Blue Grotto Extravaganza
Aug 2019
A fabulous day on a small boat ( 10 of us) exploring around the coast and rock formations at Isola Bella. Went into the Blue Cave which was gorgeous. Several opportunities to jump in and enjoy the crystal clear cool water and enjoy a fruit treat on board. A wonderful relaxing afternoon ending with lunch at Pizzichella with several options. Can't recommend it highly enough!

A wonderful way to experience Taormina

The boat ride was excellent viewing along the coast and into Grottos. The tour went out at 9.30am as planned even though there was only my husband and I booked. Delicious lunch followed

Relaxing trip, great food
Jun 2019 • Couples
The boat was as expected small, intimate and relaxing. Lovely to have a small group on a boat trip which made it spectacular.

Our skipper was lovely, very welcoming, very informative and came across as a lovely guide.

The food for lunch included in the price was amazing, the fish salad starter was huge, fresh octopus, mussels, squid and really good. The waitress was very accommodating and wine included. The view from the restaurant was also spectacular.

Would definitely book again, Isola Bella doesn’t disappoint in regards to the Sicily charm.

Our guide spoke some English but did not seem to comprehend it when spoken to,
Sep 2018 • Friends
Our boat was full when we arrived because one of our group was late. Maybe because she said some back at one and half. One and a half hours or 1:30? We will never know. She had to scout for a boat and found one able to take 10 and we were 12. It was drizzling, there was no cover, the wooden benches were wet. When I said we weren't going, thinking I was fixing her problem, she argue with me. Originally she had told us there was nothing to see along the Taormina Blvd. and she was right. Shops and restaurants only. After the ill fated boat trip she announced we were going back to the city for a walking tour in the rain. No one got off the bus and she finally headed back to our shi[.

Clearest sea water i have ever seen
Aug 2018 • Family
We were a group of 10, on a great boat trip. We explored the beautiful coastline, entered into some caves, where the water are so clear in shades of blue. The boat stopped in a spot near a beach and we jumped from the boat to the water. It was so much FUN.
Very recommended and enjoyable trip.

P.S - the sea wasn't calm so if you suffer from sensitive stomach take an anti nausea pill before

Beautiful coastline
Great boat trip with my 17 year old son. We explored the beautiful coastline, were brought in to a few caves. The sea is so clear and a vivid green or blue. Opportunity to swim in the sea and finished off with a lovely lunch once we disembarked. Very enjoyable trip with a great guide.
