These three Trapani tours all head to Favignana and Levanzo, but they differ in style: one is a small-group hybrid boat outing, one is a larger shared boat day with tasting, and one is a private sailboat trip. The right choice depends on whether you want a shared excursion, a more exclusive boat day, or a private sailing format.

Shared boat day with included gear
Exclusive Favignana Levanzo tour with tasting
Best for: Travelers who want a social boat day with snorkeling gear included and a more exclusive-feeling setup
This boat tour also visits Favignana and Levanzo, but the format feels different from a small-group excursion. The description emphasizes larger modern boats, a full day on the water, and a more exclusive atmosphere. The route includes swimming stops at several coves, plus time in Favignana and Levanzo ports for exploring local streets and, where desired, arranging lunch independently. Confirmed inclusions are bottled water, soft drinks, and snorkeling equipment. Lunch is not included. It suits travelers who want an organized shared outing with a little more onboard comfort and flexibility.
A longer shared day with beach stops and island time
- Snorkeling equipment is included

- Suitable for travelers who want a shared day without a private booking
Private sailing day
Private Sail Boat Tour to Favignana and Levanzo from Trapani
Best for: Travelers who want a private sailing experience with onboard comfort and a more flexible feel
This is the most private of the three options and uses a sailboat rather than a hybrid or large shared boat. The route still focuses on Favignana and Levanzo, with swim and snorkeling stops at places such as Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino, Cala Rossa, Cala Fredda, and Cala Minnola, plus time in Favignana town. Because it is a private tour, it is a better fit for travelers who want a quieter day and more room to relax. Confirmed inclusions cover bottled water, wine, soft drinks, snorkeling equipment, restroom access, and all fees and taxes. Private parking inside the marina is excluded.

How to choose a Trapani island itinerary
If you want a social day with a set group size, the small-group hybrid tour is the most compact shared option. If you prefer more privacy and onboard comfort, the private sailboat tour is the clearest fit, while the larger shared boat sits between the two.

A small-group route with swimming, snorkeling, and a short town visit in Favignana.
Favignana and Levanzo with tasting
A full-day shared boat route with multiple swim stops and port time on both islands.
Private sail boat to Favignana and Levanzo

Trapani booking checklist

Before booking a Trapani tour
Which tour is best if I want a private experience?
The private sailboat tour is the only one of the three that is explicitly private, so it fits travelers who want more space and a quieter day.
Which option includes snorkeling equipment?
The exclusive shared tour and the private sailboat tour include snorkeling equipment. The small-group hybrid tour does not include it, although you may bring your own or buy it on site.
Which tour is the most suitable for someone who wants free time on land?
The small-group hybrid tour clearly notes free time in Favignana town, and the other two also include time in island ports, so choose based on whether you want a smaller group or a private boat as well.
