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.

Beautiful places to visit - The mini cruise was beautiful. The friendly and highly professional staff with particular attention to the safety of "giants". The coves visited are really suggestive. We will repeat the hike in a few days and this time it will be with longer route, towards Gaeta. Recommended. Thanks to the guys of Sperlonga Excursions

Excellent - completely recommend! - This was a real highlight of our recent trip to Italy. The scenery is beautiful and the boat was comfortable. The tour guide was excellent with us and our kids, despite there being a language barrier! He tried hard to communicate and looked after us well! The opportunity to take a dive into the sea was excellent and enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. It was possible to stay on the boat while others swam, but don’t make a decision to take part or not before you go as you might regret not having swimming gear with you! The parking option that the tour guides texted us about on the day before the trip was well worth using. The information and communication from this tour company was superb. Would heartily recommend this activity and also spending more time in the local town.

Mini mini excursion - An hour up and down to find a person with a bike to book. On the brochure he gave us there were prices... the next day magically the prices were higher. Cute ride and the blue cave deserves but at that amount seems overestimated
