★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 148 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $48Our pick

See Cefalù from the water on a two to three hour cruise with Captain Mario, Nicola, or Mario’s daughter Est. Expect coastal views, two or three swim stops, historical commentary, music, and a small prosecco aperitif with snacks. The evening departure can finish with sunset.

“We were on a family trip in Sicily and I worked with Viator customer service to book a private boat tour and showed up to find there were other people put on our boat. Seeing as we had 10 people including young children / infants we were not expecting to have others (for both their and our enjoyment). The experience from then was awful where we were told to pay off the other people with cash and then had a very awkward boat experience with little to no communication.”

3.Boat excursion in Cefalù and snorkeling 3 hours fruit and drink

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 85 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $72

Spend about three hours aboard a small boat from Cefalù’s Porto Presidiana, stopping at clear-water coves for swimming and snorkeling. You’ll see the coast from the sea, enjoy fruit and prosecco, and return to the harbor with a group capped at 14 people.

“Weather was fabulous and the boat was fine with shade. The driver had no English, so didn’t point out any sights. He drove to 3 areas for a swim. Unfortunately, there was just a basic ladder unfolded off the back of the boat with no handrails making it very hard (for someone unable to jump into the water) to enter or exit the sea. I was one of 2 people unable to get in for a swim at all, as I wouldn’t have been able to pull myself up into the boat. Other younger people found it easier to do but would have preferred there to be up a ladder…”
