First Snorkeling Area – Isola Bella Marine Park
The first snorkeling stop usually takes place near the protected waters of Isola Bella. The area is known for volcanic rock formations, natural seabeds and regulated marine biodiversity.
Wetsuits, mask and fins are provided. The instructor supervises water entry and exit procedures. Guests can reboard comfortably using the stern ladder.
The duration of each snorkeling session varies between 25 and 40 minutes depending on sea conditions and group pace.
Second Snorkeling Area – Sheltered Coastal Bay
The second snorkeling stop is selected based on wind direction and sea stability. It takes place in Mazzarò Bay or the Bay of the Sirens, while Capo Taormina is admired during the navigation.
This dual-stop structure allows guests to experience two distinct underwater environments instead of a single swim break.

During surface intervals between snorkeling sessions, Sicilian food is served onboard. The selection includes Sicilian appetisers and freshly baked tavola calda specialities such as arancini, pizzette and cartocciate.
