About this experience

Needless to explain why a boat trip around the Costa degli Dei (from Capo Vaticano to Tropea) is a viaticum necessary to fully understand the nature of this splendid coast. But a couple of things let us say: you will live a day by the sea in the company of very nice local captains and you will see extraordinary inlets: the caves and beaches of Capo Vaticano, which you would otherwise only hear about because they are unreachable by land.

The tour takes place every day starting from the Bay of Santa Maria (Capo Vaticano) according to the following calendar:

Morning: 09.00 / 12: 00 Afternoon: 15: 00/18: 00

During the route three stops will be made in the most beautiful places with the possibility of snorkeling, on returning from Tropea the last stop will be made near the tip of Capo Vaticano, with transparent waters embellished with seabed varied by marine flora and fauna.

The tour will start and end from the same point
