Boat trip along the Costa Viola and the Strait of Messina with Snorkeling

Prepare to depart from the Ruffo Castle in Scilla, a place full of history and charm, for a boat trip along the Costa Viola and the Strait of Messina with snorkeling. Our boat, ready to ply the waters, will provide you with a privileged view of one of Calabria's most evocative panoramas.


As we skirt the eastern reef, our first landmark will be the Torre Cavallo Pilone, the narrowest point in the Strait of Messina. Here, the closeness between Calabria and Sicily is palpable, and the history of these lands is intertwined with myth. The crossing of the Messina Strait, which takes about 15 minutes, is an experience that will leave you breathless, while the captain will tell you anecdotes and curiosities about this enchanted place.


Our adventure will continue to Torre Faro, where you will have the opportunity to take a relaxing break and enjoy the beauty of the beach for about an hour. Here, you can dive into the azure waters for a snorkelling session, exploring the richness of the underwater. After spending precious time amidst the waves and the stories of the place, the conclusion of our journey will see us return to our starting point, marking the end of an experience that has united two regions through the magic of the Strait of Messina.
