The Ionian coast of Santa Maria di Leuca offers some incredible rock formations, and you can discover them all on this boat trip to the Ionian caves! We will visit the most important natural cavities of this wonderful coastline, and snorkel into the magnificent Dragon's Cave and Lovers' Cave!
Departing from Santa Maria di Leuca we will head east and reach the exact point where the two seas meet. Our first stop will be at the Devil's Cave, where Neolithic artefacts have been found. We will then head to the Grotta del Fiume, which has a natural spring inside it, and to the three semicircular arches of the Grotta delle Tre Porte. We will also see the Grotta del Rifugio, which owes its name to the sailors who used to take shelter there during sea storms.
Our last stop will be at the Grotta del Drago, close to the Grotta degli Innamorati. You will dive into the sea and snorkel in both caves, accompanied by a guide. After this refreshing break, we will return to Santa Maria di Leuca.
Superb ride with a very friendly captain giving us lots of explanations on our journey to discover the caves A must do

Rocco was our skipper and in that he grew up in Santa Maria Leuca fishing with his dad, he has an intimate knowledge of the place and connection to the sea. As it turns out we were here in the off season in May and so instead of the usual ,20 or so cave boats we were one of three. Also as it turned out we were the only couple and so just Us ,Rocco, his first mate Stevio and an Italian model who was aboard for a website photo shoot. We had a special tours inside the caves which is not possible when many swimmers are present and polished off our cruise with a bottle of Ferrari prosecco. Rocco was great on the communication side from our first contact, and super helpful with parking and location details.
Wonderful experience, luxurious boat, great captain with english explanation. We did this trip with a 6 & 9 y old in April and we all loved it. Thanks a lot!
