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.

Beautiful boat trip. Both the dock staff and the captain were kind and helpful. It lasted over two hours, and we worked hard to spot dolphins. We saw several dolphins, some very close. Afterwards, we sailed past the Ulysses Caves, the Norman Castle, and the Cyclops Islands. We stopped for a quick swim, then headed back to the port. Everything was perfect.

We were a grup of 5 people. Our guide Lucrezia drove the boat and explained everything very well. She was very kind and we recommend the trip with all of our hearts. We were the only people on the boat and that’s one of the reasons why she let us swim in 40m deep water. The price in my opinion was fair because she shown and told us a lot of interesting information, such as the Cyclopean Islands, Normanno Castle and Ulysses caves. I appreciated that she is an eco-friendly person like us and we all colaborated in taking a plastic bottle out of the water. She also offered to take us beautiful pictures with amazing sceneries and was very open to everything we asked her. Thank you very much! Lucrezia! Grazie mille!
