Private Gozzo Boat Trip to Polignano a Mare Caves with Apéritif

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us for an exclusive private boat trip aboard a traditional gozzo as we explore the captivating caves of Polignano a Mare from Monopoli! On this private trip, you can fully immerse yourself in the stunning Apulian landscapes and savour a traditional apéritif in a relaxed, intimate setting. Our journey begins with breathtaking views of Polignano a Mare, a cliffside town famous for its sea caves rich in history. The spacious deck and comfortable seating of our private gozzo ensure you enjoy the scenery in style and privacy. As we navigate the coast, you will have the opportunity to see some of the most remarkable caves in the region.

Our first stop will be the renowned Grotta Palazzese, celebrated for its unique restaurant within the cave walls. Next, we will visit Lama Monachile, a natural inlet with a pebble beach, where the annual Red Bull Cliff Diving competition takes place. Continuing our private journey, we head to the Hermit Island, a spiritual and legendary retreat that serves as a nesting site for the majestic Corsican gull. Along the way, you will have the chance to explore the enchanting Lovers Cave, the impressive Ardito Cave, and other hidden gems.

We will also pause for a swim in the sparkling blue waters of Polignano a Mare. Raise a glass of Prosecco as you relax, and enjoy a delicious traditional apéritif while taking in the beauty of this coastal paradise. As our private trip comes to a close, we will make our way back to Monopoli, leaving you with unforgettable memories of an exceptional day at sea.
