Highlights
- Isola Bella - La baia racchiusa tra Capo Taormina e Capo Sant’Andrea con incastonata al centro, come una perla preziosa, non a caso viene chiamata “La Perla del Mediterraneo” Ricoperto di macchia mediterranea ed essenze esotiche, l’incantevole isolotto è un rigoglioso giardino botanico. Riparata dai due promontori, la spiaggia è di ghiaia e ciottoli. Potete scegliere se sistemarvi comodamente in uno dei lidi attrezzati con ombrelloni e lettini oppure nel tratto di spiaggia libera. Il punto migliore e più tranquillo è la spiaggetta alla base dell’Isola Bella ,dove per un gioco di luci le acque assumono stupefacenti colorazioni cangianti. Per il resto, invece, sono limpide e incredibilmente trasparenti, poco profonde e disseminate di scogli, ideali quindi per nuotare e fare snorkeling tra alghe e pesci di scogliera.

- Selection of carbonated drinks
- Comfortable boat with sun deck, shaded area, fridge, music, and ladder

Nice quick boat ride to see Taormina from the water - Not ride started directly from the beach about 10 min from downtown Taormina by Taxi. Taxi driver knew the location. There is a nice bar restaurant on the beach at the boat pickup location and we had a quick drink before boarding. We did drive buy visits to some of the hotels and sites along the coast and did a short swim or snorkel depending on preference. They served some snacks and beer or wine or soft drinks at the stop. Then we returned to the beach from which we started. Lasted 2 hours which was enough given the limited things to see.

Excellent boat trip - Very nice boat trip along the beautiful Taormina coast. We happened to be the only passengers, so we unexpectedly had a private tour. Highly recommended!

Good experience but it can be improved - Excellent places visited, ok bathroom, ok aperitif with prosecco, coke, chips. I would eliminate the last useless 20 minutes spent navigating nowhere towards Letojanni, rather a 2nd stop in Isola Bella or Mazzarò would be better... High value for money...

Frustratingly boring experience. - The boat and the young guys operating were great and so we expected to have a fun time. However the 1.5 hrs became increasingly tedious as we moved a couple hundred metres at a time along the bays to look up close at unremarkable rocks and ‘caves’. And listen politely to the description. There was only 1 opportunity to swim for 15 mins at the beginning of the trip. So for the rest we were all captive hot and bored. A real shame I hope they think to improve the experience with more swimming spots and less explanation of the history of a rock.. especially when they can see that no one on the boat is interested.

Poor planning - Unfortunately did my friends and I not get a to experience the boat trip. Apparently even if we had booked for 10 am no boat showed up and when I got in contacted with the guides they informed me that they were fully booked for 10 am. It would have been nice to have gotten some form of information before hand. And I do not understand how we were able to book if it was fully booked, however they will fully refund me.
