About This Experience

EgadisLife are a small local cooperative and this is their standard day: a 10:30 departure from Favignana harbour, six hours, and lunch actually served on board — which at $70 makes it the cheapest fed day anywhere in this catalogue.

The morning follows Favignana's coast through the cliffs and hidden bays, with stops at Cala Rossa, Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino and the Grotta degli Innamorati, and commentary on the island's traditions including the history of the tonnara, the tuna fishery that shaped the place.

At 12:45 the boat heads for Levanzo, where you get around an hour ashore to walk the village and the seafront. The route back down the Levanzo coast stops at Cala Minnola and Cala Fredda before returning to Favignana.

Lunch on board is a rustic appetiser, a pane cunzato — the Sicilian filled bread — plus fruit, water and wine. Rated 4.9 across 60 guests, with the skippers named individually in most of them.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.9/5 by 60 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

There were three of us. We took part in this boat excursion on 08/26/2026. Vincenzo the blond guy was an excellent guide, both for his description of the various stops (departure from the harbor of Favignana - Scalo Cavallo - Cala Rossa - Bue Marino - Cala Fredda - 1 hour to Levanzo - Cala Faraglione - Grotta degli Innamorati - return to the harbor of Favignana), and for his help while swimming in the sea. There were three of us, and one of us didn't swim well. Vincenzo helped us with the float, allowing us to swim at each stop and enjoy the sea to the fullest, both for those who were more experienced and for those who had some difficulty. The stops were wonderful, and we really enjoyed the experience. The food was also very good, with tuna bottarga bruschetta, pane cunzato, and cantaloupe melon, accompanied by water and/or wine. We absolutely recommend this experience!

We were two 12-person boats, with two skippers: Vincenzo Moro and Vincenzo Biondo. We were with Vincenzo Biondo, who was friendly, kind, and very professional. Lots of swimming, and the "cunzato sandwich" was as good as the wine. My 17-year-old daughter said, "It was perfect."... Paola and Viola

Frequently Asked Questions

Is lunch really included at this price?

Yes — a rustic appetiser, a pane cunzato, fruit, water and wine, served on board. At $70 that is the cheapest included lunch of any tour on this site.

What time does it run?

Departure at 10:30 from Favignana harbour, Levanzo from about 12:45, back to Favignana at the end of a six-hour day.

Do you go ashore at Levanzo?

Yes, for around an hour — enough to walk the village and the seafront at Cala Dogana before the boat continues to Cala Minnola and Cala Fredda.

Can I do this if I'm staying in Trapani?

Only if you take the hydrofoil to Favignana first and are on the island before 10:30. If you are based on the mainland, a Trapani departure is simpler.

How big is the group?

Small — this is a local cooperative running a modest boat rather than a large excursion vessel. Reviewers consistently name the skipper, which tends to follow from group size.
