What to expect
You'll board a small private vessel early morning and cruise the UNESCO-listed coastline at a leisurely pace. The skipper points out geological features and local lore as you approach snorkelling zones. Bring your own mask or use the provided kit to explore the seabed's fish and plant life in calm, clear water. Swimming breaks happen naturally as you move between spots. On the return journey, settle onto deck with charcuterie, olives and regional wines as the sun shifts across the cliffs.
