Caves, calm waters and beautiful rocky coast line. Stunning trip, great boat trip and staff very friendly. - Beautiful boat trip around the Adriatic and ionian coasts lines from Santa Maria Di Leuca. We had a beautiful 3 hr trip, calm waters, sunny and mild weather. Its so good to see the coast from the sea. Its a different perspective and you cannot see the caves etc from the land. Water colour was amazing and so clear. Loved it.

Fantastic boat trip best so far in Puglia - We are staying in Gallipoli and decided last minute to book a boat trip from Santa Maria Di Leuca around the caves in the area and chose Leuca Explorer. The trip was fantastic as we travelled around the coast looking al all the caves and grottos. We snorkeled at one of the grottos which was beautiful. Our captain Meno was very informative, funny and obviously loves his job!!! A very skilled boatman and at our last stop to snorkel we actually went right into a cave with him and his flashlight to guide the way…… a highlight of our trip to Puglia so far!!!! We also had lovely aperitifs and procecco at that grotto just to top off the trip. I would highly recommend this company if you want a professional but fun boat trip.

Boat experience with Captain Mino really good - Boat trip with Captain Mino really great! Experience absolutely to do if you are in Santa Maria di Leuca. We explored all the Ionian caves, we stopped for bathing stops with masks provided by them. They also gave us a small aperitif on the boat during the return to the port.

Wish it had been better - I guess you're lucky if you get Mino as a captain. We did not. Our captain did not seem particularly interested in being there and did not share any history or information to us. He perked up during the aperitivo, which was great (the aperitivo). There were no snorkels, only a handful of masks. There was no water to drink. The water was beautiful to swim in. I reached out to Mino and let him know all of this. He was kind to offer to host me again as his guest.
