This boat tour lasts about 70 minutes and offers views of Ortigia Island seen from the sea along with the nearby sea caves. The tour begins by passing the Maniace Castle, visible from the water. Then the boat sails around Ortigia Island for approximately 35 minutes, allowing views of landmarks such as the Duomo, the church of Santa Lucia, Palazzo Veneziano, Ponte Umberto I, the small port, the former Bourbon prison, the Spanish Walls, Lungomare di Levante, Forte Vigliera, Castello Maniace, Fonte Aretusa, Lungomare Alfeo, and Porta Marina. After circling the island, the tour continues for about 35 minutes exploring the sea caves along the coast near Syracuse.
