Itinerary

Centro Storico di Polignano a Mare
20 min

The Historic Center of Polignano: a gem between sea and history. In the heart of the marvelous Puglia coastline, the historic center of Polignano a Mare stands out as a precious treasure trove of emotions, history, and timeless charm. This charming town, perched on a tuff cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, offers its visitors an unforgettable experience, made up of narrow and suggestive alleys, breathtaking panoramic views, and a unique atmosphere.

Grotta Azzurra
20 min

The Blue Grotto of Polignano a Mare is a natural attraction of sublime beauty that evokes a sense of mystery and enchantment. Once you pass through the small opening in the rock, you find yourself in a cave of karstic origin, not particularly large in size but with an imposing appearance. The sunlight penetrates through the narrow opening, creating a play of light and shadow on the rock sculpted by millennial erosion and on the crystal-clear waters of the sea. The iridescence of the water, which takes on shades ranging from turquoise to emerald, and the almost unreal silence offer an experience of inner peace in harmony with the unspoiled landscape. Visiting the grotto is a sensory journey that awakens the most childlike and poetic part of ourselves. For a moment, we find ourselves alone in the realm of enchantment and let ourselves be carried away. It is a temporary yet ever-evolving spectacle that tells of the tenacious power of beauty and mystery. Please note that entry into the Blue Grotto is not permitted.

30 min

The Palazzese Cave is an almost unreal place, where nature has masterfully shaped a unique location in the world. Once through the threshold of this cavity overlooking the sea, you find yourself catapulted into a dimension suspended between heaven and earth. The cave, with an even older origin than the famous Blue Grotto, has been literally carved by erosion on the side of the limestone cliff. The interior environment is dominated by the living rock, which drops sharply into the waters, and by the sky that overlooks it generously.

20 min

The Eremita Rock is a place steeped in legend and suggestion, set like a gem in the crystal-clear sea of Polignano a Mare. To reach this solitary rock, you must rely on small boats that sail the waters of the bay. Once you arrive at the base of the rock, the origin of the name becomes clear: its peculiar shape, eroded by wind and waves, resembles the figure of a praying monk, with bowed head and joined hands.

15 min

The Grotta delle Rondinelle, located in the picturesque Via San Vito in Polignano a Mare, represents a unique work of nature in the world. Immersing oneself in its depths means abandoning the frenzy of the outside world and letting oneself be cradled by the majesty of its walls and the melody of the waves that break inside the cave. The feeling of wonder and amazement experienced inside is difficult to describe in words, but it can be said with certainty that the Grotta delle Rondinelle represents an emotional and sensory experience without equal.

Lama Monachile
5 min

Lama Monachile is a picturesque cove nestled among the rocks and bathed by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The atmosphere in this corner of paradise is magical and engaging, capable of capturing the senses and making you feel in communion with nature. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, the salty scent of the air, and the breathtaking view of the sea create an unforgettable sensory experience. Lama Monachile represents a real gem of the territory, a place where beauty and serenity merge to offer a unique and unforgettable experience.

Ponte Borbonico di Lama Monachile
5 min

The Bourbon Bridge of Lama Monachile, located in the charming town of Polignano a Mare, represents an architectural work of great historical and cultural value. Built in the 19th century, the bridge connects the two banks of the Lama Monachile, creating a charming and suggestive image. The view of the bridge standing on the sea, with its majestic and imposing architecture, is capable of eliciting deep and intense emotions. The sensation of crossing the bridge, walking on its stone structure, and admiring the breathtaking panorama that opens up on the cove below, is an experience that remains impressed in memory forever. The Bourbon Bridge of Lama Monachile represents a symbol of beauty and history, capable of enchanting and fascinating anyone who visits it. Afterwards, we make our way back.

Use another boat service

I explained to the captain that my wife had a disability. They changed our pickup point which we managed to maneuver. It was a beautiful day and Kate our first mate was amazing. However, on the ride back the captain (Nico?) was driving the boat at a very high speed with wakes creating a very bumpy ride for my wife. I asked him to slow down as my wife was in pain. He reacted in an angry, aggressive fashion which created a very uncomfortable confrontation for me who was simply trying to protect my wife's medical condition. We weren't asking for anything other than slowing down a bit. His concern was not about our safety but instead retaliating with more agressive behavior. He was so rude. Kate was very tearful and apologized profusely. Isabella, the owner, offered no apologies or really anything of substance. Customer service nor safety is clearly not their emphasis. Would not recommend them at all. This coming from someone who has visited Italy multiple times and rented boats on multiple occasions. Fine if everything goes well, but don't expect any accommodations.

An unforgettable experience!

Our boat trip was the best activity on our whole vacation. Seeing the grottos and even going into some blew our minds. Nico was a very skilled captain and even with some wavy conditions, he made it a smooth ride. It was not quite busy season so we had no other boats around us so we loved that. But highly recommend being able to see Polignano a Mare from the water.

A great afternoon activity. Nico the skipper was very professional and a great handler of the powerful Invictus boat. They also tailored the drinks and had good snacks while we laid anchor and took a swim

Fun and worth the private cost

This was a great experience and a welcome getaway from the cruise that ported in Bari. It was Saturday and the locals were out enjoying their weekend. I would have loved to see a cave we couldn’t because of traffic but it was fun. Skylar was perfect and sweet, she and Nico were nice and professional.

Amazing boat tour!

This was incredible, great spots, beautiful scenery, knowledgeable tour guide. Amazing value for money - there was 9 of us! Little bumpy as quite windy on this day but didn’t ruin the day - great swimming spot. Can bring extra wine if you would like too. Good vibes all round!
