The Marine Park of Isola Bella in Taormina is one of the natural treasures of eastern Sicily. Its white limestone rocks covered with Mediterranean vegetation and its unspoilt seabeds create a spectacular setting. This area is considered one of the best places for snorkelling in Taormina, where you can observe starfish and schools of colourful fish that inhabit this protected marine reserve.

The seabed around Isola Bella in Taormina forms part of a natural marine reserve rich in Mediterranean biodiversity.

The adventure begins with departure from the Port of Giardini Naxos, sailing towards Capo Taormina to admire the famous Lovers’ Cave and the orange corals that grow along the rocky walls.

Continuing along the coast of Capo Taormina, we will reach the southern side of the Isola Bella Marine Park. Here you will put on your mask and fins for the first snorkelling stop in one of the most beautiful areas of the coastline.

After the first swim, we will move to another spectacular bay: the Bay of the Sirens, known for its emerald-coloured waters, where we will enjoy a second snorkelling stop.
