Review of Cefalù’s three-hour boat and snorkeling trip, with clear water, coastal views, fruit, prosecco, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Was a scam, did not get what we paid for. At first we were told that there was not room for us on the boat, and then we were told we could get a boat tour 4,5 hours later. Then the new boat was filled with too many people, not room for us to sit in the boat, we did not get drinks or the fruit that we paid for. Would not recommend booking this.”
