Boat trip and snorkeling at Punta Prosciutto

Dunes, the Palude del Conte and Torre Castiglione, with swim stops in a marine reserve.

What you do

On the Ionian side the scenery changes: no sheer cliffs, but dunes and Mediterranean scrub. This rib trip crosses the Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area, running along the dunes and the wild landscape of the Palude del Conte as far as Torre Castiglione.

The swim stops set the rhythm. You stop, grab the mask and snorkel, which are included, and look down at the seabed. Then you move on, and before heading back there is an aperitivo on board.

The rib is 10 metres long with a skipper and takes up to 32 people. The trip lasts about three hours, Monday to Saturday, leaving at 10am or 3pm.

By bike

If you want to ride as well, I suggest the 3pm departure: morning on the bike, a light lunch, afternoon in the water. With the 10am trip you flip it and keep the afternoon for cycling. While you are at sea, the bike stays locked with the lock that comes with your rental.

You pick up the bike for free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, or I deliver it to where you are staying for a fee based on distance. I prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook and brief you before you set off.
