Sailing Tour Taormina Bay
About this experience
Discover the bays around the coast of Taormina with our sailing tour from Giardini Naxos. Enjoy the experience on board of our sailboat with a small group of participants and learn about the basics of sailing thanks to the explanations of our skipper. We will provide you with masks and snorkels to let you enjoy the view of sea bottom and the marine life during the stops we will do for swimming. Finally, enjoy a fulfilling aperitif with wine on board of the sailboat while living the dreamy atmosphere of the Dolce Vita. Possibility of having a full light lunch, rather than an aperitif, during the 12:45 PM – 15:45 PM time slot.
