The experience begins at Trapani marina, where you board a comfortable dinghy for a 30-minute ride to Favignana. During the journey, your skipper will introduce the surrounding islands, sharing stories of their natural features, maritime history, and local legends. Each stop offers time to swim, snorkel, and explore the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.
Favignana stops include Cala Azzurra for a refreshing dip, Bue Marino Cave to observe rock formations and marine life, Cala Rossa with its red cliffs and turquoise waters, and the Lovers’ Cave, known for its romantic setting. After lunch at Favignana port, enjoy a stroll through the village, discovering historic streets, artisan shops, and local products.
Levanzo offers three more stops: Cala Dogana, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnola. Here, you can swim, snorkel, and admire the unspoiled natural scenery. The small group size ensures a personalised experience, allowing visitors to enjoy each location at a relaxed pace. Your return to Trapani in the late afternoon concludes the day.
The tour departs from Vento di Maestrale Marina in Trapani, western Sicily. The marina provides easy access with parking, nearby cafés, and facilities for a comfortable start to your adventure.
Favignana, about 30 minutes from Trapani, is known for its limestone cliffs, red rocks, and quiet beaches. Its village features historic streets, artisan shops, and local eateries. Levanzo is smaller and less visited, with secret coves, clear waters, and traces of ancient settlements. Both islands offer calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, with striking natural and historical features visible from the dinghy.

Yes, children are welcome and life jackets are provided for all young guests. The small group size ensures that the skipper and crew can give close attention to safety, particularly when boarding the dinghy or during swimming stops. While the tour is family-friendly, children must be supervised at all times due to the open water and rocky landing areas.
Additionally, activities such as snorkeling may be limited for younger children depending on swimming ability. Families can plan their day to focus on shorter swim periods and more time exploring the village areas or enjoying scenic views from the dinghy.
Snorkeling equipment is included for all passengers, and each cove offers calm, clear waters with abundant marine life. Cala Azzurra, Cala Rossa, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnola provide excellent conditions for exploring shallow reefs, small caves, and fish-rich areas.
