15 Sea Cave Tours in Italy Worth Booking

Desirèe experience. Visit of the marine caves of Vieste - Entering the marine caves of Gargano

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 732 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $30Our pick

Explore Vieste’s sea caves, white cliffs, Pizzomunno, and Vignanotica beach on a practical three-hour boat tour.

“Great experience with the family and grandparents. Parking right next to the boat tour. Easy embarkation. Bathroom onboard. Lots to see. Try and get a seat on the right side of the boat as that side gets the most views. Stop at a small beach for a 45 min break for snacks and swim. I would highly recommend putting a lot of sunscreen. Because of the wind and water splashing you (depending on the wind you might end up soaked) you might burn because you don't feel hot.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 348 reviews · 2 hours · from $47

Review of Syracuse’s 2-hour boat tour to Ortigia, Pillirina, and sea caves, with swimming, snorkeling, local guides, and practical tips.

“The captain, Francesco, spoke almost no English but with his translator app and gestures, he was easy to understand, was knowledgeable and humorous. He made the trip. It was nice to see and go inside a sea cave, and the boat tour around the entire island of Ortigia and part of Pillirina was good, too. It is nice to get a different perspective and see things from the water instead of just on land. The water was pretty choppy when we were there, so he had to go a little slower than he maybe would have on a calm day, but we still had an enjoyable experience. We did the…”
