Ammirevole come questi ragazzi sanno reinventarsi....se venite non potete perdere la gita in barca,i giovani organizzano escursioni tutt'attorno all'isoletta e si passa anche sotto ai ponti! Giù la testa...spettaccolare per capirne meglio maestosità e storia. Si entra anche nelle grotte. Gentilissimi i ragazzi che danno la possibilita anche di fare il bagno..

The tour was lovely and fun but it cost us twice as much as it cost to just walk up to the tour. There were lots of options & booking through trip advisor was a big rip off

This 1 hour 10 minute boat trip was great. It was a small boat, which it needed to be to go under the old bridge and into the sea caves. We jumped off the boat for a dip in the sea on the way back, after sailing around the castle. The tour was provided by Dolce Excursions and we booked it through Sicilife. We has a bit of trouble finding the meeting point, but I recommend both providers.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
