We will set sail from Sperlonga's harbour and we will sail slowly inside the Riviera di Ulisse Regional Park. We will tell you about our coast, rich in history and breathtaking landscapes. We will start from the Grotta di Tiberio adorned by the homonymous emperor with numerous marble sculptures depicting the exploits of Ulysses. We will continue along the ancient Via Flacca (187a.C.). We will admire the medieval towers dating back to 1500 and finally the marvelous natural limestone caves: the Bazzano caves, the Capovento caves and the most suggestive one, the "Blue Grotto". Ready for the swim break? immerse yourself in its crystal clear waters! you can snorkel cooler and swim to the cave if you like ... it will be absolutely worth it! this moment of suggestion and relaxation will end only when we return to the harbour.

We are at the Port of Sperlonga. With the Truglia Tower behind us, we are on the right side, where you will find our Gazebo with the TICKET OFFICE - TICKETS sign. Warning: we are in a restricted traffic zone (LTZ). We recommend parking either at the "Parking delle Vite", a private parking located at the entrance of Sperlonga with shuttle service; or at the Public Parking in via dell'Angolo n.23, a 7-minute walk from the boarding point. Delay for scheduled departure at the scheduled time will not be tolerated.
The snorkeling equipment that is shown in some photos is not owned by us, but belongs to the summer camp that takes part in our excursions. Therefore we will not provide that type of model.
On request it is possible, for large groups, to organize the tour for more than 12 people up to 100 at the same time using several boats at our disposal or a single larger one. For such large groups, make individual reservations of 15 people (maximum bookable number) in sequence up to the desired number.
We recommend the experience in the morning compared to the afternoon one because the sea is always calmer. In fact, it can happen that in the afternoon in a short time the sea can get agitated due to mistral winds and in those cases the Tour has to be canceled with little notice for the guests.
Note: The snorkel (for hygiene reasons also related to covid) is not included, the traveler must bring it.
What To Expect
Villa of Tiberius
On leaving the harbour you will see the Grotta di Tiberio with the remains of the Villa, from the sea and listen to a brief historical of what it represented for the Roman Empire, and what it still represents for the people of the place today.

Fantastic boat trip! Ideal for families
Q1221FVpamelam,Jun 22, 2026

5.00We had a fantastic boat trip with our family of 8, including four grandparents and two young children aged 5 and 6. Swimming in the Blue Grotto was an unforgettable experience, and we all had so much fun in the crystal-clear water. The coastline of Sperlonga is absolutely beautiful, and seeing it from the boat was a real highlight. The captain was excellent—professional, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip. The guide was amazing as well: knowledgeable, super nice, and perfectly on time. This was a wonderful experience for all ages, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Sperlonga from the water. Thank you for a fantastic day!

5.00We had a great tour and experience, the communication with the company was easy and fast, our Captain Paolo was super nice and knowledgeable. We didn’t have much time, that’s why we chose the short tour, but swimming on the Grotta Azurra was beautiful.

5.00The hike was very nice; I was not familiar with that part of the coastline where history and caves intertwine. The captain was great and told us interesting stories. It's worth swimming to the Blue Grotto!

5.00Great tour with a young knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to ensure we had a good time and picked up a little knowledge along the way. Was the second time I have done this with different family members and all have enjoyed and would do again.
