Cefalù & Monreale: Day Tour from Palermo + Optional Boat Cruise
About this experience
Depart from Palermo for a day tour that combines Sicily’s scenery, heritage, and coastline.
Travel in a comfortable minivan or minibus to Cefalù, a medieval town with narrow streets, sandy beaches, and a bay.
You can choose your activity. The boat trip option lets you take a 3-hour coastal cruise, swim in clear waters, snorkel among fish, and enjoy a chilled aperitivo (if weather permits).
Alternatively, the free time option allows you to roam Cefalù as you like. Visit the Norman Cathedral, a UNESCO Site, or walk around the town's alleys, shops, and beach.
After lunch (not included), head to Monreale to visit its cathedral, known for Arab-Norman art. Use the audio guide to learn about its golden mosaics and history.
Afterwards, return to Palermo.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
