Additional Information

Our voyage begins from the port of Sperlonga, leisurely navigating within the Riviera di Ulisse Regional Park. We’ll share tales of our shoreline, renowned for its historical richness and stunning vistas. The expedition starts with a visit to Grotta di Tiberio, embellished by the eponymous emperor with numerous marble statues honouring Ulysses’ adventures. We’ll then proceed along the ancient Via Flacca from 187 BC, marvel at the medieval towers dating back to the 1500s, and finally explore the impressive natural limestone formations: the Bazzano caves, Capovento caves, and the most compelling - the ‘Blue Grotto’. Eager for a splash? Dive into its crystal-clear waters! Take a refreshing snorkel or swim toward the cave if you wish… guaranteed, it will be an experience you’ll never forget! We’ll only call it a day when we arrive back at the port.

  • We are located at Sperlonga’s Harbour. With the Truglia Tower behind you, we are located on the right side, where you will first find the office and then the reception along the promenade on the pier (the last desk on the left). Attention: we are in a limited traffic area (ZTL). We recommend parking at “Parking delle vite”, a private car park located at the south entrance of Sperlonga. From there you can reach us taking a shuttle that will bring you directly to us. If the desk is occupied you will have to wait your turn because the desks next to you, even if very close, represents other organizations that cannot manage your reservation. Arrival 15 minutes early is required to formalize boarding procedures. No delay will be tolerated for the scheduled departure at the established time.

  • The snorkeling equipment that is shown in some photos is not owned by us, but belongs to the summer camp that takes part in our excursions. Therefore we will not provide that type of model.

  • On request it is possible, for large groups, to organize the tour for more than 12 people up to 100 at the same time using several boats at our disposal or a single larger one. For such large groups, make individual reservations of 15 people (maximum bookable number) in sequence up to the desired number.

  • We recommend the experience in the morning compared to the afternoon one because the sea is always calmer. In fact, it can happen that in the afternoon in a short time the sea can get agitated due to mistral winds and in those cases the Tour has to be canceled with little notice for the guests.

  • Note: The snorkel (for hygiene reasons also related to covid) is not included, the traveler must bring it.

Best. Trip. Ever - This was an out of this world experience the whole crew were so accommodating from start to finish, they have equipment on board for a snorkel when you stop at the cave, honestly one of the best trips I’ve taken on this app, huge thanks to the skipper and his crew 🔥 He even went a step further to arrange transport for us to and from the train station, couldn’t recommend this trip enough if you want to see the beauty of the sperlongoian coastline, look no further.

Highly recommended! Nice little boat tour, very friendly crew! - Very nice, little boat tour on a pretty boat. Extremely friendly crew! Easy WhatsApp contact. Unfortunately we were late, but they waited for us. On board, we were given explanations of the individual sights in English and with photographs, he even went to each of them (there were only 4 families/couples) individually and in different languages. Very nice!! The stop for diving was also great, there were goggles on board, but if you want to snorkel, you have to bring your own.

Pleasant boat trip with a guide and swimming. - Communication when ordering was good. Pleasant reception on arrival. Great new tour boat with practical benches. Good guide who spoke English. Shown areas with history that cannot be seen from land, only from the sea. Swimming in the azure sea with a lot of fish. Delicious. Recommended👍
