Sailing Boat Trip to the Protected Marine Area of Cyclopean Islands with Lunch

About the Activity

What to Expect

Explore the protected marine area of Cyclopean Islands, on board of a elegant and spacious sailing boat with our boat trip, with lunch included. We will depart from Catania and navigate along the coast, encountering locations like the Gulf of Etna and the fascinating Ulysses Caves. These caves, formed under a lava cliff that overlooks the sea, will be our first swim stop where you can dive into crystal-clear waters.

Along the way, we will also have a view from the sea of the historic Norman Castle in Acicastello. Our journey then takes us to the remarkable Cyclopean Islands, a group of small rocky islets steeped in mythology and surrounded by vibrant marine life. Here, we will make another stop, allowing you to snorkel and explore the underwater world.

During the trip, our staff will delight you with a typical Sicilian lunch, including pasta, prosecco, and soft drinks. This boat trip is ideal for those who want to combine a relaxing day on the boat with sightseeing and delicious food.
