Boat tour discovering the most beautiful Karst Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca
With Barca del Porto, you’ll cruise along the stunning coastline of Santa Maria di Leuca, discovering ancient sea caves, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters that are impossible to appreciate from land. On board our comfortable boats, accompanied by experienced skippers who know every corner of the coastline, each excursion offers something unique—from the sunlight filtering through the spectacular Three Doors Cave (Grotta delle Tre Porte) to the deep blue waters beneath the dramatic cliffs of the Ionian coast.
We offer 1.5-hour sea cave tours along a single coastline, 3-hour excursions for those who want to explore both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, sunset boat tours with an onboard aperitif, private boat charters lasting 2, 3, 4.5, or up to 6 hours for a full-day experience, as well as combined packages including a traditional Salento lunch or dinner. Whether you have just a little time or want to spend an entire day at sea, there’s a tour designed just for you.
