Details
If you want an exclusive experience along the Apulian coastline, you cannot miss a private boat trip to the Polignano caves! During the tour, we will explore several sea caves, swim in the turquoise waters, and culminate the experience with a relaxing apéritif aboard.
Polignano's caves have a unique charm, with striking rock formations and plays of light reflecting off the sea. Departing from San Vito, we will visit several caves, including the striking Blue Grotto, Ardito Grotto and the famous PalazzeseGrotto. In the latter, we will stop for a refreshing dip and some snorkeling!
After this stop, we will continue navigating towards Port'Alga Cove. Here we will conclude our tour with a refreshing apéritif on board, consisting of a glass of prosecco served with typical Apulian taralli. After our trip, we will return to the port of San Vito.Highlights

It was a wonderful experience. A sunset cruise with a glass of champagne in hand – simply marvellous. The service was top-notch. We felt well looked after and were given plenty of information about Polignano and its history. The children were delighted. It was the highlight of our stay in Apulia.
