-
Grotta del Soffio - at the Soffio cave it will be possible to take a swim of about 30 minutes to admire the cave up close and immerse yourself inside.
After the swim stop, we set off again towards the west coast - Torre Dell’omomorto - tower dating back to 1500, in the past used to spot the presence of the Saracens
- Punta Ristola - Punta Ristola is the most south-eastern tip of Italy
-
La Grotta delle Tre Porte - Recall the monumental entrance with 3 accesses from which to enjoy the splendid play of light on the blue water. Inside the cave we find a tunnel of about 30 m which takes the name of Grotta ‘del Bambino’, because inside it was found one of the molars of a child of about 10 years dating back to the Neanderthal era.
Here we will stop to take a break for about 30 minutes to swim.
After the swim break, you will visit two other caves and then return to the port.

Extraordinary - Unforgettable experience, we were in 6 people, the boat driver was very friendly and understanding (as I fear to go boating) and avoided the waves as much as possible. The others went swimming near the coast and offered us an aperitif with wine and snacks

Enjoyable trip - Well organised, good communication beforehand and very clean boat with a friendly skipper. Only better signage at the destination meeting point would have been helpful. Food and drinks a welcome bonus.

Wonderful trip with enthusiastic English speaking local guide. - Great experience. Nice boat trip with enthusiastic guide and small party of 10 people on a beautiful boat. The guide spoke English and super enthusiastic and loved a joke. He took all the time. Mood was relaxed. Along the way we got ample time to swim to and in a cave and we even got champagne with some treats super experience. Tip: go in the morning or early afternoon. Then the sun is beautiful on the cliffs and the caves

Special and interesting - Very nice experience, very smart staff, kind, friendly and nice.
He told stories, local legends that aroused curiosity and interest.
He pointed out all the wonderful details that the caves offered including the image impressed by Poseidon on the naturally created rock. Finally after a swim inside the caves, an abundant aperitif and pleasant music all in company.
Quality great price and worth it to deepen and make your holiday special.

A very pleasant tour - We would have liked to see more of the grottos, get closer or see more grottos. But Andrea was very friendly and explained that you can not get within 100 meters.
We were swimming for a while.
