Our journey takes us past the remarkable area of Ognina, known for its 1693 lava flow, creating a unique landscape that is both historical and striking.
As we continue, we reach the captivating Grotte di Ulisse, where you'll hear tales of legends that echo through time. Moving along, the imposing Aci Castello comes into view, with its majestic Byzantine castle perched on a rock that juts proudly into the sea.

Professional crew who do their job with passion, making a boat trip special and unique. Michele and Manuel were truly special. Highly recommended tour ❤️
Michel and Emmanuel were fantastic from the moment we arrived until we left! They are very welcoming, kind, and go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time. We were in a small group (9 people), which was perfect for enjoying some intimate moments while also meeting new people. We loved the activity from beginning to end; everything was perfect, and we were even lucky enough to see dolphins. Our best activity in Catania! Go for it without hesitation!
The activity was great. The instructors were very pleasant and attentive, making the experience very interesting with their explanations of the local mythology. We were also pleasantly surprised by the appetizers, which were plentiful and featured high-quality ingredients, both food and drink. Highly recommended!
