Activity itinerary

Castello Normanno (Pass by)

Welcome on board! Once you meet the skipper you will get on board on a boat with three double cabins (one will be available during the excursion), a bathroom with shower and external shower, a kitchen and a refrigerator. These caves were formed in a beautiful lava cliff overlooking the sea. The colours of the backdrops are gorgeous, from dark blue, to green, to light blue. Marvel at the Medieval Castle While sailing towards Acitrezza, you will pass under the medieval castle of Acicastello. Spectacular the view of the castle by the sea. You can observe the characteristic “pillow lavas” found under the castle and due to the rapid cooling of submarine eruptions.

Acitrezza

  • 1h
Once docked at the port of Aci Trezza, you will have about an hour of free time and it is up to you to decide how to spend it (this time is not included in the daily charter and is your responsibility). For instance, you could take a walking tour of the picturesque fishing village of Acitrezza. Alternatively, you could hire a pedalo (included in the price) or take advantage of a transport service on a small fishing boat that will take you to Lachea Island, the heart of the reserve, where you can snorkel with equipment provided by us. Back on the boat, we will offer you on board a lunch (included in the price): starter, first fish course (may vary depending on the availability of the catch of the day), fresh seasonal fruit, water and white wine Doc. *It is possible to request a vegetarian or vegan menu. For any other dietary requirements (gluten free, vegan diet, etc.), please let us know when booking. The return to the port is expected around 6 PM.
