Escursioni in Barca Paradise, Puglia, Italy

5.0 (151 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Salento Boat Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours

great experience

motor boat excursion for up to 12 people guided by the extremely charming captain antonio. there are different tours you can book, 4 or 2 hours, to the north of otranto or to the south, but antonio adapts the tour to the interests of his guests. he takes care of his younger guests while thrilling teenagers with a speedy ride and showing adults the beauty of the coastline. he makes everyone feel comfortable on board, gives facts about the area, anchors for swimming and snorkeling and offers a snack.

    Amazing
    #Amazing! If you are going to Otranto Italy you must take a boat trip with Barca Paridise! The full day six hour boat trip was the best investment for a life time of family memories! I wanted a very memorable experience for my wife and myself. We travel all over the world and want to create experiences to remember. This was one of those experiences. We passed south of Otranto by the tower that marked the most eastern point of Italy and had coffee ☕ , pasticciotti and focaccia before jumping into the amazing turquoise blue water in a protected cove. We then visited some jaw dropping caves by boat in the morning. Then we traveled north of Otranto to swim at some beaches that are only accessable by boat. The boat anchored so close to the shore that we easily swam to the beautiful powed sand beaches. After our swims, we had a light lunch/ appitizer on the boat that was anchored in one of the protected coves. The food and drinks were simply amazing. All of the food was home made and fresh from local gardens that morning. I highly recommend chartering a boat with Barca in Paradise. It was a memory that will go down as one of the best experiences in our life.

    A perfect day at sea
    This boat trip was the perfect conclusion to our stay in Otranto. My friend and I took the 4-Hour tour during which Antonio, the bist captain, took us to different coves along the coast, where we swam in pristine sea waters. He was quite the perfect guide and host. He gave us detailed explanation on each our stops and showed us his talents as Taranta singer and dancer. Excellent conversationalist, he made us laugh with his good sense of humor. He took his time to slice fresh tomatoes and to prepare wonderful bruschettas with fresh made mozzarella. A simple and delightful meal, paired with a crisp Prosecco! As I am not the confident swimmer Antonio came into the waters with me and led me safely to the caves. He made this excursion a wonderful experience for me. Thank you very much Antonio.
