About This Experience

Egadi Boating's day out of Trapani carries the best rating on the route with real volume behind it — 4.9 across 448 reviews — and it is the tour reviewers most often name when they talk about the skipper rather than the scenery. Small groups, a boat built to get into shallow water, and a crew who treat the itinerary as something to adjust rather than recite.

The route covers Favignana's headline coves first: Cala Rossa for the clear water, Bue Marino beneath the old tuff quarries, then Cala Azzurra. The boat calls at Favignana port so you can walk into the village, see the Florio tuna factory or eat at a restaurant of your choosing, before heading out to the Grotta degli Innamorati — the Lovers' Cave — where the skipper hands out masks and you swim in through one of its two entrances.

The afternoon crosses to Levanzo for Cala Fredda and Cala Minnola, the quieter half of the day and usually the best snorkelling of it. Beverages, alcoholic and soft, are included throughout, along with a snack, snorkelling gear, life vests and floaties.

At $80 per person it is priced above the shared cruises and below the private charters. If your priority is the water rather than the town, this is the Trapani tour whose reviews most consistently say the day was built around swimming.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.9/5 by 448 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

We had a wonderful trip with four stops for snorkeling and swimming. There were good restaurant recommendations in Favignana
— Chiara, Septemb

It was an amazing experience, especially thanks to the guide, Giuseppe, who took care of us the whole time and navigated the boat excellently. Thanks to him, we felt safe and comfortable. The islands and swimming were unforgettable. Thank you.
— Silvia, Septemb

Such a superb addition to our holiday. I was a little nervous about being on the water and I voiced this to our guide, Giuseppe, and he made sure to keep checking in with me. I needn't have been worried, there were 11 of us on this trip and the boat was easily big enough for all of us and well equipped with life jackets, floating aids and snorkelling equipment. Giuseppe was obviously very experienced at being on the water and I trusted him very quickly. We had plenty of time at each swimming spot for snorkelling and exploring - all well communicated to us - and there is no pressure to leave the boat if you just want to sunbathe. There were plenty of Italians at each location too so even though it's a tourist activity, it's nice to know it's what the locals are doing with their time off! There were plenty of iced drinks, fruit and bowls of crisps to keep you going before stopping for lunch on the larger of the islands - again, easily time for lunch, an ice-cream and a wander. 10/10

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from the cheaper Trapani cruises?

Group size and access. A smaller boat can anchor at Bue Marino and inside the Grotta degli Innamorati; the large shared vessels sail past them. It also means more swim time per stop and less waiting.

Can you really swim into the Lovers' Cave?

Yes. The skipper anchors outside, hands out snorkelling gear, and you swim in through one of the cave's two entrances. It is one of the stops guests mention most in reviews.

Is lunch included?

No. A snack and unlimited drinks are included; lunch is at your own expense during the stop in Favignana village, where the crew will point you at somewhere good.

What languages does the crew speak?

English, Italian, Spanish and French.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes — the boat is set up for adults and children alike, with life vests and floaties on board. It is not suitable for wheelchair users.
