches, Prosecco, white wine, soda, and water, so we never wanted for anything. His humor and warmth made the whole experience even better. We had the best day and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a boat tour in Taormina, book with Claudio, 1000% recommend!

Great Tour for Couples/Small Groups!

Andrea was an amazing guide. He picked us up right from the dock of our hotel (Atlantis Bay) and gave an amazing tour of the various Bays and Caves around Taormina. He made a us a delicious lunch and served us beer as well as prosecco. We got time for two longer (30 min - hour) snorkel swims and saw a lot of fish. I highly recommend this tour.

Fun afternoon on the water

The pick up was a little choppy as the sea was rough and it was boiling. There was no shade to wait which was intense. When the boat turned up the skipper was humorous and friendly. The sea didn’t really calm down until we got to the next cove. We all really enjoyed it and would book again.

Awesome day at sea.

The day started off great after being picked up right at the dock of our hotel, Atlantis Bay. This was the smaller of their two boats and was a perfect size for a couple. Our captain Andrea was a very friendly young man who was great to talk to but also knew to fade into the background when it was time for us to relax as a couple. He took us to numerous caves and coves with ample opportunities to swim, snorkel or just lounge. The boat comes with soft drinks, water, wine and prosecco. It also came with a snack of focaccia bread which was delivered while we were stopped by another boat. We are pretty sure that Andrew called and had our food made to order because he asked us what some of our favorite foods that we'd had in Sicily so far were, to which we said tune and eggplant, and sure enough we got two types of focaccia, one with tune and one with eggplant. Very nice touch. This was an absolutely great time out on the water at a very reasonable price. We would highly recommend booking this trip.
