Do not miss the opportunity to explore the wonderful caves of Salento with our boat trip. According to your preferences, you will be able to choose between a shorter trip or a longer one - either way, you can take the chance to swim and dive in the waters of this beautiful area and learn about the marine life that populates the seabed of Puglia.
Departing from Castro, we will visit the stunning cave area, exploring the enchanting Innamorati, Twins, Palombara, and Blue Caves. These caves, nestled along the Adriatic coastline, showcase the region's natural beauty and geological wonders. We will have a swimming break at Zinzulusa Cave, one of the most significant karst formations in the area.
If you choose the longer option, we will reach Porto Miggiano Bay, a picturesque spot perfect for a refreshing swim. The bay is known for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs, creating a stunning natural setting. After our swimming stop, we will continue to Santa Cesarea Terme, a charming town renowned for its thermal baths and Moorish architecture. Before returning, we will have another swimming stop in the bay in front of Castro Harbor.

A lovely three-hour tour with Giuseppe, a very kind and friendly man. He shared so much local history with us, full of details and interesting facts. The aperitif on board was definitely above average. Two long swimming stops in the perfect spots to fully enjoy the beautiful waters of the rocky coast. Highly recommended!
The two-hour boat ride was enjoyable. The only problem was finding parking, so much so that one of us, even though we'd paid for the ride, couldn't park. Better organization is needed during peak times.
