Unforgettable experience !! - This 3 hour boat excursion was truly everything we had hoped for. When planning our trip to Italy, one of the things we wished to do was a boat tour in the south of Italy. We were staying in Puglia and came across this boat trip on TripAdvisor. 3 hours is the perfect amount of time to visit plenty of caves (14!!) in Santa Maria di Leuca (the southernmost part of the heel of the boot of Italy). Flavio, the owner of the boat (who used to work in the navy), was great at making the excursion interesting and educative. We were 7 on the boat, — our family and another couple — which only made the experience more memorable and allowed us to sit at the front of the boat. During the excursion, we jumped off twice to go swim and visit the inside of the beautiful caves, while Flavio waited on the boat with some snacks and wine for us once we returned. Such a memorable 3 hours!

A beautiful day! - It was a great outing. The friendly and competent commander always ready to tell anecdotes and answer our questions. He showed us wonderful caves accessible only by boat and in the crystal clear water we could swim. The tarallucci and the wine offered, were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!

Caves - Unforgettable experience! We took part in this beautiful hike in four girls and we had a lot of fun! The organization was impeccable: the organizer was very kind, welcoming and super helpful. We visited all the caves, each more beautiful than the other, and the explanation we were given was really magnificent — clear, interesting and engaging. We had a great time and would gladly return another time. Highly recommended!

Great trip to the caves - Sublime seats, 12-seater boat about so there is no crowding. Flavio the friendly and very professional captain, provided explanations on the caves and territory. More than welcome the aperitif with wine and tarallini. Anna the owner of the boat is an exceptional organizer, due to winds had to postpone our trip by a few days but in the end we were satisfied. I recommend it.

Wonderful discovery - Experience 3 hours tour to the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca super recommended. Perception already positive from the previous evening, as the owner sent us on whats app all the information necessary to reach the docking point, from the parking lot to the road to get to the boat (which without directions would not have been very fast. Many thanks to her and many thanks also to our commander Flavio who with great passion and professionalism carries out his work, always respecting the safety of people and the sea we sail. I recommend everyone to try at least once. We will definitely return!
