Details

Discover all the wonders of the "heel of Italy" with our boat trip to the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca. We will see all the grottos of this wonderful coastline, navigating both the Ionian and the Adriatic Sea.

We will first head east and reach the exact point where the two seas meet. Here we will find the first grotto already, the Devil's Cave, where archaeological finds dating back to the Neolithic period have been discovered. We will visit all the nooks and crannies of the Ionian coast, including the beautiful Grotta delle Tre Porte, characterized by three large semicircular arches. Our last stop on the Ionian side will be the Grotta degli Innamorati and the Grotta del Drago, where you can snorkel accompanied by our local guide.

After exploring the Ionian Sea, we will return towards Leuca and continue towards the Adriatic, which is equally rich in caves. We will admire the beautiful Grotta della Vora and the Mannute caves, located 20-30 metres above sea level. We will then dive into the incredible Grotta del Soffio, so-called because it creates frequent water sprays. After exploring all the caves of this beautiful stretch of coastline, we will return to Santa Maria di Leuca.

Rocco, was amazing he was superb at explaining the difference between the Adriatic and Ionian seas. The caves were superb in their beauty and splendor, he explained their meanings and and why they are named ex. "Two black eyes" as well as why fisherman woukd go into certain caves to get out of the blaring sun. My son and I took the 1330 time frame, we were able to film and use videoography to capture the great beauty of Southern Italy, Marina Di Leuca is a great place to photography the buildings and dwellings many seemed uninhabited. I would recommend Rocco's excursion over a larger boat, the larger ones cannot get into the caves, Rocco was very pleasant uses Italian and English and answers questions you have. The cost is very reasonable for the time he takes you out. Bring water, Sunscreen, a head covering and food/snacks as they are not provided. I would encourage anyone to see what we did, we felt very safe and blessed to take in such divine, and beyond gorgeous scenery. Molto Bellesimo Grazie Mille, Rocco
