About the Activity
What to Expect
Join us and discover the beautiful coast of Catania with our boat trip from Aci Trezza to the Cyclopean Islands and to Ulysses Caves. We will depart from the marina of Aci Trezza and, from there, we will navigate towards the Island of Lachea, the biggest island of the Archipelago. This island is famous for its unique flora and fauna, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts. As we continue, you will be able to see the Faraglioni, which are impressive rock formations emerging from the sea, offering a dramatic backdrop for photos.
During our trip, we will pass by the Norman Castle in Aci Castello, a historical fortress that stands majestically on a rocky outcrop, providing a glimpse into the area's rich history. The next highlight is the Ulysses Caves, a fascinating cave that is steeped in mythology and offers a mysterious ambiance. We will also make a swim stop during our trip to refresh in the crystal-clear waters.
Throughout the trip, our local skipper will guide you and share interesting stories and anecdotes about these beautiful places. This offer is ideal for families, couples, and groups of friends looking to explore the stunning coastline of Catania.

We dont recommend. No guidance at all. No stop for snorkling or swimming. Coast was also boring compared to Taormina. Boat itself was good tho.
