It will be time to wear masks and fins and dive for a half hour swim break. For the more daring it will be possible to swim to the cave which has stalagmites and an exceptional cliff to see.

We are located at Sperlonga's Harbour. With the Truglia Tower behind you, we are located on the right side, where you will first find the office and then the reception along the promenade on the pier (the last desk on the left). Attention: we are in a limited traffic area (ZTL). We recommend parking at "Parking delle vite", a private car park located at the south entrance of Sperlonga. From there you can reach us taking a shuttle that will bring you directly to us. If the desk is occupied you will have to wait your turn because the desks next to you, even if very close, represents other organizations that cannot manage your reservation. Arrival 15 minutes early is required to formalize boarding procedures. No delay will be tolerated for the scheduled departure at the established time.
-
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.
