Highlights
- Polignano a Mare - Swallows Cave. One of the best-known and largest caves on the northern coast, easily accessible from the rear as well as from the sea, is the Grotta delle Rondinelle.

A maritime trip to discover the best-kept beauties of Polignano à mare - The fabulous crew: Both very attentive to their passengers, top captain who played with great skill with the waves due to a strong wind during our outing, guided tour of the caves which was both informative and entertaining... Very joyful and enjoyable ride several stops (photos, swimming, laughter & Prosecco for the older ones and sodas for the younger ones) Topissime

A Must To Do - It's boat tour unexpectedly became the highlight of our trip. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We all left with smiles on our faces.

Would not recommend - We were excited to be able to do a boat ride and see the caves, however our experience with the staff was extremely disappointing. We had originally booked a private tour but the day prior, we decided to also do a group tour for that day. Immediately after disembarking from the boat on the day we did the group tour, one of the staff members demanded a 200€ deposit from us for our private tour the following day. Previously we had been told that the entire payment would me made on the day of the tour. We told him that we did not have that kind of cash on us and he told us to use the ATM they have at the marina, but we explained we could not do that due to the foreign transaction fees. We walked away and the man came after us when we were waiting for our ride to pick us up. He continued to engage with us, stating that he did not believe we were coming back tomorrow and he had other people wanting to take a ride at the same time. We were a group of 3 young women and felt extremely uncomfortable by how we were treated, as he kept insisting that we give him the money. Additionally, on the day we had the group tour we booked for 5 PM on TripAdvisor but when we arrived were told that there was no one to take us and we would have to wait until 6 PM. So we had to wait around at the marina for one hour which was outside of the city center without anything to do. The lack of professionalism was appalling with this company. Overall, the boat ride was nice but the staff was very rude.
