Details
Add a twist to your holiday in Sicily and come on board with us! Our boat trip in the Cyclops Islands Marine Protected Area will allow you to spend half a day at sea, enjoying nature and snorkeling in the best spots of the area.
We will meet at our office in Aci Castello and walk to the boat. As we start navigating along the coast, you can admire the beautiful panorama and relax while lulled by the waves. We will then stop for snorkeling in one or multiple spots, depending on the weather conditions and on the participants' wishes. Our snorkeling guide, who is a marine biologist, will help you find fish, shellfish, octopuses, starfish and sea urchins hidden in the incredible rock formations on the seabed. You will also have the chance to see columnar basalt and pillow lavas, which are spherical lobes of lava formed during eruptions.
As we continue with the navigation, you will also admire the Natural Reserve "La Timpa", established in 1999 to enable the conservation, protection and enhancement of the area, which boasts an enormous natural, geological and landscape heritage. At the end of the trip, while we head back to the port of Aci Castello, you will be able to recharge with some fresh fruit and soft drinks.
