I booked this tour online and paid €60. When I arrived at the port I saw the same trip was €40 if bought there. I paid an additional 50%for the privilege of booking online!!! Also I had to pay an additional €2.50 City tax which wasn't notified. I contacted the company and they said it was tour operator costs - no refund. They said no one had complained before - I find that really hard to believe. Unless you like throwing your money away I'd suggest waiting until you get to the port. The trip itself is enjoyable and the islands are lovely. Under covid they, naturally can't provide snorkeling equipment but definitely bring your own. So worth it. Lunch was pasta with tinned tomato and slice of melon. Bottled water was a plastic cup with lunch. A good day out if you can get past the rip off.

This night hike is very fascinating because the fortresses, illuminated by the light of the moon, take on an even more magical and mysterious appearance. The Argimusco plateau is a unique place, able to give the visitor a sense of peace and tranquility that will leave him wanting to return several times to contemplate the beauty of the landscape. It is also low light pollution, so the sky is particularly starry.

We loved our excursion, it was even better than expected. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable and kind. Before booking we were considering going up by ourselves and stop at 2900 meter but are SO GLAD we did this tour. I honestly feel it’s a completely different experience being able to go up to 3300 meters. We could hear the volcano growling and the lava spouting up but didn’t feel unsafe at any point - Pepe was great. I would say the hike was slightly more intens than expected with steep declines but as long as you’re reasonably fit it shouldn’t be an issue - it only made it more fun for us. Highly recommend!!!

This was a great trip, it is a small boat so you do need to book ahead but always check as they may have space available at short notice. The skills and knowledge of the marine biologist with us on board was great and really added to the trip. Any photos you take are useful to them as they can possibly identify individuals and so you are helping science with your trip. We did the evening trip and were lucky to see a couple of pods of striped dolphins close to the boat. As it is a small boast you are really close to them. It was lovely also to see the coast of Sicily with Mt Etna from the sea. The team are very helpful and if you are relying on public transport do contact them as they may be able to assist with their minibus.

I'm not sure how a museum can be so unassuming from the outside yet is a real gem inside. There is only a small name on the buzzer to enter but what lies inside is wall to wall ceramic tiles and also displays of vintage pieces and furniture. Entrance fee included a personal guided tour in english or italian. A wonderful experience.

Icredible experience! The dolphins in the Gulf of Catania are present in large groups and are beautiful, with nice colors. We observed the Stripped dolphins who socialised a couple of minutes with the boat. Just wonderful. It can tae a long time to observe them, but when you see them, you immediately forget about the waiting/searching time. The staff is very friendly and do all they can and take all the time needed to find the ceteceans. When you do the trip in the afternoon, you can furthermore enjoy a beautiful sunset with the Etna in the background. An adventure to recommend when going to Sicily!
