Boat trip along the Porto Selvaggio coast

Porto Selvaggio means wild harbour, and from the sea you see why. The coast shows itself as it is: rock, caves opening onto the water and bays that have stayed unspoilt, where the boat slows down and gives you time to look.

The snorkeling stops happen in the bays. Mask and snorkel are included, so you just slip into the water and follow the seabed along the rock. Then you climb back aboard, set off again, and finish with an aperitivo on board.

You travel on a 10-metre rib with a skipper, up to 32 people. The trip lasts about three hours and runs on Wednesdays and Fridays, leaving at 10am or 3pm.

Two departures, two ways to plan your day. Take the 10am and you have the sea in the morning and a free afternoon to ride at an easy pace. Take the 3pm and you enjoy the bike in the cool of the morning, reaching the water when the sun is at its strongest.

You pick up the bike for free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, or I bring it to where you are staying for a fee based on distance. I prepare your self-guided route with GPX and roadbook, brief you before you leave, and while you are at sea the bike stays locked with the lock that comes with it.
