Egadi Shuttle Tour
Appreciated for:
- Total autonomy
- Duration of stops on land
- Less time on the boat
- Personalization
Do you want to visit Favignana and Levanzo, but you don’t like organized tours and the “all-inclusive” formula, convenient in many ways but too binding for you and your free spirit? The Favignana and Levanzo Shuttle Tour is the only boat tour that offers the possibility to manage independently – and at best – the free time available on the two islands.
Departure from Trapani at 10:00 am. Arrival on Favignana Island and four-hour stop-off of free time to visit the Island in complete autonomy and freedom. Departure towards Levanzo with a panoramic view of the coast reaching the famous Faraglione (sea stack). Stop for swimming in one of its beautiful creeks. One-hour stop-off of free time to visit the characteristic village. Possible transfer of passengers in Favignana. Return to Trapani around 6:30 pm.

FAQ
Is Lunch Included?
You will surely have noticed that the program does not include lunch on board. In fact, you will be back on board at 3:00 pm, and it is assumed that you have already satisfied your appetite!
The four-hour stop-off on the Island and the absence of a “standard lunch” (which tries to satisfy all palates) leave the freedom to choose according to one’s tastes, personal needs, and everyone’s pockets!
You can choose the practical island bakery, with its “cunzato” bread, the typical arancine, bread with panelle, focaccia or Sicilian pizza …. or the romantic local restaurant with its menu based on fresh fish. And for those who are adventurous and independent? Well, not even to say: backpacking and packed lunch immersed in nature, between sun and sea!
What happens if I am late?
Maximum punctuality is recommended, and it is advisable to show up for boarding at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time: 10:00 am.
The timetables in the itinerary section are indicative and may be subject to variations.
The exact time of return on board is communicated – several times – via the intercom during the excursion.
It is not possible to wait for late guests. In that case, the latecomer will have to organize his return to Trapani independently and at his own expense. (At least once a month … Make sure it’s not you !!!)
