Exclusive Boat Trip to discover the Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca and Salento
With the exclusive boat excursion in Santa Maria di Leuca, you will have 4.5 hours at your disposal, enough time to discover both sides without having to choose.
- Adriatic Side:
imposing cliffs and caves carved by the sea, including the Grotta del Soffio, the Grotta della Vora, and the Grotta delle Verduselle, where the light reflects to create unique effects.
- Ionian Side:
gentler rock formations and legendary caves like the Grotta delle Tre Porte and the Grotta del Drago, as well as small hidden inlets perfect for a stop away from everything.
Our skipper will tell you stories, legends, and curiosities about these fascinating places, adding a special touch to the experience.
Swim Stop
With a long excursion, you will have plenty of time to stop in the most beautiful bays, swim among the caves, snorkel among the fish, and even treat yourself to a moment of rest cradled by the waves. You can decide to stop multiple times to dive into the most crystal-clear waters of the area, far from the crowds of tourist boats.
Return to Port
After half a day of sailing, diving, and discovery, the boat will return to the port, crossing once again the splendid bay of Leuca, with its 19th-century villas, the “bagnarole,” and the lighthouse profile towering over the cliff.
