On arrival, dive into the crystal-clear waters of Cala Azzurra and Cala Rossa, ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and admire the combination of turquoise water and golden sands. Short stops at the Lovers’ Cave provide an intimate experience in secluded grottoes framed by vivid blue waters.

Lunch is served on board at Favignana port, offering a selection of authentic Trapani dishes including pane cunzato, arancini, mini pizzas, and fresh seasonal fruit, accompanied by soft drinks or wine. After lunch, take a brief stroll through Favignana’s historic centre, exploring artisan shops and tasting local products, absorbing the island’s maritime heritage.

The afternoon is dedicated to Levanzo, where Cala Dogana, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnola provide quiet coves for swimming, snorkelling, and relaxation. These waters and cliffs are full of history and biodiversity, from Phoenician and Roman settlements to natural freshwater springs. The tour ends with a scenic return to Trapani, leaving you with a private experience of the Egadi Islands’ natural beauty and cultural charm.

📍 Location

The tour departs from Vento di Maestrale Marina, Trapani, a central marina with easy access and parking nearby. The ride to Favignana takes about 30 minutes, passing small islets and scenic coastal views. Favignana itself is known for its historic port, white sandy beaches, and traditional fishing culture.

Levanzo, smaller and quieter than Favignana, offers secluded beaches, crystal-clear coves, and dramatic limestone cliffs. Its traditional village and limited tourist traffic create a more intimate atmosphere, ideal for a private maritime excursion. Both islands feature shallow bays and underwater life perfect for snorkelling and light swimming.

🎒 Prerequisites

No previous experience is required to enjoy this tour, but a moderate level of mobility is helpful for boarding the dinghy, climbing small steps on the islands, and getting in and out of the water safely. Basic swimming skills are recommended if you wish to snorkel or take a dip in the coves, and comfortable swimwear and shoes suitable for walking on rocky or sandy surfaces are advised.

Participants should be prepared to spend the majority of the day outdoors, so sun protection, hats, and hydration are important. Following the skipper’s instructions is essential for safety, particularly during manoeuvres or in rougher sea conditions. Bringing only essential items will ensure a more comfortable experience on the dinghy.
