“A great experience! The people are very friendly. I made a double booking (exploring Etna and this boat exploration). It was no problem to reschedule the booking, while we were absent, to the next day. The boat trip was unforgettable. A captain who lives for the sea and loves to sing, with great energy. Explaining the surroundings in Italian, while recording the explanations in Google translate, which caused some funny moments while playing these after his Italian explanatory, in English. The views from the boat are exceptional. and the water was clear and warm. Go for it!”
