Beautiful Boat Tour with Matteo - We had a great boat trip with Matteo today! He brought us to all the different caves around Leuca and told a little story or fact about it. At the last one we could have a little swim and snorkel even though it’s the middle of October… the water was beautiful! Thank you Matteo!!

Breathtaking hike - Wonderful boat excursion to discover the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca. Matteo accompanied us, really nice and helpful, explaining all the curiosities and details of the place. We made two bathing stops: one on the Adriatic and one on the Ionian, both places really breathtaking. The excursion ended with a good glass of prosecco and music to accompany our return to the port. Thanks again to Matteo and Blumarine for the wonderful experience.

Perfect, relaxing, highly recommended - Perfect and highly recommended. Thanks to clear video instructions, it was very easy to find a meeting point. The view of Santa Maria di Leuca and caves from the boat were really amazing. We saw and visited many of the caves. Two stops for swimming were perfect and long enough to explore the caves even closer. Our skipper Mateo was very nice and friendly guy, he does everything to make the experience nice for all of us. And the glass of prosseco, snack and some music was just the best way to end our journey. Thank you Mateo and Blue Marine.

Super experience - A real highlight between the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Captain Mateo is a great guy with humor, a lot of information and ship experience. We really enjoyed it. Also a praise to Barbara for her information on parking and for getting to the boat.
