What To Expect
Embark on an exclusive adventure on the "Ulysses Coast" departing from the picturesque port of Catania.
During the journey, we will pass through the suggestive area of Ognina until we reach the fascinating Caves of Ulysses, where the tale of legends that resonate in the echoes of time will begin. As we approach Aci Castello, we will listen to the stories of its majestic castle of Byzantine origin, built on a cliff that rises proudly towards the sea.
Our arrival in Aci Trezza will be marked by mooring at a reserved buoy near the legendary Faraglioni. Here we will offer you a detailed explanation of the geological formation of the stacks and the legends surrounding them, including the famous story of Lachea Island and the Cyclops reserve.
Among the planned activities, you will have the opportunity to explore the vibrant seabed with guided snorkeling or enjoy the sea more serenely with a SUP and paddle. We will also have a moment dedicated to taking a group photo, which you can easily download via a QR code.
We often meet dolphins too!
To enrich your experience, we will serve you a typical Sicilian aperitif accompanied by prosecco.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour.

May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
