Itinerary
Your tour begins at Piazza Tonnara in Arenella
Meet your marine biologist guide at Piazza Tonnara in Palermo's seaside Arenella neighborhood. Step aboard the small motorsailer, breathe in the salty air, and set sail along the rugged Sicilian coast for a day at sea.
Drift past the sea cave of Grotta Regina
Marvel at Grotta Regina, a sea cave carved deep into the limestone cliffs above the water. Your guide unspools tales of the fishermen and smugglers who once slipped into its shadowed mouth to wait out storms.
Dive into the wild reefs of Addaura
Slip beneath the surface at Addaura, where a rocky seabed teems with octopus, bream, and damselfish. Your biologist points out hidden creatures clinging to the rocks while sunlight dances on the seafloor below.
Feast aboard in the Gulf of Mondello
Glide on toward Mondello, a glittering crescent bay framed by pastel villas and Monte Pellegrino looming behind. Linger on deck over Palermo rotisserie, Sicilian salumi and cheeses, and a chilled glass of local wine.
Glide through the Capo Gallo Marine Reserve
Sink back into the sea inside Capo Gallo, a protected reserve known for its biodiversity. Hover above swaying posidonia meadows and craggy reefs while your biologist names the species drifting just below your fins.
