Ok for a miserable hot day. It was a nice way to see parts of Matara quickly. The “tour” was automated on a speaker, driver hardly interacted with us.

Unbelievable and so happy we chose this boat and skipper!

We had the best boat trip which was made even more special by our amazing skipper Francesco. He is talented in more ways than one and treated us to wonderful music and a portable keyboard performance! The caves and scenery were breathtaking and the swim stop was gorgeous. We enjoyed focaccia and prosecco to finish. There are lots of boat tours on offer and we’re so glad we did some research, read reviews and selected this one. Look no further and book, you won’t be disappointed!

Great Day on the Water

Great tour lead by Franceso, the boat wasn't overcrowded, there was shade if required. The drinks and snack were delicious and Franceso played great tunes. The boat was rather slow moving compared to others but we found this very relaxing and got to take in the sights on the way.

Boat ride to caves.

Our afternoon with Francesco was delightful. Singing and laughing and swimming with friends was the best. The caves were extremely cool as well.

Our boat ride led by Francesco was wonderful! His energy and charm made the experience all the more memorable. We enjoyed the great weather, saw beautiful caves accompanied by Francesco's educational narration, and had delicious prosecco and focaccia - this focaccia was the best we had during our entire 9-day trip to Italy! We also had a lovely swim in the water near Polignano a Mare. We would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone :)
