What to expect
You'll board at Sperlonga port and spend three hours on a small private boat hugging the coastline. The captain steers toward sea caves and rock formations, pausing three times so you can swim directly from the vessel using a sturdy ladder. Water clarity varies by conditions; some stops offer better snorkelling than others. Between swims, you'll eat red pizza and sip prosecco while listening to tales of corsairs who once sheltered in these caves. The boat has full shade coverage, and the pace is leisurely—expect mostly sitting punctuated by water time.
