What To Expect
Spiaggia Santa Maria
The splendid Bay of Santa Maria is home to the only fishing village in the Capo Vaticano area. The popular tradition divides it into three zones: Scoglio Fortino, Santa Maria and Petrario. In the center of the bay, a small church was built in a square surrounded by a few small fishermen-inhabited houses. Our tour will start and end here.
Grotticelle Beach
The wide and jagged Grotticelle Bay, divided into a series of inlets and small bays, culminates with the Scoglio del Palombaro, the extreme point of Capo Vaticano. Here we will stop for about 30 minutes with the possibility of snorkeling among fish and other fish species.

5.00We did the tour with Carmine and Vincenzo, two very skilled and friendly guys, on a brand new inflatable boat with two 300 HP engines and a small group. We toured the coast from Santa Maria to Tropea, seeing all the coves, bays, and beaches, and swimming in crystal-clear waters. We also swam into the skeleton cave (a great experience).

5.00Carmello and Luis steered us along the coast of the gods to Tropea in a very relaxed manner. The three stops for swimming and snorkeling were well spaced out. On the boat, there were always interesting pieces of information about the breathtaking coastal sections.

3.00We were surprised to discover that the tour does not start in Tropea but a marina about 40 minutes away. Additionally, we were sardined into a boat with 15 total people. Once the tour began, it was beautiful. But that is just because of the location. One of the tour guides smoked. All in all, we felt like it was a bit of a bait and switch. We definitely wouldn’t recommend.
Stunning Coast of the Gods
