Boat tour to Favignana & Levanzo with Tastings and Swim stop
About This Experience
Six hours, five swim stops, and no mainland crossing to spend two of those hours on. Egadi Discovery run this from Favignana itself, and the shape of the day is simply more swimming per euro than any Trapani departure can offer at $70.
The Favignana leg takes in Cala Rossa, Bue Marino and Cala Azzurra. The boat then crosses to Levanzo and stops first at Cala Fredda, before docking at the small port so you have an hour on foot in the village — the whitewashed hamlet at Cala Dogana that most Trapani tours only see from the water.
Leaving Levanzo there is a final swim at Cala Minnola, under the Faraglione, and on the way back to Favignana the boat calls at the Blue Grotto on the island's northern side for one last stop. That northern coast is the part of Favignana that day-trippers from the mainland almost never reach.
Included are the five swim stops, a tasting of typical local products, two pieces of fruit, wine and water, snorkelling equipment, and — worth noting on a six-hour day — a toilet on board. Rated 4.8 across 179 guests.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.8/5 by 179 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
A wonderful experience; the guide, Fabio, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
— Martina, Septemb
It was a very good experience, very complete, and they let us swim many times, seeing the most beautiful coves on the islands. They provided snorkeling equipment, and the 'appetizer' is more like a meal, which was very good by the way!
— Adam, Septemb
A wonderful experience! Nanni and Vincenzo accompanied us on this very full tour: we were able to swim in many very beautiful coves and, for those who wanted to, there was the option of getting fins, a mask, and a snorkel to go snorkeling. The packed lunch was simple but very good: an appetizer of bruschetta, cunzato bread, and melon, with wine and water. The atmosphere was very pleasant, with music and also interaction with other boats that had set off with us on the tour. I would take off half a star only because the one-hour stop in Levanzo from 2 pm to 3 pm was a bit tough: wandering around in the sun with no guidance on what to do or see was tough, at least for us! Anyway, I recommend the tour!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is six hours better than an eight-hour tour from Trapani?
Because roughly an hour of every Trapani day is spent crossing to the islands and back. This one starts and finishes at Favignana, so six hours here buys more swim stops than eight hours from the mainland.
Do you actually get off at Levanzo?
Yes — the boat docks at the port and you have about an hour to walk the village at Cala Dogana. Many Trapani tours only sail past it.
What is the Blue Grotto stop?
A sea cave on Favignana's northern coast, taken on the way back from Levanzo. It is the part of the island that mainland day tours rarely have time to reach.
Is lunch included?
Not a full lunch — a tasting of typical local products, two pieces of fruit, wine and water are included. Eat before you board, or bring something for the day.
Is there a toilet on board?
Yes, which is not a given on boats of this size and is worth knowing on a six-hour trip.
