Favignana boat tours: compare every tour of the Egadi Islands
The best Favignana tour: the mini-cruise
Most visitors book the €42 mini-cruise from Trapani. Why? Because it’s unbeatable value and honest: you’re on a big mixed-group boat (50+ people), lunch is simple pasta cooked on board, and you get maybe 2 hours free in Favignana town and 1 hour off Levanzo. But the boat hits the coves — Cala Rossa, Bue Marino — with swim stops, and you see what the island is actually about. It’s rated 4.2 from 1,757 reviews. Want more time ashore or a smaller group? See the full-day options below.

Book 2–3 days ahead in peak season (Jul–Aug). Boats run daily May through October, but the mini-cruise often fills early. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before means you can lock in a date.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a Favignana boat tour?
The most popular is €42 per person on the big-group mini-cruise. Small-group full days run €89–€105. The Palermo day trip is €45 but includes ~2h coach each way. Private charters start at €1,580 for the whole boat. Read the full cost breakdown.
Should I book the cheapest tour or a better-rated one?
The €42 mini-cruise is unbeatable value and still rated 4.2 from 1,757 guests — but it’s big and busy. The €99 daytour is highest-rated (4.8) with more time for lunch ashore. Compare them above based on group size and price.
Which tour should I pick if I’m visiting Favignana for one day?
The mini-cruise (€42) is the standard choice: ferry from Trapani (30 min), boat tour (8h), back by evening. If you have no car and are in Palermo, the Palermo day trip (€45) picks you up but adds 2h coach each way. From Trapani is faster and cheaper.
Can I visit Favignana without booking a tour?
Yes — take the ferry to the island and rent a bike (most visitors do). But the famous coves — Cala Rossa, Cala Azzurra, Bue Marino — have almost no road access. A boat tour solves that. Read which coves are only reachable by boat.
