Private RIB Boat Trip to Ortigia and Siracusa from Avola with Swimming Stops

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a private RIB boat trip with departure from Avola to the exploration of Ortigia and Siracusa with your friends and family. Soak in the beauty of those landscaoes as we coast along the entire northern part of the Gulf of Noto, where you will be mesmerised by the stunning white cliffs of Gallina. The beauty of these cliffs is a sight to behold, with their stark contrast against the azure waters. As we continue, you will have the chance to admire the crystal-clear waters of Fontane Bianche and Arenella, perfect for a refreshing dip or simply soaking in the serene surroundings.

Our next highlight is the Plemmirio Marine Park, one of the most pristine marine protected areas in Italy. Stretching 12 kilometers around the Maddalena Peninsula, this area is a haven for marine life and offers unparalleled views both above and below the water. After cooling off a little, we will start to enter the various caves: the Grotta dei Cappuccini, the Grotta del Corallo, and finally the majestic Grotta Grande. Each cave offers unique geological features and a sense of adventure as you explore their depths.

Once we arrive in Syracuse, you can take a tour of the island, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. The ancient ruins and bustling markets provide a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the region. To top off the day, enjoy a traditional Sicilian apéritif onboard, savouring the local flavours as we make our way back. This tour is ideal for families, couples, and solo travellers looking to experience the natural and cultural wonders of Sicily.
