The boat ride was one of the highlights of our family trip to Puglia. We were a family group of 9 that included two children (6 and 3 years old) and we weren't sure if the boat ride would be suitable for them but it ended up being their favorite activity..! The private boat ride for our group was perfect because we interacted during the activity and visited different caves. We even toasted with prosecco that Francesco our Captain provided and had a chance to take a quick dip into the Adriatic Sea...! Unforgettable. Definitely recommended.

Amazing scenery! Our guide was a young lad, who' was very happy to explain what we were looking, took our pictures and played fun familiar songs while cruising and served Prosecco and typical Pugliese crackers/biscuits. He also recommended nice restaurants for our lunch.

Enjoy an aperitif, make frequent stops to swim in the crystal-clear waters, and soak up the dramatic views of the coast.

This was easily one of the top highlights during my entire one month stay in Bari. The caves/sea are beyond beautiful and the boat ride was absolutely lovely. Our guide, Alessandro, was incredible.
