Highly recommend it! - We had such a lovely time on this boat tour! The guide was absolutely amazing – super friendly and spoke very good English, which made everything easy and comfortable. The atmosphere on the boat was really nice and relaxed, and to our surprise, he even offered an aperitivo, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. The vibe was just perfect – great music, great company, and beautiful views. There were a few stops along the way where you could swim if you wanted to, and he provided all the equipment, which made it super convenient. The boat felt cozy and welcoming, and overall, it was a really special experience. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a chill and enjoyable time on the water!

The coasts of low Salento from the sea, experience not to be missed! - Everything perfect: the day, the sea, the many beautiful natural cavities, even more interesting thanks to the punctual description of Matteo, skipper, but also friendly passionate and prepared guide. The baths at the caves, the seabed and the beautiful colors. And then that touch of joy and conviviality of the toast / aperitif. Nature, company, the open sea, everything could hold pleasant surprises. It was a perfect outing. Absolutely not to be missed.

Preparation and sympathy - Breathtaking view of the Salento peninsula. Interesting and fun experience: Salento is a magical place made of sun, sea, good air but also a lot of scientific culture (geological, archaeological and botanical). Our guide was nice and prepared, made the trip with strangers a family holiday, uniting everyone with genuine and warm welcome.
