Worthwhile boat excursion - Our boat trip was with my adult children, sisters and their spouses. It was both relaxing and exhilarating. The color of the water in the grotto and the surrounding area is an amazing shade of blue that can’t really be seen until you are on top of it. The cliffs and rock formations must be viewed from the water to comprehend the height and mass. Our boat captain was well versed in the history of the area and a competent, cautious boat driver. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with him.

Guide was speaking good italian and english.
We explored 1 cave from inside and 2 small from outside, had 2 stops for swimming, one of the natural beaches that you can reach only by boat, one the best I have ever been to

Great experience - From start to finish a great experience. Antonio speaks very well English and contacted us the night before with instructions on parking.
The tour itself and the boat were very nice and Antonio was very knowledgeable. We had two swimming opportunities and drove into one of the cave. The icing on the cake was processor and Antonio’s home grown olives.
He also gave us great recommendations for the area around.
So would definitely recommend a tour with Antonio.

Wonderful! - Two and a half hours spent in the best way! Sea, sun, boat and great company .. you could not ask for better. Thanks to Antonio we have known what is the history of the coast of Capo Palinuro, which has explained in the best way every single stretch. Needless to say, the pool in comparison is nothing! A true spectacle of nature!

A great way to discover the Palinuro coast! - Excursion absolutely recommended. The places visited are spectacular, time is given to swim, the boat is beautiful, it is not the usual tourist boats overflowing with people. Congratulations also to Antonio, the Owner, for his kindness and courtesy. He knows the coast very well and from a lot of information.
Great tour!
