8.Sunset Boat Tour with Aperitif

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 86 reviews · 2 hours · from $58

Watch Taormina’s sunset from the water, swim by Isola Bella, spot dolphins, and enjoy Sicilian drinks on this two-hour boat tour.

“Enjoyable sunset boat trip. Friendly guide and captain. Saw some quick glimpses of dolphins. Opportunity to swim. Apéritifs were just crisps and nuts but there was a good selection of drink options. Dropped us back off at a bay closer to our hotel which was very appreciated. One thing I would say is that the meeting point isn’t very clear. Hang around Re del Sole on the beach, and the boat should turn up just on time.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 83 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $54

See Taormina’s coast at sunset on a small-group boat ride with Sicilian aperitivo, wine, snorkeling, and views of Mount Etna.

“It was a rough day on the water. The experience would have been much better with calm seas. It was a nice ride and worth the money we paid. You stopped at a cove and anchored for a swim, had some prosecco and snacks. They do serve peanuts, so if you have a nut allergy please be aware (my daughter has a severe peanut allergy). She was fine, just didn’t have or touch anything. If you can pick a day with calm seas I would recommend.”
