14 reviews

Discover the magic of the Costa degli Dei on a dream boat tour designed to amaze you from start to finish. You set sail from the port of Tropea and enjoy a relaxing 3-hour journey along an extraordinary stretch of coastline, revealing marine wonders that can only be admired from the sea. As the boat glides across crystal-clear waters, you reach the famous Grotta Azzurra, also known as the Grotta dello Scheletro, where you can swim inside and be mesmerised by the natural light reflections that illuminate the cave.

The tour continues with a panoramic passage through the stunning Bay of Riaci, recognised as the most beautiful beach in Italy, before heading towards Formicoli, an ancient Roman port area once known as Forum Herculis and now a perfect spot for snorkelling among rich marine life. The experience is completed with a visit to Grotticelle Beach in Capo Vaticano, where white sand and transparent waters create an unforgettable scene, enhanced by a scenic cruise past the iconic Praia di Fuoco.

On board, you are welcomed with a refreshing aperitif, guided by an expert skipper, and provided with all snorkelling equipment, including masks and snorkels. Book now and treat yourself to an unforgettable experience in one of southern Italy's most breathtaking coastal landscapes.

    We got a taxi to the Port of Tropea (as detailed in the booking) , but it was the wrong entrance and it took us 30 minutes to find the right place. The point of departure was not signposted and there were lots of other boat tours. The boat was small and felt a lot of people had been crammed on. It was exhilarating speeding on the water but no life jackets had been offered and there was nothing to hold onto which felt scary and dangerous. The stops for swimming were beautiful and staff friendly.

    We thought overall very good fun experience. Crew very helpful and friendly.. Enjoyed the boat ride. Possibly a safety briefing may help those who feel nervous but we were fine. We really enjoyed it. Wayne and Jenny Brown

    Wir sind mit einem (überdachten) Schlauchboot an der Küste entlanggefahren. Teilweise war es ziemlich rasant und wackelig. Wir haben an drei Stellen gehalten, um zu baden. Es gab Taucherbrillen aber leider keine Schnorchel. Die Tour wurde auf Italienisch und Englisch begleitet. Zwischendurch gab es einen kleinen Snack und Sekt. Die Musik war leider etwas zu laut. Die Tourguides waren sehr freundlich und haben zu besonderen Stellen auch spannende Informationen geteilt. Es war eine lustige Tour.

    En härlig tur med fantastiskt hav och ljuvlig och spännande kuststräcka att titta på. Hade ev önskat mer exklusiva stopp (andra båtar stannade på samma ställen) för snorklingen. Hade önskar att Tui betättat/skyltat bättre för svårt att veta och hitta vilken tur vi bokat in då det var flera bolag så det blev snurrigt för oss. Men på der stora hela var det en av veckans höjdpunkter. Otroligt vackert hav och mysig tur!
