Snorkeling stops let you explore a protected marine reserve.

Had a great time. Very friendly staff and cpt.
Worth every euro cent.
Went to three beautiful spots for a swim. The blue eye was absolutely fabulous. If you have a water resistant camera or protection bag for your phone, take it with you.
Ate a great slice of pizza and as a drink a glass of water or prosecco.
It was a very enjoyable trip.

It was a little too long and a bit boring because there was little interaction from the crew and the views on the way back to the port, were the exact same as on the way to old Gaeta. I was disappointed as the experience didn’t match any of the reviews I had read. There was no introduction or welcome to the passengers, we essentially just left and were on our way. There was no music except for when we got to swim so we all just sat in silence as we boated. We did get one piece of pizza but no prosecco was served as mentioned in many reviews. If you are young people looking for a bit of a boating vibe with an opportunity to meet people and or hear about some history. This is NOT the excursion for you. I wouldn’t go again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value every review as it helps us explain the philosophy behind our experiences.
Our "Riviera di Ulisse" tour is designed as a 4.5-hour slow-paced journey dedicated to absolute relaxation. We purposely depart at 9:00 AM because the sea is at its calmest, allowing guests to fully enjoy the crystal-clear waters before the area becomes crowded. Regarding the landscape being described as 'repetitive', fortunately, the vast majority of our guests – as shown by our over 1,000 positive reviews – find it breathtaking and unique; nevertheless, we respect that opinions are subjective.
As for the silence and lack of interaction, we host many people on board and our priority is to never be intrusive. We choose not to force conversation or entertainment, ricollecting to our concept of pure relaxation. For the same reason, we play music only during swimming stops. With around 20 passengers on board, including families and older travelers, we prefer to avoid constant noise, choosing instead to let everyone enjoy the soothing sound of the boat gliding over a flat sea.
Regarding the prosecco, our services evolve every year. While past reviews mentioned a standard glass of prosecco, this year we upgraded our offer by introducing a fully equipped onboard bar. Guests now have a wider selection of complimentary drinks, alongside extra beverages available at the bar.
We are sorry this nature-focused, peaceful experience did not align with the high-energy atmosphere you were looking for. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
Best regards

Fantastic cruise. The views and swimming were spectacular. Do expect much from the food but the crew and swimming great.

This was amazing! The best thing we did in Italy so far! So relaxing and fun. Families or couples anyone can enjoy this!! We had children and grandparents. Everyone had a great time. It is exactly how the trip is described. 100%. You must get into the water, it is amazing! The crew were awesome! If you get seasick you may want to take something, was a calm ride but sensative stomachs may be affected. Highly recommend!!!

It was an amazing day indeed, hope to see you soon, and thank you very much for your review!

This was a lovely boat ride. It would be better later during the summer when the water is warm enough to swim into the grottos, but if you don’t mind the cold, it’s probably great. The cliffs, ruins and views of the towns are stunning. Unfortunately, two of the other guests were smoking and the tour guide stopped to smoke as well.The smell is nauseating to me and made the experience not as enjoyable as it could’ve been. Also, if you need more food than pizza with only tomato sauce on it in the 4 1/2 hour tour, plan to bring your own.
