If you want to discover the magnificent south-western coast of Elba, then our boat trip to the Blue Grotto is exactly what you need. Our environmental guide will reveal all the secrets of the island, and we will make numerous stops to swim and snorkel.
We will set sail from Margidore beach and head west, staying close to the coastline to admire the island's landscape. First, we will sail along the Laconian Peninsula and then head towards the Gulf of Marina di Campo. Along the way, we can snorkel near several sea caves, such as the Grotta del Vescovo and the Grotta dell'Acqua. Once we get to the Blue Grotto, you will have the possibility to snorkel even inside the cave: the water there is incredibly transparent and creates beautiful reflections on the rocks.
After admiring this spectacular cave, we will begin our return journey and have a small snack. Our last stop will be the Islet of Corbella, where you can take one last swim before returning to Margidore.

The boat crew were super friendly and helpful. They provided lots of information, and the supervision, including for the children in the water, was excellent. Highly recommended.

We went out with Flávio and Marco today. It was simply fantastic. They're a fantastic team and organized everything perfectly. On the way back, we even had dolphins with us. It was a thoroughly successful trip. Thank you so much.
