About this experience

We will start from the Grotta di Tiberio adorned with numerous sculptures depicting the deeds of Ulysses. We will continue along the ancient Via Flacca (187a.C.). We will admire the medieval towers dating back to the 1500s and wonderful natural caves. We will arrive in Gaeta (LT) and we will admire the "Montagna Spaccata". The show that offers the reserve of the Regional park of Ulisse, is amazing. UNIQUE experience, because I have a regular permit to access it.

Detailed itinerary

Upon leaving the port I will show you the Grotta di Tiberio from the sea with the remains of the Villa of the Emperor, I will briefly tell you what it represented for the Roman Empire, and what it still represents for the people of the place. We will continue slowly inside the Riviera di Ulisse Regional Park. I will tell you about our coast, rich in history and breathtaking landscapes. Sperlonga is rich in natural caves, the most famous of which: the blue Grotto (first swim stop and 30 'snorkeling for everyone)

We will reach this body of water at the end of the slow navigation on the coast. The wiew of this bay will leave you speechless .. It will be time to wear masks and fins and dive for a half hour swim break. For the more daring it will be possible to swim to the cave which has stalagmites and an exceptional cliff to see. The swim break will be very refreshing and regenerating because cold water flows directly from the cliff. You are not obliged to go into the water and you can also remain on board, however we do not recommend it;)

We will continue in direction Gaeta until we reach the Montagna Spaccata, a magical place that attracts thousands of visitors every year. Here is the Sanctuary of S.S. Trinity built in the 11th century, on a rock wedged between two cliffs and suspended over the deep blue sea. Unforgettable will be the glimpse of the cliffs, rocky walls more than 80 meters high, which drop steeply over the sea and natural caves, including the imposing Grotta del Turco.After the Serapo beach, there is an islet brass, its shape narrow and long, it resembles a nave, it is said to have been Ulysses' ship. The Devil's Well is a cave at the upper end of which there is a hole as big as the perimeter of the same. (second swim stop and 30 'snorkeling where you will explore the seabed of the protected marine area of Monte Orlando. The enchanting scenarios are guaranteed!

Our journey will continue in the Gulf of Gaeta where it will be possible to admire the Temple of San Francesco, of neo-Gothic art, which overlooks the sea in all its majesty ...

Stop 6

we will enter the gulf and it will be wonderful to see gaeta from the sea ...

In the return navigation we will continue to the west to let you admire the beautiful Torre Truglia, symbol of Sperlonga, and the historic center behind it ... It will be time to take an unforgettable photo.

Return in the harbour, after the mooring maneuvers it will be possible to get off the boat.

These attractions are part of the natural marine reserve that is part of the "Riviera di Ulisse" Regional Park

The experience will take place in this place awarded as "one of the most beautiful villages in Italy" which also had the prestigious recognition of the "Blue Flag" this year.

Important information

Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

Not recommended for pregnant travelers

Public transportation options are available nearby

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

The snorkeling equipment that is shown in some photos is not owned by us, but belongs to the summer camp that takes part in our excursions. Therefore we will not provide that type of model.

We are located at Sperlonga's Harbour. With the Truglia Tower behind you, we are located on the right side, where you will first find the office and then the reception along the promenade on the pier (the last desk on the left). Attention: we are in a limited traffic area (ZTL). We recommend parking at "Parking delle vite", a private car park located at the south entrance of Sperlonga. From there you can reach us taking a shuttle that will bring you directly to us. If the desk is occupied you will have to wait your turn because the desks next to you, even if very close, represents other organizations that cannot manage your reservation. Arrival 15 minutes early is required to formalize boarding procedures. No delay will be tolerated for the scheduled departure at the established time.

We recommend the experience in the morning compared to the afternoon one because the sea is always calmer. In fact, it can happen that in the afternoon the sea can get agitated in a short time due to mistral winds, and in this eventuality the Tour has to be canceled with little notice for the guests.

Not recommended for the infants, due to the heat and the many hours on board to spend.
