Top Sicily Snorkeling - page 3

First off, our guide Salvo was absolute perfection! He was so welcoming, kept everyone’s safety priority #1, and made sure we all had the absolute best time while giving us awesome flexibility. ​ A few helpful notes for future travelers: ​-Logistics: The meeting point was easy to find, and the tour company sent super helpful text and email updates leading up to it. ​-The Drive: The drive to Mt. Etna takes about an hour and gets very winding. If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely bring medication! I don't get motion sickness all that often and it was rough for me, even. ​-The Hike: We’re mid-30s and fairly fit, but the altitude hit us harder than expected, so we opted to sit out the main Mt. Etna hike (we heard it was pretty tough!). There were easier alternative options available, but we decided to take it easy due to the elevation. ​Even with the bumpy start, the rest of the day was magic. Lunch in a charming small town was a massive highlight with incredible views, amazing local tastings, and a fantastic little spot. Afterward, Taormina was gorgeous! It was a scorching day, so we spent a lot of time relaxing in the shade of the public gardens, but the coastal views, shopping, and sights were unreal. ​ Despite the rough drive, this was a total 10/10 experience! Salvo was super knowledgeable, and we loved having the freedom to take photos and explore at our own pace.

This was an excellent tour. From start to finish our tour guide Fabio was professional, funny, friendly, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. He did a fantastic job of including people from different countries in the conversation and leaving time for questions. We learned so much about Mount Etna and the surrounding area and little towns. The pace and stops were perfect. 100% my family and I would recommend this tour!

Great value, beautiful new boat and charming host and captain. The tour was perfect, with beautiful swimming spots and picturesque views. We had tasty wine, some delicious quick bites and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend this experience with ZYZ!
