A Must Do Palermo Half Day Boat Tour!

My best friend and I had a great time. The hosts (Angela & Alberto) were awesome, as well as the guests on the boat with us. The boat was lovely and the swim spots were perfect. It was an excellent way to beat the heat also. It was such a joyous day, I would definitely recommend it.

Super time

It was a great boat trip. Kids (around 20 yo) had super fun on the float and with the motorized water scooter. Only glitch was he wanted to combine our morning trip with the later sunset cruise, with larger boat. We agreed, and the larger boat was much nicer for 7 people than the smaller one would have been, so it all worked out.

Excellent your!! Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing experience! The trip to **Mondello and the Queen’s Cave** was one of the highlights of our time in Sicily. The crew provided **exceptional service** from beginning to end—friendly, attentive, professional, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. We especially loved the **huge variety of water toys and activities** available, which made the stops even more fun and memorable. The beautiful scenery, crystal-clear water, Queen’s Cave, and the great atmosphere onboard made for a perfect day on the sea. Everything was well organized, and the crew truly went above and beyond. **Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Palermo! We would absolutely do it again!**

This excursion was simply sensational. The boss, her son, and the employee were very friendly and helpful. They gave us an unforgettable excursion. In the bays, we were allowed to swim, ride the water scooter, and snorkel. Dreamlike! The food was sensational. A 100% recommendation from us!!!! 2 adults, 2 children (10 and 11 years old)

boat trip with great snorkeling

We had a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The staff were funny, friendly, and genuinely interested in hearing about our culture, which made the trip feel even more personal. The food was good, but the highlight was definitely the snorkeling. They provided some interesting equipment to use in the water, which made the experience even more fun. The sea was beautiful—clear, calm, and an amazing shade of blue. The boat itself was nice and comfortable, and we also shared the trip with another family of four who were very friendly, which added to the positive atmosphere. Overall, it was a fun day on the water with great staff, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable snorkeling experience. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a relaxed and enjoyable boat trip.

A perfect boat tour!

Hands down one of the best experiences in Palermo! A half-day on the boat was the ideal length—just enough swimming without overdoing it. Super friendly and professional staff, delicious food, and the cannoli at the end was the cherry on top. Don't miss this one!
