Details
Surrounded by the beauty of Salento's crystal-clear waters and aboard a luxury catamaran, you will experience Puglia as you never imagined! During this boat trip from Torre Vado to the Cave of the Mannute, we will visit the most beautiful caves on the Ionian coast. You will also have two 25-minute stops for diving and snorkeling.
We will navigate along the famous San Gregorio marina, whose rocky seabed will make anyone fall in love with it. Accompanied by our friendly skipper, who won't miss the opportunity to tell you all the interesting facts about the area, we will spot the Grotta del Drago and Degli Innamorati. As we head south, we pass the enchanting Bay of the Sirens, just before reaching Santa Maria di Leuca. This characteristic Apulian town is a unique sight when viewed from the water!
Having passed the southernmost point of Apulia, we climb up Italy's heel. The Grotta del Soffio will leave you open-mouthed thanks to the magical play of light that is created inside. You will not be disappointed by the impressive Grotta delle Mannute and its circular cavities, and after enjoying an aperitif on board with fresh seasonal fruit and a glass of prosecco or wine, we will return to the port of departure.
