Il Parco Marino dell’Isola Bella di Taormina è una destinazione perfetta per i subacquei ed è molto popolare tra gli appassionati di snorkeling, grazie ai numerosi eccellenti punti dove ammirare la straordinaria vita marina nelle splendide acque del Mar Mediterraneo.
At Sea Spirit Diving Resort, you can join our reputable half day snorkel tour in the morning, with two stops at the Isola Bella Marine Park during the season, starting from April until October. In July and August, we also organize snorkel tours in the afternoon.
Taormina snorkel tour trips with Sea Spirit provide snorkeling equipment and a professional guide on our boat. We will take you to 2 of the best snorkeling locations at the park, the beautiful shallow bays. If you don’t have time to enjoy one of our diving courses, we can introduce you to the underwater world with our half day snorkel experience.
With refreshments like fruits and ice-tea onboard, music and the sun above our heads, snorkel trips provide great value for the novice snorkeler who wants to experience the marine world for the first time and enjoy a fun day.
Excellent snorkel locations are the bay of the Blue Cave, the bay of the Greek/Roman Columns and last but not least, the bay of the famous Isola Bella. At the Isola Bella you can snorkel between the rocks, admiring the many small fish and false red corals that grow just underneath the surface.
The bay of the Blue Cave has a huge variety of underwater marine life and large boulders, offering snorkelers a kaleidoscope of colors. You can see large shoals of saddled seabreams swimming around and many more types of Mediterranean fishes like painted combers and dreamfish. It will keep you busy snorkeling and having fun for many hours. If you have a good eye, you could even spot an octopus! Starting from our boat, the maximum depth is about 3 meters and even closer to the rocks, the depths are only 1 meter.
Situated on the southern side of the park, the Greek/Romans Columns Bay gives a splendid view to huge rocks on both sides and gives plenty of opportunity to find many fish around. You can expect to see lots of wrasses, damsel fish, parrotfish and even shoals of barracuda. Starting from our boat you can swim to the coastline of the bay and enjoy the underwater life at only 2 meters depth.
On a clear day this stunning picturesque bay is our favourite spot at the Isola Bella Marine Park for its natural beauty. This location is a true paradise and is one of the most biodiverse areas of its kind. It certainly attracts lots of interesting marine organisms. Isola Bella South is the perfect shallow snorkel spot with many rocks where you can swim around and enjoy the beautiful underwater gardens. You can even swim to the beach and step on the narrow path that often connects the island to the main beach to relax.
During the main season, snorkelers can enjoy the shallow area inside the buoy lines where the maximum depth is around 4 meters, which feels like you are snorkeling in an aquarium! You can expect to find may colorful fish swimming around the rocks in shallow water. Definitely take your Go Pro with you to get pictures or video, but be aware not to touch any marine life.
Lo snorkeling è un’attività molto popolare e sicura nel Parco Marino dell’Isola Bella.
Durante il nostro tour di mezza giornata in barca, le nostre guide ti spiegheranno tutto: come usare l’attrezzatura, dove nuotare, come muoverti e cosa osservare. È incluso anche un briefing sulla sicurezza.
If you are a diver but your family or friends are not scuba divers, they can join on the same trip to have an enjoyable time together during your holiday. While you are diving, they can snorkel and see you from the surface at the beginning or the end of your dive.
Looking forward to welcome you on board and have a great time together at the Isola Bella Marine Park in Taormina!
