Speed- boating the Adriatic Sea
H4882ACroberts, October 2026
Great tour of the caves! Our English-speaking boat driver was friendly and knowledgeable of the caves. Since we took the train from Bari to Polignano a Mare, it was a short walk from the train station to the pick-up point in town. The 10 euro/person was worth taking the boat company's van to/from the meeting point.

Highlight of our trip
Eastondjones, October 2026
Had an absolute blast with my whole family and our friends. Nicholas, our driver was accommodating to everyone, showing us the beautiful sites that could only be seen from the water and an expert guide. We took a 4.5 hour tour, went through amazing caves, stopped and ate on the boat, and even got dropped off for a walk through Monopoly. I highly recommend this tour. It’s operated by a family and the communication from start to finish was smooth. Compared to other boat tours, the price was very affordable. So worth it! Highlight of our trip in Puglia.
Response from the operator · OnAir18988849768
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We're thrilled your tour with Nicholas was a highlight of your Puglia trip. Your kind words about our family business and service mean a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you back!
