The caves were good and glad we did the boat trip. Our driver was not as lively as some of the others we observed. Keep in mind, you don’t swim in the caves- if you want to swim, they stop at the end near the marina. If nobody swims, you just hangout there doing nothing. Odd. You have a tiny cup of Prosecco and a Puglian cracker for “aperitif”

Absolutely must do
Excellent value for money, spectacular tour. We encountered rough seas but Pasquale, the guide, handled both the morale and the boat perfectly. Sailing the waves at sunset with Pirates of the Caribbean on the speakers? Top-notch experience!
Great quality over price, the tour is spectacular. There was a bit of a rough sea but Pasquale, the driver, kept both the spirits and the boat perfect. Sail the sea at sunset with Pirates of the Caribbean theme song? Top experience!
