Spend a full day skimming the Egadi islands by rubber dinghy, stopping at Cala Rossa, historic Favignana town and the Faraglioni of Levanzo. Expect clear snorkeling, short boat hops and a culture shaped by tuna fishing and cave art.

The dinghy noses out of port and the sea opens like a living map — blue that deepens into channels and brightens against calcarenite cliffs. Spray teases your face as the skipper noses into caves and peels off swift stops: a morning swim in Cala Rossa, a low-arched grotto carved by waves, lunch ashore in Favignana’s fishermen quarter, then the sculpted Faraglioni and quiet coves of Levanzo.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply and reapply reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding; the sun reflects strongly off water and rock.
Bring water shoes
Rocky shore entries and shallow reefs make reef or water shoes useful for getting in and out comfortably.
Carry small cash
Many island restaurants and vendors prefer cash for quick lunches and purchases ashore.
Prepare for seasickness
If you are prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication before boarding — open decks help but choppy conditions can occur.
Swimwear and quick‑dry layers
Quick‑dry clothing and a swimsuit make repeated swims and sun exposure comfortable.
