4.00Great hosts, great weather, swimming was fantastic. We traveled during a very hot spell in Italy. We thought this would be a great was to get on the water and see some caves. The caves were underwhelming.

5.00Very good experience on boat to Polignano Mare from Monopoli. On time , good boat kindly crew . We recommend bring a short security briefing before the tour (life jacket, signals, etc.) To improve the experience, they should offer bottles of cold water during the round trip. The prosecco is a nice touch, but a little colder would be great. They should also inform passengers of a specific time to take a swim at the spot, maybe 10 or 15 minutes. The crew member gave us very good information about the caves and other interesting places.
Very average

3.00My word for this experience is 'meh'. The coastline is fairly industrial and the highlight pf the caves was that you could make out animal shapes in the roof! The beach at Polignano was off in the distance and very crowded. We did get to swim for 10 minutes in the open water which was nice!
No Shade

2.00Unfortunately it was a very hot day and when the boat arrived there was absolutely no shade at all. We were going on a 2 hour boat trip so we did not go and forfeited the cost. We found another boat instead with lots of shade. Should be made clear on details NO SHADE
Highly recommended Boat Tour

5.00The boat tour was exactly as we expected. A nice ride out to Polignano and then a tour of the caves and cliffs . There was an opportunity to jump out of the boat and swim in the cool, clear water.The guide was friendly and helpful, explained what we were looking at and answered questions. We enjoyed the tour and were glad we did it.

5.00We had a wonderful time seeing the caves and swimming in the water. Giada and Vincenzo were great hosts and the apertif was a nice addition. It’s a great way to see the coastline and see the busy tourist beaches without having to go. Definitely a Must-see while visiting Puglia. The hosts are great at communicating and flexible with accommodations.
Great boat trip with Prosecco
