Gaeta Peninsula Boat Tour: A Breathtaking Exploration of Gulf and Coast

Viewing it from the water helps appreciate its unique shape, which is genuinely awe-inspiring. Seen from the sea, one can gain a separate perspective of the Gulf and the coast.

A dream gift - And who said wishes don't come true? Thanks to the availability, competence and creativity of the Gaeta Escursioni team (and in particular thanks to Diletta) I was able to give my husband a unique experience. Thanks to a breathtaking view and a lot of kindness we spent an extraordinary afternoon. We will be back for more wonderful excursions.
