Egadi Islands Boat Tour Favignana & Levanzo with Lunch from Trapani

Two Islands, One Boat, Eight Hours of Coves and Lunch at Sea

You board a 24-seat boat at Trapani and spend eight hours moving between five coves on Favignana and Levanzo, swimming and snorkeling at each stop. Lunch (two pastas, bread, fruit and wine) is served on board while moored at Favignana. An aperitif break happens mid-morning, and a final drink and fruit plate comes around before the return journey. Snorkeling gear is provided, and you get an hour to walk around Favignana's village. The boat returns to Trapani in the late afternoon.

The experience

The boat rocks gently against the dock at Trapani port. Thirty minutes later, you're anchored off Cala Azzurra, staring at water so clear you can count the rocks on the bottom. This is how the Egadi Islands boat tour works: you don't choose between Favignana and Levanzo, you see both. The 24-seat boat leaves Trapani in the morning and doesn't return until late afternoon, stopping at five named coves across two islands, with lunch served on board and snorkeling gear ready whenever you want it.

The morning moves between Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino (a sea cave named after the monk seals that once sheltered there), and Cala Rossa, where red limestone cliffs drop straight into turquoise water and the rocks still bear marks from ancient Roman quarries. An aperitif break happens mid-morning: Prosecco, Aperol Spritz or Campari Spritz, with peanuts and local snacks, while the skipper points out the smaller islands and tells you which ones are protected. Then comes the Grotto of Lovers, a cave with formations that supposedly look like two people embracing if you angle your head right. You swim in and out of it. After that, lunch arrives on the boat while you're moored at Favignana's port: two pastas (one with Trapani pesto made from almonds and red garlic, one with basil), cunzato bread, fresh fruit, wine, and water. You get an hour on the island itself to walk the old town, buy something from a craft shop, taste local products.

The afternoon takes you to Levanzo, the smaller and quieter of the two. Cala Dogana is the main port, where you see fishermen and sailboats and the white houses of the village clustered above. Then Cala Fredda, a small beach tucked between limestone cliffs where the water is calm enough for snorkeling and where freshwater springs still flow into the sea: they've been there for centuries, a landmark for sailors. The last stop is Cala Minnula, a pebble beach with a history: Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans all anchored here. The seabed is lively enough to make snorkeling worth it. Before the return to Trapani, fresh seasonal fruit and a glass of cantaloupe liqueur come around on deck.

The whole day is eight hours. Snorkeling equipment is included, so you don't rent it separately. The boat has a restroom on board. Groups stay under 24 people, which means it doesn't feel crowded even when it's full. If you're traveling with kids, they sit on a lap until they're old enough to have their own seat. The tour runs from a public port with nearby transportation options, so getting there without a car is possible.
