About this experience

Relive the legend of the pirates and discover the most authentic side of the Riviera of Ulysses with a hike through sea, history and unspoilt nature.
The Tour Le Grotte dei Corsari takes you along time-sculpted cliffs and coves accessible only by sea, among tales of ancient legends and wild views.

After departing from the port, the coastal navigation reaches the suggestive Grotta di Tiberio, where archaeology and the sea meet, and then continue towards the Beach of Bazzano and uncontaminated environments such as the Grotta degli Asinelli and Capovento.

The most exciting moment is the stop at the famous Blue Grotto, followed by the Spiaggia delle Bambole, famous for its crystal clear seabed. The tour includes three stops for swimming and snorkeling in caves and coves selected by the Captain based on sea conditions, to ensure always safety and clarity.

An intense experience, dedicated to relaxation and the discovery of the sea.
