A very nice way to get to know the best beaches of Palinuro by boat. - The tour was very good, and the guide's explanations were very good. The tour includes a snack with olives, snacks and a delicious prosecco.

Great tour - Outstanding tour: the various coves we visited were stunning and the two swimming breaks very enjoyable. The operator Antonio was knowledgeable and very friendly. I went with my daughter but next year I will go back with my wife.

Fantastic boat trip! - This boat trip was one of the highlights of our holiday. Antonio was very informative and he showed us all the sights along the coast including the blue grotto and many sea caves and rock formations. We also got to swim and we visited one of Italy's top ten beaches which can only be reached by boat. Antonio was very kind and friendly and communication by Whatsapp was easy. Thank you for a great trip!

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.
