Catania: Boat Excursion to Acitrezza with the Faraglioni and Snorkeling
About This Experience
A relaxed, small-group 2-hour boat excursion that skips the fixed itinerary most tours run — you sail the Cyclops Riviera among the Faraglioni at whatever pace the group and the sea allow, with Mount Etna in the background.
There's no rigid schedule of stops: the local skipper picks swim spots based on conditions that day, in coves that are difficult to reach by land. Drinks and fresh fruit are served on board as a courtesy during the trip.
Because groups are kept small, this is a good pick if you want a genuinely unhurried, low-key version of the Cyclops Coast experience rather than a set 4-hour circuit.

I loved the experience. It was a trip on a very nice, quiet boat, with good company, very beautiful scenery, and with the skipper Máximo, who was very attentive.
