Perfect and relaxing - Really nice experience to discover the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca. Matteo took us to discover these beautiful caves and sea, telling us anecdotes, curiosities, and making us understand how the locals live. He gave us a lot of tips even extra tour, which were greatly appreciated and put into effect immediately! Beautiful bathroom stop at the caves of the three doors! Very available to all our requests. All super positive, I highly recommend it, because it is a different way to experience the sea from the classic beach!

Very nice experience - We were a little surprised at first, because after only 5 to 10 minutes of sailing, we were already in the water. Finally, the rest of the experiment went very well. The skipper was really nice and helped to make the moment relaxed and friendly. The aperitif to the sunset was the icing on the cake: a memorable memory!

To be taken into account - Tour of the caves of the two coasts, Adriatic and Ionian, a must try. Tour made in the afternoon with a stop to dive into a beautiful sea near the caves. Before the return aperitif on the boat with local products seasoned with a view of the horizon of a sunset that takes your breath away and background music put not by chance Congratulations to the Skipper who with sympathy entertains and explains everything there is to see. If you want to avoid a crowded boat this is ideal,8/10 places.
