RIB Boat Trip to Portopalo di Capo Passero and Marzamemi with Snorkeling

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a RIB boat trip from Avola to Portopalo di Capopassero and Marzamemi, with snorkeling and swimming stops. Departing from Avola, we will cruise past the picturesque Lido di Noto before arriving at the beautiful Vendicari Nature Reserve. Here, you can enjoy the stunning coastal views and learn about the local flora and fauna. We will then stop for a refreshing swim near the pristine beaches of Eloro, Marianelli, and Calamosche, where our crew will share intriguing stories about the historic tonnara, an ancient tuna fishing tradition.

As we continue, we will move on to Marzamemi, where you will marvel at the underwater museum featuring three Roman-era columns lying on the seabed, about seven metres deep. We will provide everyone with fins and masks for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. Our next destination is Portopalo di Capopassero, where you can admire the imposing Tafuri Castle, the ancient Spanish Fortress, and the historic Tonnara. Here, we will stop for another swim, giving you the chance to soak in the beauty of the surroundings. During this break, our staff will serve you a traditional Sicilian apéritif, a perfect way to savour the local flavours.

After enjoying the apéritif, we will head back to Marzamemi for a visit to the charming Borgo, with its quaint streets and vibrant atmosphere. Finally, we will make our way back to Avola, concluding our delightful boat trip.
