Gaeta

Since 1989, Dario Vecchio has been operating tourist trips and boating tours in Gaeta. Gaeta, a peninsula, is often referred to as a ‘spit’ of land nestled in the sea. Viewing it from the water helps appreciate its unique shape, which is genuinely awe-inspiring. Seen from the sea, one can gain a separate perspective of the Gulf and the coast.

very nice office service, worth recommending, - I wanted to thank you for your excellent immediate help when I found myself in a difficult situation with my trip. Being with my parents and son in Sperlonga, I was convinced that the boat was leaving from Sperlonga, but it turned out that it was leaving from Gaeta. I asked the office staff for a refund for 4 people. it seemed complicated. However, after 10 minutes the Italian woman called back and said that she had managed to ask and the tickets would be part of the ticket. I didn't think it would be so fast. I recommend the small Italian town of Sperlonga to everyone.

Beautiful boat ride in Gaeta - Beautiful boat ride, super helpful and kind guides, and highly recommended tour to spend an hour at sea in Gaeta. It was beautiful to see the city from the sea and it wasn't crowded at all. It just felt like a semi-private outing. Super recommended!

Absolutely MUST DO!!! - 1 hour boat tour of the Gulf of Gaeta highly recommended!! Suitable for everyone, we were with family and it was beautiful. Everything was perfect, from the landscapes to the guide, Simone, who told us legends and stories of Gaeta. He was very kind. Even the girl during the booking/information phase was really very kind!! If you are in Gaeta you can't miss out on an hour like this! 5/5.

heaven - the view was spectacular but never as spectacular as the seabed, truly unique, we went down to -22 m depth with our diving equipment and it was a fantastic dive except for some underwater problems not caused by the workers

Gaeta from a privileged point of view. - Splendid boat ride (comfortable) to discover Gaeta from a privileged point of view. With Simone who told us the thousand-year history of Gaeta, while he took us to see suggestive corners of the coast, surrounded by myths and legends. I recommend it to everybody

When you think it's not for you and you have to think again - My son and daughter-in-law gave us the one-hour trip around Gaeta but, suffering from the sea, I didn't think I would be able to enjoy that wonderful landscape. It was not so! The staff are kind and attentive and manage to immediately put you at ease, the captain told us stories about the various attractions and they were right in reassuring me, I didn't feel any discomfort! they gave us an experience we absolutely wanted to repeat! Thank you, thank you thank you, we will definitely come back to you!
