About this experience
The uniqueness of Sciatumia Tour lies not only in the quality of stay on board as a space in the shade and in the sun and also in the toilets, which are also separate for women and men. Not only in the sumptuous lunch based on very fresh fish served comfortably at the table as in the restaurant, but in the sporting naturalistic approach, for those who really want to encounter the beauty of the island and learn all its secrets. The information from the guide, but also the fun outside of mass stereotypes that would make every place the same as any city noise. Nature plays music for us, so that you will never forget the week of holiday spent on this wonderful island.
