The Tour is divided into 2 parts: 1) In the first part of the tour, you will have the opportunity to take a relaxing walk, discovering the infinite shades of white that characterize the salt, not to mention the blue of the sea, the gray clay, and the pink of the pools.

Through this tour, the Culcasi salt pans offer an experience suitable for all age groups within the WWF reserve, among protected plants and birds, so you will be able to see the salt that forms in the tanks by collecting it with your hands and following step by step the whole process that transforms seawater into the salt that everyone knows. 2) The second part of the tour focuses on the guided tour of the salt museum and the ancient mill from the 1400s, where you can really get involved in the history of salt, retracing not only the tiring work of the salt pan but above all, the history of the family that has run it for generations.

I was very happy with our tour! The ship crew was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We stopped at truly beautiful places. Although the water was quite cool in mid-June, we still went swimming and had a great time. There was food on board: first a kind of brunch, and later a proper lunch. Everything was well-prepared and tasty. Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip and would definitely recommend it!

5 out of 5 stars

Everything was great, really well organized, on time. The experiences and views were amazing. Just one thing—the attractions were described in Italian—they were described more slowly, clearly, and in more detail, and in English I felt like there was a little less information. If the English description could be refined a little more (it's already at a good level), it would be amazing.

5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely wonderful! I had an amazing time. Definitely value for money. Lunch and watermelon were provided, and the boat had a bar where you could buy alcohol and soft drinks. Staff were very friendly! Favignana and Levanzo were stunning, and we got to jump off the boat and swim at Cala Azzurra. Would book again!

5 out of 5 stars

It was a nice trip from beginning to end. We were able see the main things of the two small islands and we learned a bit about them. The sea its beautiful and we were able to even go for a 10 min swim. It’s a good price for a boat trip.
