We took a boat tour to caves and I highly recommend taking one. - We took a boat tour to caves and I highly recommend taking one. The boat goes inside grottes. The tour value each eur you paid. We made a stop in caves to drink Prosseco and look around. The boat not big so you go with maximum 10 people and you have very comfortable seats. We also made a stop to swim in the open sea far from the beach. Music on the boat boost your mood. Also they have recorded stories about place you see on a way.

Once in a life time event - The boat tour and the swimming were amazing. The taxi ride to get there from Bari was quiet expensive.

See the caves beneath Polignano A Mare - Loved seeing the caves under the city. Was surprised that we were able to drive inside some of them. We did get wet on the boat - it was windy and we were going fast.

Relaxing getaway - Boat trip in itself fine, however no English Guide present, indicated when booking. Had to arrive half an hour in advance. We were then told to report to the boat 10 minutes in advance. There we were waiting for 20 minutes before we could board, without giving a reason. Person who had checked our tickets was nowhere to be seen during that time. Atmosphere on the boat was relaxed. Along the way a short stop with a drink and tarallinos.

Good for viewing coastline and caves-Disappointing swim! - Good boat trip for viewing coastline and caves! Disappointing ocean swim as no floating devices provided on boat and also quite unsafe if you’re not a confident swimmer!
