“We had the most fantastic time from the check in at the office till the end of our boat ride. We saw dolphins swimming and jumping right in front of us. Antonio, our captain, Mariella and Sonia were delightful, courteous and super attentive. The views of the Etna, Taormina, Isola Bella, the caves, well... everything!! were wonderful. They served us pizza and prosecco while we stopped to jump in the water. Amazing experience for the whole family. Even our 3-year-old boy dared to jump and swim with the fish. We loved it and will definitely recommend it to everyone. We hope to come back soon. Grazie mille e arrivederci!”
