What you can expect
Take a boat trip along the coast of Sperlonga to discover bays, sea caves, and pristine nature. Swim in the crystalline waters of the Blue Grotto with a snorkel to see the incredible marine life and rock formations. Learn about the medieval history of this Italian coast, and discover its ties to Odysseus as you relax on deck.
Board the boat and set sail right away. Enjoy onboard amenities, including a bathroom, changing room, shower, ladder, and shaded areas. Pool noodles are also available on board to use during the swim stop.
As you leave the port, admire the first wonder of the journey: the Grotto of Tiberius. See the natural cave decorated with marble sculptures depicting the deeds of Ulysses. Continue sailing along the coast and admire the medieval Torre Truglia, dating back to the 1500s.
Then, discover the natural limestone caves of Bazzano and Capovento. Let yourself be amazed by the Cave of the Dolls, so called for the bizarre shapes of its stalactites. Next, make your way to the incredible pristine cove of the Blue Grotto, which takes its name from the deep blue of its waters.
Stop here for half an hour, good swimmers can swim inside the cave, or you can stay in the bay for a refreshing swim and some snorkelling. Enjoy the waters, which are particularly clean, fresh, and crystalline thanks to the natural spring that flows from the cliffs. Alternatively, relax on board and soak up some sun.
On the way back, admire the view as you approach the beautiful Torre Truglia, the symbol of Sperlonga, with the historic centre behind it, providing the perfect opportunity to take photos.
