1) ECONOMIC TOUR: 90 MINUTE BOAT TOUR + 1 BATH STOP.

IMPORTANT: This shared tour is the cheapest and most popular one. It takes place on boats of about 80-100 seats usually very crowded, not protected from the sun. The guided tour takes about 90 minutes with a short bathroom stop of up to 15 minutes. During the boat excursion you will admire the coast of San Domino with the elephant rock, the cave of the Viole, the cave of the Bue Marino, the architiello of San Domino, the cave of the Rondinelle, the cove of the Inglesi, the Pagliai, the Cretaccio, the Costoni of San Nicola and Cala delle Arene and you will have the 'opportunity to take a bath and see the submerged statue of St. Pius. Around 12 noon the excursion will be over and you will have to decide how to spend the rest of the afternoon until the scheduled departure at 4:30 p.m. We recommend that you bring a packed lunch to avoid running into crowds and exhausting lines in the sun. Keep in mind that the supply on the island is limited: bars and restaurants are very few.

Be aware that the only beach within walking distance is crowded in high season and it may be impossible to even lay down one's towel and bathe. Plan to take a cab to an inexpensive little beach. If you do not want to endure inconvenience and discomfort under the hot sun but have a more pleasant and unique experience, this is not the option for you. In peak season, the crowds of visitors and tourists on the island are considerable, so it is possible that there may be longer wait times before boarding the boat.

The Tremiti Islands are an authentic paradise in which to find crystal clear sea and wild nature thanks to its lush vegetation. An unmissable stop for those who choose the Gargano as their vacation destination. The Tremiti archipelago consists of 5 islands: San Domino, San Nicola, Capraia, Cretaccio and Pianosa.The first two are the largest, most interesting and visitable from a landscape and historical-artistic point of view. Throughout the archipelago there are characteristic coves and natural inlets that offer breathtaking scenery. Even Lucio Dalla called the Tremiti “my place of the soul”.Therefore, a boat ride to the Tremiti Islands is a must...

What to see in the Tremiti Islands in one day

To visit the Tremiti Islands in one day you need to leave by ferry from the ports of Vieste, Rodi Garganico and Termoli .We offer a complete “no worries” package that includes the ferry ticket and the boat tour of the archipelago. After the Tremiti boat excursion if you have free time we suggest:

  • San Domino beach if there are not too many people. The only one within walking distance is Cala delle Arene. There are lidos here where you can rent a beach umbrella. Not recommended in July and August.
  • Cool off in the Aleppo pine forest just a short walk away and take a walk to the small village of Isola.
  •  Take a lunch break at in the village of Isola
  • Take a cab boat to St. Nicholas Island and visit the medieval walls, the castle and the medieval abbey, among the few medieval churches that still preserve a remnant of the precious mosaic floor dating back to the 12th century. Here you can stroll through the small inhabited village of St. Nicholas and stop at a few cafes and overlook one of the viewpoints to admire the splendid panorama.
  • The islands do not have many beaches and some can be reached by paths that are not very convenient, so we do not recommend it for those who are only in Tremiti for one day.
  • Another option is to rent an dinghy with a private skipper for the remaining hours to reach other coves (but availability should be checked on the spot) and the costs are quite high. How long does it take to visit Tremiti Islands?Visiting the Tremiti Islands takes as little as a day to visit and admire the archipelago by boat and enjoy free time to tour it independently or stop at the beach.

The Gargano offers towns and landscapes that are also very different from each other. Peschici, Vieste, Mattinata are the most beautiful seaside destinations for cliffs, stacks and unique and “histagrammable” views. For nature and adventure lovers, a trekking, a bike tour or a Jeep tour in the Umbra Forest make a stay here unique. Then there is Monte Sant'Angelo, a Unesco site, and San Giovanni Rotondo, important religious destinations among the most famous in Italy. And finally, the villages of the Monti Dauni between food and wine, art and landscape.

Abbiamo amato esplorare le acque delle isole tremiti osservando i fondali grazie alle maschere fornite. Esperienza che rifarei altre 200 volte!

Consigliatissimo, tutto liscio senza intoppi. Lo skipper del tuor in barca ci aspettava allo sbarco. Ci ha fatto vedere le calette migliori e ci ha spiegato tutto al meglio.
