About this tour

A two-hour coastal cruise along Polignano a Mare's dramatic shoreline, navigating sea caves and natural stone formations inaccessible by land. Your crew guides you through the geology and local lore whilst you float above turquoise water, breaking for a swim and a proper aperitif—Apulian prosecco paired with tarallini crackers. You'll leave with the kind of photos that make people actually jealous of your phone.

Highlights

  • Sea caves and limestone arches visible only from the water
  • Swim in transparent Adriatic waters during the tour
  • Local prosecco and Apulian snacks mid-voyage
  • Crew commentary on coast history and geology
  • Panoramic shots of white-stone Polignano cliffside

What to expect

You'll board a stable, well-maintained boat and motor along the Apulian coast for roughly two hours. The crew will point out hidden grottoes carved into pale limestone cliffs and explain the landscape as you pass. Expect a refreshing dip in surprisingly clear water—bring a towel. Midway through, settle in with prosecco and tarallini while taking in views of the town perched above. The boat ride is gentle; there's no white-knuckle element, just the sway of the sea and good light for photographs.
