Polignano a Mare boat tour emotions, caves, diving and appetizers
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Sympathy, staff preparation and hospitality make the tour unique and unforgettable, so much so that it is recognized by several magazines as an experience not to be missed. 90 minutes of excursion where you visit 10km of coast with a visit from the inside to all the sea caves, you can enjoy a swim stop (the place to stop depends on various factors such as sea conditions or maritime traffic) where you can make snorkeling (mask and tube provided by the staff on request). The tour combines historical information and entertaining anecdotes, even in a foreign language (English). Music, if appreciated by all guests, accompanies the fun. There is a sun shade (if required). To seal everything there is a small aperitif with alcoholic and / or non-alcoholic drinks. ATTENTION IF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS DO NOT GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE SAFETY FOR THE COURSE OF THE TOUR, THE SAME CAN BE CANCELED ALSO BEFORE BOARDING, in which case the refund will be made.

5.00Pleasant trip for our family with grottes exploring and swimming in a harbor. The beaches were occupied on Sunday, so we made a decision to swim from a boat :)
Spectacular!

5.00Highly recommended experience! Captain Dorino took us to places that would have been impossible to see on foot! If you are in Polignano a Mare, you absolutely must book this excursion!
An oasis of the day on a sweltering hot day

5.00A great experience to end a good weekend in Puglia; an hour and a half well spent, they show you the caves of the cliffs, explain everything in Spanish, time to refresh in the water, and a farewell prosecco. An unforgettable experience.
So disappointed

1.00Do NOT use Dorino for your boat tour. Go on a boat tour but find another company. Our boat was over capacity and we were pulled over by the police. Dorino did not have his proper papers. So much wasted time with our captain talking to police and waiting outside the police station. I contact the company directly to discuss our experience and I was ignored. Once in a lifetime experience ruined.
Pulled over police and lack of concern for safety

1.00First I I was to say a boat tour in polignano is a must do while visiting. I just wouldn’t use this company again. I want to say I did contact them directly before writing this review to allow them to rectify the situation and I did not receive a response- it’s been over a week. 1. Our tour initially started on time. We left the dock and then our captain was told to come back and pick up two guest who were late. All together this cut into our tour by about 15 minutes. 2. Then we were pulled over by the police for being over capacity. 3. Our captain didn’t have the proper papers and we were held up by this. They allowed us to continue our tour after this delay. 4. We sped through our tour and barely had time for a swim. 5. We had to dock at a gas station for the captain to then run papers into the police. We sat here for another 10 + minutes. With all the delays somehow we still finished our tour in 87 minutes. I’m more disappointed that they did not respond to me personally. This is most likely a once in a lifetime trip for most people. I will likely never get this experience again and it was rushed and there was no concern for this. This company clearly doesn’t care about each individual experience and only care about mass numbers. It’s a bummer I have to write such a negative review but I want to make sure all are aware of this company and avoid it. Do a boat trip in Polignano with another company.
Everything was superb.

5.00This is truly the best way to experience Polignano a Mare! Our guide Nicolas was incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with his great sense of humor. He was fantastic from start to finish. Absolutely worth it!
