I went on the boat excursion with my husband and 3 children (ages 12, 8 and 8). They absolutely loved jetting over the waves and going top speeds in the open water. Seeing the caves and swimming in two locations was the highlight for my husband and I. Local snacks and wine was a nice treat too.

A nice boat trip in a Zodiac boat culminating in a picnic at sea, with a tasty Italian snack and drink. And 2x the possibility to swim.
