Unforgettable boat tour - We had a wonderful time on this boat excursion. The skipper was incredibly friendly, funny, and attentive to all the guests. I initially thought three hours might be too long, but it turned out to be just perfect—we really enjoyed the stunning coastal scenery and the caves. I really recommend!!!

Just incredible! - You can not go to Leuca and not take a boat ride in the company of Gaetano and Valentino. Two commanders who will welcome you with kindness and a smile. They will guide you along the wonderful Salento coast full of caves and fabulous water. Not only that! You can enjoy a typical Apulian snack and a good glass of prosecco on board. All this thanks to Anna who was helpful and very kind in responding to all our requests. Don’t miss this fabulous experience 🥰

Wonderful Experience!!! - The meeting with the boat was a bit complicated because we did not understand, but the boat was fantastic and the best was Flavio, its captain!!!! He told us the whole story of Leuca, explained each grotto and even more, threw himself in the water to help the couple of friends enter a cave. We sang and drank a delicious wine!!

Wonderful coastal tour of caves - Thoroughly enjoyable trip - 3 hours passed very quickly. We were in very capable hands and we learnt lots about the coastline. We enjoyed the stops for swimming and the aperitif was much appreciated before our return to port. Would thoroughly recommend this trip. Anna was very helpful with booking information, where to park and meet for the tour

An unforgettable experience - Excellent! Super recommended. The visit to the caves and caves is beautiful. And with a bonus it was Flavio who explained everything and even everything we asked him. We stopped swimming three times and got into the caves (we even walked inside one). Beautiful! It's worth it!

Swimming and aperitif tour - I contacted Anna the same afternoon of the excursion, she replied very quickly that it was possible to do the excursion from 4pm to 7pm. She also delayed the Check-out by a quarter of an hour so we could participate! The excursion was very nice with our Guide who gave us explanations in Italian, English and Spanish. We were able to swim in a cave among the 14 we saw without being able to get close, and at the end of the excursion he offered us an aperitif further in the sea, it was very friendly! I would recommend Leuca Marine for their sympathy!
