For over 13 years with excursions, boat trips, visits to caves, the coast and the marine territory we are happy to make our customers live real "experiences" in Santa Maria di Leuca and Salento.
We will visit both seas, both Adriatic and Lonio.

5.00We were very satisfied with everything. Mino also informed us very well about the wind and sea. He took us to the most beautiful caves and to uncrowded places for swimming. In the end, there was also something to snack on and to drink.

5.00Had such a fun afternoon with my family - the guide was so friendly and entertaining and we loved diving off the boat and swimming in the caves - just a shame no time to do it again.

An experience made even more special by the guidance of a true sea wolf, who conveys all his passion and dedication for the sea and the territory.
