1 Hour and a Half Panoramic Tour of Polignano a Mare by Boat
Description
Wonderful caves and suggestive coves where the sea crashes with the music of its waves. The coast of Polignano a Mare is made to be discovered by boat! The panorama that can be admired from the sea is truly unique and enchanting.

Swallows Cave. One of the best-known and largest caves on the northern coast, easily accessible from the rear as well as from the sea, is the Grotta delle Rondinelle. According to popular belief, the name derives from the fact that, in the past, a swallow built its nest there every year. Much visited and photographed, it is also renowned for diving both from the top of the ceiling and from the sheer walls.

Cave of Lovers. Small and suggestive, the Grotta degli Innamorati takes its name from the intimacy it offers to those who want to escape the gaze of the numerous bathers. Reachable only by swimming, it is characterized by a very low entrance above sea level, below a very high and compact cliff.
During the tour there is a stop for a nice swim. Dive into the crystal clear sea and enjoy a moment of complete relaxation! The play of light and the enchanting atmosphere of the caves are an experience you will never forget! To make this moment truly perfect, you can enjoy a typical Apulian aperitif with our taralli accompanied by fresh prosecco.

Beautiful places, friendly and courteous people, many things to see and do. Inevitable boat trip to see the caves, we happened to skipper Vincenzo, nothing short of amazing.
The fabulous crew: Both very attentive to their passengers, top captain who played with great skill with the waves due to a strong wind during our outing, guided tour of the caves which was both informative and entertaining... Very joyful and enjoyable ride several stops (photos, swimming, laughter & Prosecco for the older ones and sodas for the younger ones) Topissime
We were excited to be able to do a boat ride and see the caves, however our experience with the staff was extremely disappointing. We had originally booked a private tour but the day prior, we decided to also do a group tour for that day. Immediately after disembarking from the boat on the day we did the group tour, one of the staff members demanded a 200€ deposit from us for our private tour the following day. Previously we had been told that the entire payment would me made on the day of the tour. We told him that we did not have that kind of cash on us and he told us to use the ATM they have at the marina, but we explained we could not do that due to the foreign transaction fees. We walked away and the man came after us when we were waiting for our ride to pick us up. He continued to engage with us, stating that he did not believe we were coming back tomorrow and he had other people wanting to take a ride at the same time. We were a group of 3 young women and felt extremely uncomfortable by how we were treated, as he kept insisting that we give him the money. Additionally, on the day we had the group tour we booked for 5 PM on TripAdvisor but when we arrived were told that there was no one to take us and we would have to wait until 6 PM. So we had to wait around at the marina for one hour which was outside of the city center without anything to do. The lack of professionalism was appalling with this company. Overall, the boat ride was nice but the staff was very rude.
Very kind, with regard to what you have reported, I would like to point out that, although it is your right to book when it is most convenient for you, it is our right to ask for an advance for reservations (especially for exclusive ones). You will understand well that the tourism sector has a high flow of visitors and therefore it is more than logical to ask our customers for an advance both to guarantee their reservation and to guarantee us the certainty of an orderly, safe and peaceful work. As for the time change, we apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately it did not depend on us, but on the maritime conditions and the wait, to which it refers, was spent in one of the refreshment points present, sheltered from the sun and from the heat. Thanking you again for choosing us, Best regards
Great experience! We were very well received at first. The staff on the boat were great, especially Antonio! We got to know the history of the caves and the village of Polignano a Mare, all in music and with a superb Mood. We bathed in a beautiful cave. Then we were able to drink a good glass of prosceco and eat tarallis on the boat while still enjoying a swim in transparent water. I recommend! PS: plan to arrive early to find a parking space.
Merci d’avoir choisi Apexpress, j’espère vous revoir, bon été.
It's boat tour unexpectedly became the highlight of our trip. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We all left with smiles on our faces.
