Dolphin spotting in their habitat at sunset
Delicious apéritif with sicilian savoury snacks and prosecco wine
Nature, animal, and sea lovers cannot miss our sunset boat trip from Giardini Naxos along the Taormina coastline with dolphin watching! Not only will you admire the enchanting coves and beaches of this stretch of coastline, but you will also have the opportunity to go out into the open sea in search of one of the world's most intelligent mammals. Together with us, you will learn many interesting facts about the biodiversity of this part of Sicily. You will board our comfortable boat at the port of Giardini Naxos, and begin our adventure by showing you the expanse of golden sand of the Bay of Naxos. We will then continue navigating towards the Cape Taormina, where you will observe the Scoglio del Fico d'India and the Grotta dell'Amore. Once we reach Isola Bella, with its breathtaking cliffs contrasting with the crystal-clear water, we will go out to sea in search of schools of dolphins. It will be very exciting to see them jumping and playing near you, as they are very curious and often come close to the boat. After you have taken many incredible photos, we will serve you a delicious apéritif of prosecco and silician snacks, which you will enjoy during the slow navigating back to the port of departure.
