A nice day trip

Rob_D, Sep 2023

It was fun, but not spectacular. The crew did a pretty good job. After the third or fourth grotto, I was done.

This boat trip is a must

Katherine_D, Aug 2021

Exactly as described - a lovely 4-hour boat trip to the tip of the heel of the boot and beyond. There were two stops to swim. The first included guided tips into the famous caves (grottos) and at the end of the second included appertivo. I was the only (mostly) English speaking person on the boat and one of the hosts took the time to translate and explain the history of the coastline that he had shared in Italian. Great value and great experience.

Une super balade avec un...

Une super balade avec un personnel de bord très sympa et une bonne ambiance. Une bonne baignade dans les eaux turquoises de la mer ionienne en prime. Je recommande !

Sehr schöne Bootstour

Sandra_S, Jul 2021

Eine sehr schöne Bootsrour rund um die Punta Ristola mit ihren atemberaubenden Höhlen und Buchten. Die Jungs auf dem Schiff sind wirklich lustig und nett und die Stimmung auf dem Boot war sehr gut. Das Schwimmen durch eine Höhle war ein Highlight! Die anschliessende Rückfahrt bei Sonnenuntergang (die Tour konnte wegen des Wetters erst um 16.00 starten) war wunderschön! Ich würde die Tour auf jeden Fall nochmals buchen!
