From Trapani: Dinghy Tour to Favignana and Levanzo
A full-day voyage through crystal-clear coves, ancient sea caves, and the unspoilt nature of Sicily's most enchanting islands.
This dinghy tour to Favignana and Levanzo takes you from the port of Trapani into the heart of the Egadi Islands, where turquoise waters and hidden bays reveal a side of the Mediterranean rarely found elsewhere. The experience is designed for those seeking a day of genuine relaxation, natural beauty, and authentic discovery. Rated easy in difficulty, it suits a wide range of travellers looking for a memorable day on the water.
Favignana, the largest of the Egadi Islands, is known across Sicily for its intensely coloured coves and seafloor teeming with marine life. The tour includes dedicated swimming stops at Cala Azzurra, Cala Rossa, and Cala Fredda, each offering distinct character and scenery. A shore stop of approximately one and a half hours allows you to explore the island at your own pace.
Levanzo, the smallest and quietest island in the archipelago, adds a more intimate dimension to the journey. Stops at the Bue Marino Caves, the Lovers' Cave, and the dramatic Faraglioni sea stacks introduce landscapes shaped over millennia by wind and water. The contrast between the two islands makes this tour a genuinely well-rounded introduction to the Egadi.
Throughout the day, a complimentary aperitif of fresh fruit, white wine, beer, soft drinks, and water is served on board, allowing guests to enjoy the scenery in total comfort. The itinerary is adapted in real time by the skipper based on sea and weather conditions, ensuring both safety and the best possible experience.

Itinerary
The tour departs from the port of Trapani and heads southwest into the Egadi Archipelago. The crossing gives guests their first open-sea views of the Sicilian coastline and the islands ahead.
The dinghy reaches Favignana and anchors at Cala Azzurra, famed for its shallow, luminous water. A further stop at Cala Rossa follows, where striking red-tinged limestone cliffs frame one of the island's most photographed bays.
Guests disembark for approximately one and a half hours to walk through Favignana town and its harbour. Additional swimming stops at Cala Dogana, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnola are included before departing for Levanzo.
At Levanzo the dinghy visits the Bue Marino Caves, the Lovers' Cave, and the Faraglioni rock formations. Each site offers roughly 50 minutes for swimming, snorkelling, or simply absorbing the surroundings.
During the afternoon leg, the complimentary aperitif is served as the dinghy makes its way back toward Trapani. The return crossing offers a final opportunity to take in the panoramic views of the Egadi Islands before docking.
