About this tour
Cruise the Gargano peninsula's dramatic coastline by private boat from Vieste, exploring sea stacks, arched rock formations, and hidden caves carved into white limestone cliffs. This four-hour voyage takes you past named bays and beaches—some sandy, some shingle—with a swim stop and aperitif included. You'll see the monolith of Pizzomunno, the San Felice arch with its Campana grotto, and lesser-known coves like Zagare and Vignanotica, all backed by wild Mediterranean scrub clinging to the clifftops.

- White cliff walls studded with pine and rockrose
- Named bays: Zagare, Pugnochiuso, Porto Greco

What to expect
Your skipper navigates a small private vessel along the southern Gargano shore, pointing out geological highlights and local lore as you drift past pale sandstone cliffs and into shallow bays. The sea here is genuinely transparent—you'll see the seabed clearly. You'll have time to slip overboard for a swim and float in the warm shallows near gravel or sand beaches. The boat moves slowly enough to photograph rock formations and spot any wildlife. Towards the end, you'll anchor and sip an aperitif while the sun descends and the cliffs glow.
