What to expect
After boarding at Sperlonga port, the captain navigates you past towering cliff formations and into sea caves shaped by centuries of waves. You'll hear stories of the region's pirate past whilst moving between stops. The vessel moors three times in sheltered spots for snorkelling—exact locations shift depending on sea state, ensuring calm water and visibility. Each stop lasts 20–30 minutes. Expect a mix of boat time and in-water exploration. The boat is equipped with shade and you can rinse off with fresh water between swims.
