Overall the activity was good. The guide was funny but spoke very little English ( we understand Italian so it wasn’t an issue for us). We did 2 hour trip and had plenty of time for swimming which was nice. The caves aren’t that interesting compared to other places to be honest. For the last 30 minutes it was like time was being filled so I think you can do this trop in 1 hour and still have the same experience.

Wonderful day out - highlight of our trip to Sicily. We were lucky to find Ortiga and fell in love with the town. We booked the boat tour and were happy with our 10-15 minute swim in the crystal clear Mediterranean - prosecco and fruit provided on the way back to town and the views were spectacular. My boys aged 8 and 11 adored the captain who had limited English but was fun! We highly recommended this trip to everyone who would listen when we returned back to our family and friends. Only thing I wish was that finding the correct place to go to find the boat was a little easier - but once we did find the flag and saw the clean, good size boat and uniformed staff... we felt very comfortable!

We had a great trip around Ortigia and the various Siracusa grottos with our skipper Otto, who was very insightful with his information about key sites but was also great at letting us sit back, relax and enjoy the sights, sun and sea. We saw a number of other boat trips out at the same time which looked to be more crowded and just quickly buzzing between stops. This tour took it's time and let us really enjoy the sites in what seemed like a lot more comfort than the other boats we saw.
