Overview

This shared boat tour lasts about three and a half hours and departs from Tropea to Capo Vaticano along the Coast of the Gods. The group size is limited to between 6 and 12 passengers, with one infant allowed. A local skipper leads the tour, stopping at several locations to swim and snorkel. The itinerary includes swimming in bays and lagoons such as Tropea Beach, Grotta dello Scheletro (Skeleton Cave), Spiaggia Di Riaci, Praia di Fuoco, and the emerald waters of Grotticelle Beach. The skipper provides snorkeling gear, including masks and tubes, all sanitized, plus life jackets. Passengers can see marine life like octopuses, starfish, and colorful fish. One stop is the ruins of Forum Erculis, and there is also a chance to taste fresh sea urchins at Formicoli Beach. Onboard, guests are offered a light aperitif with local wine, soft drinks, sweets, and savory snacks, along with bottled water. The tour visits several golden sandy coves and hidden bays only accessible by boat. The skipper guides guests to exclusive spots along the coastline that would be difficult to reach independently. The tour does not include hotel pickup or parking fees at the marina, which are available for an additional charge. Participants should bring a swimsuit, hat, and beach towel. A WhatsApp phone number is required for communication. Children aged 3 to 6 have a reduced fare, while those 7 and older pay the adult price.
