About this activity

We will set sail from Sperlonga's harbour and we will sail slowly inside the Riviera di Ulisse Regional Park. We will tell you about our coast, rich in history and breathtaking landscapes. We will start from the Grotta di Tiberio adorned by the homonymous emperor with numerous marble sculptures depicting the exploits of Ulysses. We will continue along the ancient Via Flacca (187a.C.). We will admire the medieval towers dating back to 1500 and finally the marvelous natural limestone caves: the Bazzano caves, the Capovento caves and the most suggestive one, the "Blue Grotto". Ready for the swim break? immerse yourself in its crystal clear waters! you can snorkel cooler and swim to the cave if you like ... it will be absolutely worth it! this moment of suggestion and relaxation will end only when we return to the harbour.

We will reach this body of water at the end of the slow navigation on the coast. The view of this natural bay will leave you whitout words .. 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 bath will be very refreshing and regenerating because spring 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;)
