Dolphins! - The most amazing trip, we didn't expect to see any dolphins but ended up seeing loads! The team were so friendly and helpful and really trying to make sure we all had the best time. The music and atmosphere was great and appreciated the prosecco and snacks! Would definitely recommend!

Show - Spectacular superior quality/price, we found the captain to be friendly, excellent prosecco, music, arancini, almond paste... but above all about twenty dolphins that we could almost touch at sunset and the splendid Taormina with Etna behind us... great captain Gianluca

Best Boat Tour! - The crew was very friendly & welcoming and lots of fun! The weather was cold and rainy to start but boating conditions were still safe so our tour went on as scheduled. Turned out to be such a great time with a small group of 8 guests, amazing views, fun music, Prosecco, arancini & lots of dolphins put on a great show for us, And, the sun came out! Highly recommend this tour to add wonderful memories to your trip! If we had that much fun on a cold day, I can only imagine how even more amazing it would be on a warm sunny day!

Beautiful cruise! - Incredible adventure! A beautiful boat took us on a cruise, along with good wine, arancini and a lovely crew. We managed to find dolphins. It is beautiful to see these animals in their natural habitat.

Amazing experience - Absolutely amazing, both the excursion and the crew. The crew made sure that everyone on board had a blast, especially my 7 year old. Honestly, I would book this again.

One of my favourite boat trips ever!! - This was one of my favourite boat trips ever! The Kristal is a lovely boat and her driver is so skilful, the way he manoeuvred her in and out of the narrow caves was impressive. He gave us delicious arancini and a couple of glasses of Prosecco. It was such a beautiful evening watching the sun set over mount Etna and we did get a glimpse of a Dolphin, apparently his name is Giuseppe!😂

Nice boat trip from Taormina - We were not lucky with the dolphins, but the boat trip was still nice and we stopped in a harbour to have some nice Arancini and Prosecco. The captain is nice and let you drive the boat ;)
