Our boat trip to Ortigia and the sea caves is the perfect opportunity for an unforgettable experience. Explore the beauties of the landscape with us. A dip in the sea, a tasting of seasonal fruit, and a glass of Prosecco will make your experience sparkling!
The departure is from the small port of Syracuse, from where it is possible to reach the natural beauty of the fantastic Ortigia Island in just a few moments. The next stop will be in the coast of Syracuse, where we will go in the impressive caves carved out by the force of the sea that will welcome you in all their splendour, and you will have the opportunity to snorkel into the crystal-clear waters for about 30 minutes.

An experience not to be missed! Ortigia Island Excursion was truly professional from start to finish. Both the office staff and Enzo on the boat were excellent. Their English was impeccable. Thank you for making this a wonderful experience for both me and my daughter. The sparkling wine and fruit were a wonderful touch!

We loved the experience and the captain, Cayetano, was attentive the whole time to make sure we were okay. He didn't speak Spanish and he translated it for us using Google.
