What to expect
You'll board a boat with a small group and head straight for the dramatic sea caves that puncture the northern coast—the guide points out geological features and coral growth as you drift through. The route swings past Ortigia's waterfront, where centuries-old buildings rise from the harbour. Midway through, the boat slows at Plemmirio Nature Reserve. Here you can choose to jump in and swim in remarkably clear water, or stay aboard while fresh seafood and drinks are served. The whole outing moves at a relaxed pace; it's about watching the landscape and eating well, not rushing.

Wheelchairs and prams are fully accommodated; all boat areas are accessible. Under-18s can't drink alcohol but get full non-alcoholic beverages. Bring sun protection and a towel if you plan to swim. Infants must sit on a lap. Tips are not included in the price.
