Details
If you want to spend a day immersed in the nature of Elba, take a boat trip from Marina di Campo to the Capolivieri Mines! On board our spacious motorboat, you will be able to reach the most hidden corners of the area and enjoy 4 stops of half an hour each for swimming and snorkeling.
You will discover the best that the southeast coast of the island has to offer, starting with Cala del Fico, a true paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. Continuing our navigation, we will come across the beautiful Acquarilli and Felciaio beaches, as well as Peducelli, Pareti and Stecchi. Navigating a little further, we arrive at the enchanting Innamorata beach, where a stop for a swim is a must! But the infinite beauty of this area doesn't stop here, as we continue on to the majestic Grotta del Bue Marino with its small beach that can be reached by swimming.
The sweet wild goats of the Grotta delle Capre are the next attraction of the trip as we reach the amazing Capoliveri Mines. This ancient and fascinating place features the underground Juniper Mine, which is the only magnetite deposit in all of Europe, as well as the now abandoned Punta Calamita Mine. The presence of minerals in this area gives the beaches of Cannello and Punta Bianca incredible colours. Surrounded by the unique nature of this part of the island of Elba, we will return to the port of departure, and along the way, we will admire the dolphins that inhabit these Mediterranean waters of the Cetacean Sanctuary.

This was a Great Experience. We were looking for a dog friendly but also one with Small Children boat tour that would be fun for everyone. We Found it with the Baby Princess. Staff was so nice. The places for swimming were great and allowed our 3 year old as well as our 2 Australien shepherds to jump off an swim to the Beach. This was the Most fun boat tour we ever did as a Family. I would highly recommend.
