Itinerary
Discover the legendary Caves of Ulysses, carved into a stunning lava cliff that rises dramatically above the sea. As we sail along the coast, you’ll admire the vibrant colors of the seabed—shifting from deep blue to turquoise to emerald green. The tour continues beneath the medieval castle of Aci Castello, offering a breathtaking view of this historic fortress from the sea. Don't miss the fascinating "pillow lavas"—rounded volcanic formations visible beneath the castle, created by the rapid cooling of underwater lava eruptions.
We'll make a stop in Aci Trezza, right in the heart of the marine protected area. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel and explore the rich underwater ecosystem, using equipment provided by us. During the journey, there will be time for a refreshing swim. Back onboard you'll also enjoy a delicious aperitif featuring local specialties: marinated vegetables, fresh bread, cured meats, cheeses, and seasonal fruit — all paired with a glass of quality local white wine.
