Love Puglia ❤️ - Polignano was first stop! It's a beautiful town with famous ice cream shop, view of the sea is fantastic, and very entertaining walk through the historical old town u will not forget! Alberobello is soo much worth to visit and take pano pictures,! There are many breath taking views from the roofs of the Trulli houses , and it's history as a unesco heritage is impressive!

Boat tour 🔝 - Fantastic experience. It was given to me by my girlfriend and I must say that better thought I could not ask for. Boat tour captained by the fantastic sea wolf GIUSEPPE who thanks to his experience and friendliness was able to entertain and interest. The places visited are breathtaking and the two bathroom stops super, when we did the tour there was slightly rough sea and thanks to Giuseppe's experience we found an alternative place to stop for the first stop. Recommendation really very much

Fantastic experience - Reservation made online very simple and fast. Excellent organization and the staff is always available by email or call for any doubt or information. We had the pleasure of being guided by Giuseppe, very nice and full of experience and passion, who showed us in explaining the various caves and landscapes we met, surely it was also him who made us this magnificent experience!

Super consigliato! - Great boat tour of the Adriatic and Ionian coast. Two bathroom stops, one at the cave of the Breath and another near the cave of the Three Doors. Detailed explanation of all the caves of the two coasts. Drinks/beer and taralli included in the price. Friendly and welcoming staff. Point in favor, small boat for up to 12 people that made the tour more relaxing.

Excursion to admire the caves by boat - We had a great afternoon and recommend this activity. Awards are rather affordable (€20 per person). You are going on a boat trip with a Guide and another group/family. So there are few people and it is very pleasant. You will therefore go around the end of Italy and be able to admire all the caves. Two moments from the walk you can go swimming for about 20 minutes and the Guide will also offer you drinks as well as traditional Puglia cookies. If you want to admire the fish and the seabed, the boat also has masks and diving goggles. The 3 hours are very pleasant and pass rather quickly, not too much blah-blah but explanations and interesting information about the natural heritage of Puglia. Very good value for money - Award . I strongly recommend this outing!
