Make one with the sea! - Just fantastic. Our teenagers loved it just as much as we did. The views were splendid. The guide, Marco, was friendly and gave us interesting information about the area. The swimming in the cave was an unforgettable moment. I highly recommend this experience. You'll get your money's worth! Smiles guaranteed!

Things to do in Polignano - Before the event, the provider of the event will continue to provide detailed information about the attention and the location of the collection, participants can be confident. After the event, also share photos taken by the event provider with help, avoiding the regret of not being able to take photos with your phone. Very interesting experience, very beautiful views, the whole process was pleasant and smooth.

Amazing and memorable experience with Marco! - This experience was amazing overall and my favorite thing we did while in this region. The parking pin did not lead us directly to the correct parking lot (a large dirt lot just before you hit town), but it all worked out okay in the end as the street parking and walk back to the correct spot was not a problem for us. The guide, Marco, was incredibly welcoming, warm, and made us feel like he was sharing his life's passion with us. The group was 4 boats of 2, which felt like a great size for this activity. Marco was very thorough in showing us the basics to keep us safe and always displayed a calm leadership, while smiling and taking many pictures of all of us. Once we got to the swimming cave, it felt very relaxed and not rushed. We spent more time than I expected there and it was very special.

Breathtaking views! - This trip was absolutely stunning! The views along the coast were gorgeous, the caves were truly magical, and the crystal-clear, cool water made the experience even more refreshing. While the tour is labeled as beginner-friendly, I’d recommend having at least a little kayaking experience. The sea can be rough and the wind strong—our guide, Marco, mentioned that these conditions are typical for the area. So, be ready for a bit of a workout! A few tips: water shoes are a must—the terrain is very rocky, especially when getting in and out of the kayak. Also, keep in mind that not everyone in the group may be experienced, so you might get bumped into a few times. That said, Marco was fantastic! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. All in all, a beautiful, memorable day on the water. Highly recommended if you’re up for a bit of adventure!
