About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a boat trip from Catania to the Ulysses Caves aboard a prestigious sailing boat, with an apéritif included. Starting from the harbour of Catania, we will navigate along the coast in the direction of the caves. On the way, you will be able to spot Catania's volcanic shoreline with the Etna Gulf and the old sulfur chimneys. The Etna Gulf is renowned for its stunning views of Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe, while the sulphur chimneys are remnants of the region's volcanic activity.

Upon reaching the Ulysses Caves, we will stop for a refreshing swimming and snorkeling break. The caves are famous for their connection to Homer's Odyssey, where Ulysses is said to have encountered the Sirens. In this mythical setting, the crystal-clear waters and captivating marine life create a serene and enchanting atmosphere, inviting one to immerse themselves in its beauty.

During the trip, our crew will serve you a typical Sicilian apéritif to enjoy with the view and cheer to the day. Our crew will also share stories and curiosities about these mystical places, ensuring you make the most out of your stay in Catania. This tour promises a blend of natural beauty, historical intrigue, and relaxation, making it a memorable part of your visit to Sicily.

A beautiful experience, perfect for those seeking relaxation and tranquility. The welcoming and prepared staff pampered us from the first to the last moment. A panoramic tour that deserves to be watched and enjoyed. The boat was spacious and really comfortable, you can easily reach the bow and stay there to sunbathe. Really very beautiful
