Wonderful experience, super recommended!!! - I came back for the second time and we were super happy. I am a very friendly, responsible and punctual team. Captain Pietro, very prepared, involved us and told some interesting things about the place. We visited wonderful places and integrated as a group of friends. It was a decidedly precious and relaxing experience. Without crowding! I hope to return this summer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

FROM 1 TO 5 STARS IN AN INSTANT! - A terrible day! 1 hour before departure (by now we had reached Scilla) we were informed that due to adverse weather we could not leave! We were invited to show up at the port anyway to evaluate together with the skipper whether we could take an alternative tour towards the Strait of Messina, where the waters appeared calmer, (unlike me who was quite upset due to the change of plans!), at the port we find the skipper Pietro, who tells us that even the crossing towards the strait would have been dangerous ... but that for an hour we would have been his guests on board and he takes us for a swim not far from the port in front of the spectacular village of Chianalea . Once back on the boat he offers us a spritz! Enchanted by Pietro's availability and the breathtaking view, we are about to reach the port, we offer a tip to the skipper even just to repay the fuel since he didn't ask anything about the trip and proceeded to reimburse the deposit paid, but there is no there was no verse he didn't want to accept! What can I say, once again I bow before such beauty that the area offers and the noble soul of the Calabrians!

Fantastic - Wonderful experience! Our super friendly and helpful skipper told us many curiosities about each area visited. The two swimming stops were sublime, crystal clear water. Recommended for the organization that allows you to create groups with a few people, excellent for sharing 3 pleasant hours in peace!

Unique experience! - Super recommended experience, in truly magical places, accessible only by sea. The skipper Pietro was really prepared and approachable. Particularly appreciated is the fact that the tour is limited in number, so as to allow you to fully enjoy the experience. Vote 10!

A wonderful experience - Fantastic experience. 3 hours of relaxation and fun. The places visited were beautiful. The skipper Giuseppe was friendly, polite, very knowledgeable but, above all, part of our group. Definitely worth doing again, perhaps choosing another tour (given the wide choice offered) but...... ONLY IF GIUSEPPEEEEE ACCOMPANYES US.

A dream experience, it allows you to see ancestral places from a magnificent perspective such as the sea. You don't forget - Having returned to Calabria after a holiday in Croatia we had the opportunity to discover the tour through an advertising poster. You never know how these things will go until you experience them. I contacted them and saw that they already had WhatsApp, a good indication of being updated with new technologies. The tour cannot be described in words, it was magnificent, unique, soul-repairing. I was afraid of the rocking of the boat but I didn't suffer much, also thanks to the swimming from the boat that we were able to do during the stops. Now we discover Calabria more by being in the North than by having lived there, having different opportunities. All credit goes to them for making it possible. Visited Chianalea, Favazzina and the Bagnara caves. Criru nta me head ca a similar thing drives you thoughts and a gray from life, peaks in nature I can survive without us, you are already perfect as you are, and these two make me the patrons I love to be gardeners, help me to know how to care for them beauties that u Signuruzzu then rendered.
