Overview

Cape Palinuro's caves, bays, and sea stacks are tough to reach by land, so most travelers never see them up close.

Cool off along the way with swimming stops and a chance to snorkel.

Cover more of Cape Palinuro’s coast than you would by bus or car
Forgo the hassle of planning your route and leave the logistics to your skipper
Dive off for a swim at Baia del Buon Dormire, rated among Italy's finest beaches

Sceneries were amazing

Moustafa_E, Sep 2024

Not normal touristic crowded tours, this is real experience of the southern italian coast, Guide was speaking good italian and english. We explored 1 cave from inside and 2 small from outside, had 2 stops for swimming, one of the natural beaches that you can reach only by boat, one the best I have ever been to

Superb boat tour

Es war eine sehr schöne Bootsfahrt zu den Grotten, wir hatten einen schönen Tag, können die Tour nur weiter empfehlen. Das Meer ist türkis grün gewesen, so klar beim schwimmen

La voce delle grotte di Palinuro

silvia_b, Jun 2024

La suggestione dei luoghi, i racconti della guida, il bagno nella Baia del Buon Dormire, la musica di Pino Daniele in sottofondo al ritorno.

Affascinante

lugi_p, Aug 2023

Un tuffo nel famoso blu Palinuro e visita nella grotta azzurra . Costa molto bella con spiagge, calette e grotte; indubbiamente una gita da fare

Le grotte di Capo Palinuro

Tutto perfetto… l’acqua incantevole e le spiegazioni per ogni caletta dello skipper Antonio hanno reso questa esperienza indimenticabile. Esperienza assolutamente consigliata!
