This boat tour along the bay of Naxos and Taormina offers a unique nature experience to discover the wonders of the Sicilian coastline.
Departing from Giardini Naxos Harbour, you will be accompanied by an experienced skipper (who speaks Italian and English) who will share interesting stories and fun facts about the places you visit.
As you sail, you will follow the bay’s coastline until you reach the stunning Grotta dell’Amore (Cave of Love), which is famous for its heart shape when viewed from a specific angle. The tour then continues to Capo Taormina and the Cave of the Mermaids, before reaching the stunning Isola Bella, an iconic islet connected to the mainland by a thin strip of sand that is visible at low tide.
Next, you will visit the famous Blue Grotto, known for its spectacular light effects that illuminate the water with intense blue reflections, offering a breathtaking view of the seabed. The route continues to the Coral Grotto and Elephant Rock, known for its unique shape.
Finally, there will be a stop of approximately 20–30 minutes in the bay of Isola Bella or Mazzarò, during which you can swim in the crystal-clear waters and relax while enjoying a light aperitif of Prosecco and/or almond wine, accompanied by almond pastries and savoury snacks.
