About this tour
Explore Palermo's rocky shoreline aboard a small boat, island-hopping along the northern coast from Addaura eastward. This eight-hour outing takes you past secluded swimming spots and anchorages, with time to dive, snorkel, or simply float in clear water. The boat moves at an easy pace, stopping at coves where you can slip overboard or rest on deck with a cold drink.
Highlights
- Boat access to hidden coves unreachable by land
- Swim and dive in crystalline Tyrrhenian Sea water
- Isola delle Femmine: rocky island with historic tower
- Addaura peninsula departure point with coastal views
- Soft-paced schedule, no rigid itinerary
- Refreshments provided throughout the day
What to expect
You'll board a nimble dinghy and head out along Palermo's northern shore, stopping at three or four quiet anchorages. Each stop lasts 45 minutes to an hour, allowing time to jump in, drift, or sunbathe. The boat idles in shallow bays where you can see the seabed. Isola delle Femmine, your furthest point, sits rocky and windswept offshore. The return journey follows the same route as the afternoon sea typically calms. Bring your own mask and fins if you want to snorkel; otherwise, floating and swimming suffice.
Good to know
Snorkelling gear not included—rent or bring your own. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Public buses serve the Addaura launch point. Wear sun protection and a rash guard. Bring a towel and change of clothes. Suitable for all fitness levels but involves climbing in and out of the boat.
