Santa Maria di Leuca is one of the main tourist destinations in the Salento. It's located at the extreme south of Apulia, at the very end of the heel of the Italian boot. Its coasts are famous for the sea caves, for the numerous watchtowers and for the crystal-clear waters, typical of the Salento region.
A boat tour to Santa Maria di Leuca is the ideal activity for visiting the caves and enjoying the sea in peace, away from crowded beaches and discovering enchanting places that cannot be reached by land.

Boat tours of all kinds depart from Santa Maria di Leuca and surrounding ports: day trips, short tours or sunset boat rides. You can sail on the Ionian or Adriatic side of the Salento peninsula, discovering caves, inlets and natural bays. A boat tour gives you the opportunity to swim in coves reachable only by sea and snorkel near reefs populated by fish and shellfish.
One of the must-do activities in the area is a trip to the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca: they provide particularly striking views and will absolutely leave you speechless thanks to the water’s vivid color and play of light. The most famous ones are the Grotta degli Innamorati, Grotta del Diavolo, Grotta del Fiume, and Grotta del Soffio, all in the Capo Leuca area. These aren’t however the only caves this location has to offer; you also have the opportunity to explore the inside of the Grotta del Drago, Grotta della Vora, Grotta delle Tre Porte and the Mesciu Scianni Cave.
The price for a boat tour in Santa Maria di Leuca varies depending on the duration, type of boat and any services included in the activity. A day tour by sailboat with lunch on board costs 80 euros per person. For a 3-hour tour with an aperitif, the fee is 50 euros per person, while a 2-hour tour with a visit to the caves costs about 20 euros.
A boat tour in Salento can be an original gift for any occasion. It is ideal for celebrating a birthday in an unusual way, to make a weekend or beach vacation special. If, on the other hand, you want to celebrate an event in style, you can choose to rent a private boat and bring your friends or the whole family along for an aperitif or lunch on board.

The discovery of a part of Apulia we could not have seen. Two moments where you can dive into the blue of two different seas and discover wonderful caves. Highly recommended!

A truly wonderful experience... Isaac, our guide, took us around the beautiful coast of Santa Maria di Leica, first taking me for a swim at the union of the two seas with a visit to the first beautiful cave... then he took us to the cave of lovers where he gave us another really exciting swim... to complete the whole thing, as well as showing us and explaining the rest of the coast, he made us enjoy the sunset with a tasty aperitif; an experience that is really recommended... great Isaac!
