Overview

We will set sail from Sperlonga's harbour and we will sail slowly inside the Riviera di Ulisse Regional Park. We will tell you about our coast, rich in history and breathtaking landscapes. We will start from the Grotta di Tiberio adorned by the homonymous emperor with numerous marble sculptures depicting the exploits of Ulysses. We will continue along the ancient Via Flacca (187a.C.). We will admire the medieval towers dating back to 1500 and finally the marvellous natural limestone caves: the Bazzano caves, the Capovento caves and the most suggestive one, the “Blue Grotto”. Ready for the swim break? immerse yourself in its crystal clear waters! you can snorkel cooler and swim to the cave if you like … it will be absolutely worth it! this moment of suggestion and relaxation will end only when we return to the harbour.

Know before you book

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transport options are available nearby
  • Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • 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 organisations that cannot manage your reservation. Arrival 15 minutes early is required to formalise boarding procedures. No delay will be tolerated for the scheduled departure at the established time.
  • The snorkelling 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 organise 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 cancelled with little notice for the guests.
  • Note: The snorkel (for hygiene reasons also related to covid) is not included, the traveller must bring it.
