Details
Discover one of the most magical corners of Tuscany with our boat trip to Monte Argentario. Once an island not connected to the mainland, its rocky coast offer some beautiful coves that can only be reached by sea. You have the possibility to swim for about half an hour in each of them, and discover the incredible underwater world of this area with our snorkeling equipment.
This boat trip starts from Porto Santo Stefano or Porto Ercole and heads respectively south or north. If you depart from Porto Santo Stefano, we will first reach the splendid waters of Cala Grande or Cala del Gesso, where you can dive in and snorkel. After this first refreshing stop, our captain will take you to the Acqua Dolce cove and near Isola Rossa, where we will swim between the Mar Morto and Cannelle beaches.
Throughout the day, you can enjoy our open bar service. For lunch, we will serve you a typical fish dish. Our last stop will be the fantastic Cala del Purgatorio, a rocky cove nestled in a picturesque inlet. If you choose Porto Ercole as a starting point, the itinerary will be the same, just in the opposite direction. After spending eight hours at sea, we will return to the port of departure.

- View over the whole Monte Argentario coast

A super fun day.
The captain was kind, patient (I was with a 2-year-old), and a great cook! I absolutely recommend it.
