Joining this tour you will discover the peninsula of Gaeta in company with a local guide. You will sail along its waters, admire its beautiful castles and cliffs, and go swimming and snorkeling in one of the peninsula's hidden gems. Once we leave the port in Gaeta Medievale, you will start relaxing on the boat sailing along Gaeta.

On board the guide will tell you about the history, culture, myths, legends and traditions characterizing this wonderful coastal city. We will then go on sailing alongside the Orlando Mountain Cliffs, tipically overhanging the sea, and marvel at the sight of the Turkish Cave and the Split Mountain, two singular natural attractions full of history and legends. From the boat you will then admire Serapo's beach, one the most popular beach of Gaeta and his particular Serapo's Ship, a rock looking like a ship submerged in the water; then we will pass alongside another little natural cave, known as the Devil Cave and finish in an incredible hidden bay, only reachable by boat.
