Full description
Let's play a game: we take you around caves in Polignano a Mare and you tell us your favourite!
Between Grotta Palazzese, Grotta degli Innamorati and Grotta delle Rondinelle, choosing will be a challenge. But that's the beauty of arubber dinghy excursion among the wonders of Polignano: every glimpse is a discovery!
Enjoy 1 and a half hours of navigation with a local skipper , with a stop for diving and snorkelling and an aperitif on board!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the hamlet of San Vito di Polignano a Mare (BA).
We will be welcomed by the skipper, ready to guide us on this mini-adventure along the Apulian coast. On board a dinghy, we will explore one by one the natural jewels of the area, such as Grotta Palazzese, famous for its restaurant carved into the rock.
We will sail past the Grotta delle Rondinelle, a large cavity with a clear, sandy seabed. We will then discover the Grotta degli Innamorati and its legend, and many other wonders such as the Grotta Ardito, the Grotta di Pietro e Paolo and the Grotta delle Monache.
There will be postcard views such as the Lama Monachile, the Bastione di Santo Stefano, the Scoglio dell'Eremita and the famous monument to Domenico Modugno, to be admired directly from the sea.
In summer, we will stop for about 20 minutes in front of Grotta Palazzese for a regenerating swim with snorkelling equipment provided on board, followed by an aperitif with prosecco, Spritz, taralli and focaccia. In the winter months, however, a stop at Cala Paura will also be included, with an explanation dedicated to this corner of the coast.
The activity will last a total of one and a half hours.
