I had the best time during this activity. Everything was perfect, timing, food, drinks and snorkeling with a marine biologist was just the cherry on the top. Best day in Palermo.

Nothing could be improved. It was the highlight of my stay in Palermo. Giuseppe and Micael were wonderful hosts with a great sense of humour. Plenty of opportunities to snorkel and Giuseppe’s knowledge of sea life brilliant thank you to the both of them for wonderful memories.

Giuseppe and micael were absolutely wonderful! Very sweet, very knowledgeable and always willing to help! I wish i could give this experience 10 stars because it was genuinely the highlight of our Palermo trip. Giuseppe offered both me and my friend a snorkel closer to the shore because there were more species to be seen there! He helped us swim out, stopped at each point and explained what kind of creature we are seeing! It does get quite tiring if you spend as much time as we did in the water, but there is no pressure at all! All the equipment was provided and at each stop we were free to enter and leave the boat into the water as we please! Once again, it is an absolutely wonderful experience, food was also great! Very traditional sicilian cuisine, if you can spare a day for this definitely do it, clear waters, italian sun, and the most wonderful tour guides!!!
