The coast of Taormina and Giardini Naxos offers a scenario of incomparable beauty characterized by a succession of small beaches, bays, and suggestive caves set in the rocky walls that define this stretch of coast. Among the most famous caves, you'll find the Blue Grotto located in the Marine Park of Isola Bella in Taormina, where we recommend wearing a mask and snorkeling for an underwater adventure. There's also the Cave of Lovers located in the Gulf of Giardini Naxos and the Coral cave. Boarding takes place from the Port of Giardini Naxos and continues towards Cape Taormina, where you can observe colonies of corals attached to the rock and some species of fish that inhabit these waters.

Upon returning to the boat, you'll be greeted with a refreshing aperitif accompanied by fresh seasonal fruit. The tour continues towards the splendid Bay of Mazzarò up to the Baia delle Sirene, where you can admire the luxurious hotels that overlook this stretch of coast and the very long beach of Letojanni.
