Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between the 90-minute tour and the 3-hour tour?
The 1.5-hour tour focuses on visiting only one side (either Adriatic or Ionian) of your choice, ideal for those wanting a shorter but intense experience. The 3-hour tour, on the other hand, allows you to visit both sides on the same day.
How is the side (Adriatic or Ionian) chosen for the 1.5-hour excursion?
The choice of the side is made daily based on wind and sea conditions to ensure maximum safety and comfort during navigation. However, you can express your preference at the time of boarding.
Does the 90-minute tour include a swimming stop?
Certainly! Even in the short excursion, a swimming stop of about 20-30 minutes is scheduled in one of the most suggestive coves of the chosen side.
Is this tour recommended for those traveling with small children?
Yes, the 90-minute tour is the most suitable choice for families with small children or infants, as the navigation is shorter and less tiring for the little ones.
What will I see during the short excursion in Leuca?
You will see the main sea caves of the chosen side, the Leuca Lighthouse from the sea, Punta Ristola or Punta Meliso, and the famous 19th-century “bagnarole” along the coast.
Where is the meeting point in Santa Maria di Leuca?
The meeting point is at “Bar del Porto” in Via Doppia Croce 63. We ask you to arrive 15-20 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
