Arrival & Departure Transfers

Arrivals

We offer a free shuttle service from Palermo (PMO) airport on our start date at 2:30 PM. We strongly urge guests to fly into Rome the day before we start. Flights between Rome and Palermo are very frequent and inexpensive.

From the airport, we will shuttle you to the Trapani Hydrofoil Port, where you will be taken to Favignana Island, then bring you to Nido Del Pellegrino.

Departures

On the final day, we will be in Marsala. We will arrange shuttles to the airport in Palermo based on group departure times.

If you would like to sleep in and depart at a later time, we can generally arrange it so long as we know in advance. Transportation in this case will be at your own expense. If you make this choice, you will be on your own for transportation, but options are available in Marsala.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation Policy as of 2021:
  • Deposits are refundable within 50 days of booking, so long as they are made more than 180 days before the start date of the tour.
  • After 50 days, deposits are no longer refundable. However, if you find someone to take your space, your deposit may be applied to them.
  • All further scheduled payments are non-refundable once they are made. If we sell out the tour (including reserve spaces not shown on the website) we can move your full payment to another tour within 12 months.

The nonrefundable portions of payments are due to the fact that we are contractually responsible to pay those amounts for you at those times, even if you cancel. Therefore, we strongly urge all guests to obtain travel insurance as soon as possible after booking. Please click here to read about the importance of obtaining travel insurance
