Full description
If you think that an excursion at sea necessarily means instability and sudden waves, you have never tried getting on a catamaran! Sailing on two hulls is a different story, especially if the unique spectacle of Porto Cesareo is around you.
A 3-hour tour awaits you in which you will explore legendary stops such as the Isola dei Conigli and snorkel the richest seabed in Salento, in the company of a dedicated guide and an expert skipper.
And between a dive at the Roman Columns and a swim in a real natural aquarium, you will enjoy a delicious aperitif on board with wine and typical products.
What we will do
The rendezvous is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Porto Cesareo (LE) . Awaiting us will be the skipper and crew who will accompany us on our excursion aboard a comfortable twin-engine catamaran, designed to glide over the water with maximum stability.
We will set sail immediately towards the wonders of the Marine Protected Area. During the voyage we will make an initial 20-minute snorkelling stop near the Isola dei Conigli and the Scalo di Furno, before circumnavigating the Isola del Cuore and diving for another 20 minutes at the Colonne Romane, where we will observe fascinating underwater archaeological finds.
The route will continue towards the Isola della Malva and the famous Torre Lapillo beach. Here we will make a third 20-minute stop at the Madonna dei Naviganti, an authentic natural aquarium rich in marine fauna. We will have masks and flippers at our disposal to explore every detail in safety.
After skirting the hidden bays and the Castiglione Tower, the captain will choose a sheltered cove. It will be time to enjoy a rich aperitif of local delicacies such as potato panzerotti, rustici and sweet taralli, accompanied by drinks and excellent local wine.
Finally, we will head back to the harbour to conclude the experience. The activity will last about 3 hours in total.
