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.

In addition to the snorkeling equipment there will be SUP boards with which everyone can try their hand and have fun and equipment for the less able to swim.

During the route there will be a detailed description of the places that will be visited, with historical, geographical and local stories.

On the boat, there will be other guests to share experiences and socialize with.

For safety reasons and according to the new legal provisions, the boats will sail parallel to the coast, maintaining a safe distance and without entering the caves. The inside of the caves will still be clearly visible from the boat.

The beautiful hike. Mother nature has allowed the heel of Italy to be one of the most beautiful places ever. The intersection of Ionian and Adriatic is worth experiencing. But in the organization so much to improve. No water. In a three-hour excursion I believe it is mandatory to provide guests with at least 500 cl of water. Instead we were greeted with nearly finished one and a half liter bottles without label. Mah. During the excursion no kind of culinary pampering. Not due but appreciated on other occasions. The offer of aperitif not. Satisfying. Low quality wine and especially warm. You can get a lot better. Music, hiking and sympathy ok. But on the rest we can improve with a little more attention.
Easy recommendation

A great experience. The boat was really nice and comfortable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to jump between English and Italian to explain all the sites. A great day out and would highly recommend
