Coastal Cruise and Snorkeling Tour from San Vito Lo Capo

This eco-friendly hybrid boat tour suits nature lovers and snorkelers exploring Sicily’s scenic coast and the Zingaro Nature Reserve.

Description

Start at San Vito Lo Capo tourist port, where the crew welcomes you to board an eco-friendly hybrid boat. Cruise along the coast toward the Zingaro Nature Reserve, spanning 7 kilometers with a rugged coastline of caves, coves, and small beaches accessible only by sea.

Along the way, visit Cala Tonnarella dell’Uzzo, Cala del Leone, and the Grotta degli Innamorati, where you can swim and snorkel to a tiny hidden beach inside the cave.

Continue to Tonnara di Scopello, one of Sicily’s oldest tuna fisheries, located in a bay with dramatic faraglioni rock formations. This spot offers excellent snorkeling due to its rich seabed.

Stop at Castellammare del Golfo for approximately two hours to explore the old town, walk the seafront, or enjoy a traditional Trapani-style lunch (not included) in local restaurants.

Afterward, return on board and sail toward Cala Bianca, known for its pebbled shore and clear waters, and Cala Rossa, surrounded by rose-colored rocks, where you can take one last swim.

On the return to San Vito Lo Capo, the skipper serves a traditional aperitif with local delicacies and drinks while you relax. The tour ends at the port around 5:00 PM.
