Boat trip is nice however it does not stop on the island. You get to see some nice caves. You get to swim the water was nice. Our captain was super nice. Taormina is beautiful but you would need more than a couple of hours if you want to fully enjoy and have lunch.

We saw the beautiful countryside on the drive from Port to Taormina which is about an hour. Alessandra our tour guide was amazing and we learned lots of history during the drive.. Taormina has a lot of shopping a couple of church’s, restaurants. We then took the boat tour, which I expected to be very short, but it wasn’t. It was a nice tour our boat captain enjoyed his job and made sure w head a great time. We even had time for a swim in the Ionian Sea. Alessandra and boat captain shared Italian treats with us and that was an unexpected surprise.

This was one of the best experiences of our cruise. Roberto was a great tour guide. Right from the beginning, he greeted us with a smile. He shared some much information about the culture and the best was his suggestions on the cannoli, cassata and arancini to eat in Taormina. Then the second part was amazing!! THe boat to the blue grotto and swimming was a great way to top of the experience. Davide was our captain and was accommodating. I have to also than our driver Giancarlo who was awesome.
