Head offshore from Trapani for an eight-hour dinghy circumnavigation of Favignana and Levanzo — snorkel in turquoise coves, try a convertible SUP, and step ashore to stroll a seaside village. Small groups and multiple swim stops make this a practical, high-value day on the Egadi Islands.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the quay in Trapani into salt-slick air, the dinghy’s low profile cutting the swell as the Egadi Islands grow out of the horizon. Favignana’s scalloped shoreline appears first: pale rock, flashes of turquoise, and the cut faces of old quarries. The boat drops anchor in small coves; the sea dares you to dive in.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The sun is strong on open water; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and apply before boarding.
Wear water shoes
Access to rocky coves and small beaches is easier with grippy water shoes for stepping in and out of the dinghy and on sharp limestone.
Pack motion-sickness remedies
Short navigation legs can still feel bumpy; take preventative medication if you’re prone to seasickness.
Carry a lightweight dry bag
Keep electronics and a spare layer dry during swim stops and while ashore in windy coves.
