A boat tour from Catania along the Cyclops Riviera is an experience that combines nature, myth and exclusive relaxation. You will sail at the foot of Mount Etna along one of the most fascinating coasts of Sicily, among black lava cliffs and crystal clear waters.

On board you will find comfortable upholstered seats, relaxing music in the background to create the perfect atmosphere, showers and changing rooms included to change comfortably after swimming.
