Leuca caves tour by boat: Small group with swim stop

Ten people on a boat, caves opening into the Adriatic, a skipper who knows them all.

A 90-minute boat tour of Leuca's caves and coves with a local guide in Italian, maximum 10 travelers, and a 25-minute swim stop included. The boat carries a minibar with one drink per person. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.

• Swim stop in crystal clear sea
• Enjoy minibar drink on board

The experience

The boat leaves with one of the skippers who work these waters, and the group stays under ten people. You'll move through the caves and coves that line the coast here, and the skipper points out the places and the routes through them. The water is clear enough that the 25-minute swim stop is the moment most people remember. You get in, you float, you climb back on.

A drink is waiting on board when you return. The whole thing runs 90 minutes from start to finish, which is long enough to feel like a real outing and short enough to fit into an afternoon without eating the rest of your day. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it to get to the departure point.

What’s included

• A local guide who speaks Italian.
• one drink from the minibar.
• a 25-minute swim stop in the sea.
