Itinerary
We will leave from the port of Palinuro, a unique port of its kind as it is only partially closed; this allows you to have clear and crystalline waters.
The central beach of Capo Palinuro. One of the most fascinating of the whole coast!
Beach that hosted the Club Med around the 80s. It owes its name to the natural pools which in the past were used to obtain salt to bring to the entire population.
Thanks to the underwater tunnel inside the cave it will be possible to witness a unique play of colors in the world!
If we calculate the meters above sea level it is the tallest lighthouse in the world; positioned overhanging a breathtaking scenery.
In this stretch of coast we will find several watchtowers from the Bourbon era, the sulphurous cave and the architiello. Called cala Fetente due to the strong presence of sulfur which determines a characteristic smell and multiple benefits for your skin. Here we will stop for a swim.
In addition to the Blue Grotto, along our journey we will visit the Sulphurous Grotto, the Rondini Grotto, the Bone Grotto, the Rabbit stack and the Salvation stack.
One of the most beautiful beaches in Italy according to Legambiente and the Touring Club. Stopping in this corner of paradise is a must. Bring your mask and fins!
A natural oasis immersed in the Cilento flora. One of the symbols of our coast!
This beach owes its name to the cliff that overlooks it. Spot appreciated worldwide for climbing lovers.
Born thanks to the erosion of the wind and rain on the rock face. This is the manifesto of the wonder that nature can offer us!

Antonio is a true professional. He explained the history and myths of Palinuro. The boat has a gorgeous wooden deck and there is plenty of shade. We made two swimming stops. He offered us drinks including prosecco, water or juice. He also had olives and taralli for snacks. There were 15 people on the excursion and it was great to meet other people. My husband and I loved this excursion. Thank you Antonio!
The tour is a great classic of the Palinuro coast, there are several organized excursions, but I must say that this one was magnificent, thanks to the ship captain Antonio, who was super courteous and very good at explaining things; the boat was not big but very comfortable, we lay down at the bow with cushions more comfortable than at home, it was heavenly... during the swim stop at the Baia del Buon Dormire he offered us a glass of prosecco. Wonderful trip
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Antonio and the experience I had on his boat. First of all Palinuro is one of the most beautiful places I have been to in Italy! Secondly, Antonio went out of his way to make everyone comfortable and an important part of the tour. He is very knowledgable about the area and the history of the places we visited! It is clear he has a passion for what he does and where he lives. I can really appreciate that, as I have fallen in love with Palinuro myself! The color of the water here is so special and the caves and rock formations are beyond description. It was such a magical experience I went on the same tour the next day!! This time without taking photos and just taking it all in. Grazie mille, Antonio! I look forward to returning to Palinuro and your amazing tour!
Wonderful experience Antonio super commander and has been able to transmit all his passion for the Cilento coast Thank you.
Every time I return to Palinuro, one of the experiences I absolutely cannot miss is the boat ride with Cilento Coast Company. It has become a tradition: every summer I choose to do it again because it always manages to surprise me like the first time. The tour is simply spectacular: you will explore hidden coves, wonderful caves and stretches of coastline that from land you can not even imagine. The sea has incredible colors and every stop is an invitation to dive in and enjoy the beauty of Cilento. But what really makes this experience special is Antonio’s passion and energy. It is engaging and conveys an authentic love for the territory, making each outing unique and memorable. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience Palinuro differently: it is not just a boat ride, it is an exciting journey between nature, sea and pure beauty. And for me, it's a fixture every time I come back.
Wow - fantastic experience. Antonio was a wonderful tour guide drawing from generations of experience living in this area. I was overwhelmed by how sensational this experience was.
An unforgettable experience. We took part in a boat tour in Palinuro that took us to discover wonderful places: the Blue Grotto, the Cala Fetente, the majestic stacks, the Natural Window and the suggestive Pirate Cave. We dived into the crystal clear waters of Cala Fetente and Baia del Buon Dormire, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. During the navigation, we passed the Marinella Beach, framed by rocks and Mediterranean vegetation. Antonio, our guide, told us with passion the story of Palinuro and Aeneas, speaking to us in both Spanish and English with great sympathy and professionalism. On top of that, he offered us a bottle of Prosecco, taralli and green olives from the region: a generous gesture that made the tour even more special. Antonio is a real champion! Thank you for giving us such an authentic and beautiful moment
What an amazing experience. The owner was super friendly, gave a very good explanation. There were 2 stops to swim extensively from on a beautiful boat in sublime locations. The experience was super well taken care of with a drink and a snack. Highly recommended.
Super friendly skipper...top experience. 100% recommended. Good guidance and clear explanation in perfect English
All in all a successful trip. We learned a little bit about the area and the caves. Friendly guide, great sea.
