What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Santa Maria di Leuca (LE), where the organisers of the activity will be waiting for us. After an initial briefing of about 10 minutes during which we will learn how to drive the boat, a 5.50 m Marinello Fisherman boat with a maximum capacity of 5 people, we will be ready to set off!
We will be able to choose theitinerary we want, exploring the Adriatic side or the Ionian side. If we choose the Adriatic side, we will be able to reach the Terradico Cave, also known as the Cave of the Indians and famous for its triangular shape.
Continuing along this route, we will encounter the Grotta dei Gabbiani, where water infiltration has eroded the rock and formed stalactites, and the Grotta Verdusella. Finally, we can go as far as the Grotta del Soffio (Breath Cave) and the famous Grotta della Vora (Vora Cave), inside which various plays of light are created.
Sailing along the Ionian side, on the other hand, we will be able to reach well-known destinations such as the Grotta del Diavolo, the Grotta delle Tre Porte and the Grotta dei Giganti. The first, for example, has become famous because of the sinister noises of the sea coming from inside it, which inspired its name. If we wish, we can go as far as the Cave of the Dragon and admire the rock formations that recall this mythological animal.
We will decide the plan for the day, taking advantage of the clear waters to do some snorkelling and having fun diving from the boat. No boat licence is needed - just a bit of creativity!
Depending on the option selected at the time of booking, the activity will last half a day (4 h ) or afull day (8 h).
