easy.
3 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; you should be comfortable swimming short distances and boarding from a low boarding ladder.
The tour is approximately 3 hours with multiple short coastal passes, 3–4 cave approaches, and at least one longer swim/snorkel stop for about 20–50 minutes total.
Basic snorkeling and the ability to swim short distances are recommended; flotation devices are provided and crew supervise swims.
Tours typically depart from the Polignano a Mare marina (Cala Ponte) and return there after visiting coves and Monopoli’s coastline.
Children can join if supervised and often provided life vests; non-swimmers can participate but should remain on board or use flotation devices as directed by crew.
Polignano and Monopoli grew as maritime settlements; the cliffs and inlets sheltered fishing boats and influenced defensive architecture like Castle Charles V in Monopoli.
The Adriatic’s coastal caves and Posidonia seagrass beds are sensitive—use reef-safe products, avoid standing on seabed habitats, and follow crew instructions to minimize disturbance.
