Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll cruise to the marine reserve of Isola Bella for a chance to spot wild dolphins
  • You get to see the splendid bay of Taormina from the sea
  • There's time to clink 'cheers' as you sip your sundowner aperitif on board
What to expect

Cruising by the iconic Isola Bella at sunset, with an aperitif in hand, you'll really take your holiday to the next level. And that's just the first part of the trip. Once you've admired the coastline, you'll be whisked further from the coast to the Isola Bella marine reserve. Here, we'll begin our search for dolphins - if we are lucky enough to spot a group, we will approach cautiously so we can observe them without disturbing them.

    Travelled as a couple

    Het was erg onduidelijk waar we moesten zijn. De plek die in de mail stond klopte niet. Dus wij zoeken en zoeken in de brandende zon. Heel vervelend De tocht duurde maar 1,5 uur ipv 2-4 vanwege hoge golven. Kan gebeuren maar we gingen ineens terug zonder dat er iets gezegd werd en toen de excursie afgelopen. Weggegooid geld dus. Vooral omdat we hem eigenlijk 2 dagen daarvoor al zouden doen. Toen werden we 25 minuten van te voren gebeld dat het niet doorging vanwege hoge golven

    Travelled with family

    Enig minpuntje was dat de boot wat later was en de persoon die bij het verzamelpunt stond liet ons in de volle zon wachten. Dikke plus voor de bestuurder van de boot die veel wist te vertellen over de omgeving en precies wist waar de dolfijnen zaten.

    Een zeer enthousiaste schipper/ gids liet ons eerst alle mooie eilandjes, grotten en strandjes zien! We werden getracteerd op Ciciliaanse Arancini en een lekker glaasje wijn.Daarna gingen we op zoek naar de dolfijnen. Helaas lieten zij zich niet zien. Toch was het een mooi avontuur, met dank aan Nando.

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch
Attractions & guided tours

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Corleone was once a town once infamous for its mafia ties, but today it is a beacon of resistance and justice. The panoramic drive through the mountains sets the stage for an enlightening day ahead. Vincenzo, one of our expert local guides says, “This fascinating, insightful tour is designed to educate and debunk Hollywood's glamorised portrayal of mafia life, offering instead a genuine glimpse into the courageous fight against organised crime. This is an important tour for our town." First up is The Godfather's House Museum, a grand 19th-century residence that takes you on a journey through time, exploring the birth of both the mafia and anti-mafia movements. Next, delve deeper into this complex history at the CIDMA Antimafia Museum, home to an extensive collection of documents and exhibits chronicling the dark past and brave resistance against the mafia. After a walking tour of Corleone's historic streets, you'll be whisked off to a local restaurant near the Royal Palace of Ficuzza for a classic Italian lunch, surrounded by natural beauty. Finally, sit back and relax on your return journey to Cefalù, taking with you a deeper understanding of Corleone's transformation from a mafia stronghold to a place that local people are proud to call home, a place with a future free from the clutches of organized crime.

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Watching the sky light up with shades of orange and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is a special sensation. This drama-rich tour takes you to Mount Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You'll head to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then relax over a traditional meal to round off your adventure. You'll go by minibus to Etna, then, as the terrain becomes rockier, you'll switch to a 4x4 vehicle. As you make your way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that's safely reachable – there'll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar landscape and the lava-smothered flanks of this towering mountain. Make sure you're wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from near the summit, an expert alpine guide will take you to a less exposed 2,500m, where you'll watch the sunset in a more comfortable location. Then on the way back, you'll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.
