My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!
davidcT7561MR, September 2026
Frederico, “our captain “ was nothing short of amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour itself was better than I even expected, and the spots we stopped to snorkel were so cool. Tasted sea urchin, saw lots of fish, had some delicious wine and swam through a cave. Do not miss this experience!

Fantastic experience
Sharkino_pinna, August 2026
A nothing short of fantastic experience! The boat trip to discover the Coast of the Gods is a truly unique experience, the best way to admire up close all the beauty of the coast, its coves, and its crystal-clear waters. The groups are small, and this allows you to experience the tour in total tranquility, without finding yourself crowded on the boat. And what could be better than an aperitif with a view of the Bay of Riaci? A simply spectacular moment, perfect for enjoying the view and making the experience even more special. Last, but absolutely not least, what about the skipper, Emilio?! A fantastic guy, cheerful and very helpful. In addition to guiding you throughout the journey, he told us about interesting facts and features of the various coves and places we encountered, making the tour even more interesting and engaging. An experience that I absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to experience the Coast of the Gods in an authentic way and without rushing. And I highly recommend... if you book, ask for Emilio!

We had an amazing time with Sea Sports Tropea. The staff were friendly, professional, and made us feel safe and welcome from the start. Everything was well organised, and the experience was so much fun. The beautiful crystal-clear water and incredible views of the Tropea coastline made it even more special. A perfect activity if you’re visiting Calabria and want to enjoy the sea in a fun and memorable way. Highly recommended, we would definitely do it again! 🌊☀️
