Things to Do in
Gaeta

Dario Vecchio, since 1989 has been carrying out Tourist Trips and Boat Excursions in Gaeta. It is not a simple boat ride like many others, it is a real immersion in our world, in our passions. We take you by sea to discover the beauty of the Gulf of Gaeta, between Gaeta and Sperlonga. An exceptional, wonderful tour. Accompanying you on this experience is not just a job but a lifestyle. Book your excursion, we will accompany you to discover the environmental wonders that surround us: from the cliffs overlooking the sea, to the beaches set in the rocks; we will tell you all the anecdotes, history and peculiarities of the landscapes that we will encounter together.

I will be happy to share with you the most important events of the 4 Battles of Cassino, but also the personal Veterans' stories!

I will pick you up with my Italian Minivan at the train station of Cassino and we will cross Cassino new Town. We Will reach Trocchio Hill, to have a wonderful general view on the battlefield, then we will the stop next to the famous Rapido River, we will pay out respect to the local memorials and we will reach the Commonwealth War Cemetery of Cassino.

We will leave DA Gaeta, admiring the Aragonese Castle overlooking the sea. We will head to Monte Orlando Regional Park, a place that offers amazing and enchanting scenery. Unforgettable the glimpse of the cliffs, walls more than 80 meters high, which run overhanging the sea and the imposing and suggestive "Cave of the Turk". At the extreme point of the promontory awaits us the Sanctuary of the Split Mountain. On the opposite side of the beach of Serapo from the promontory of the Sanctuary, a sort of islet-rock is clearly visible, renamed by the locals "the ship". The nickname comes from the fact that the rock as a whole recalls the shape of a boat. Once in Sperlonga we will admire the medieval towers dating back to 1500 and the wonderful natural caves of limestone formation: the Caves of Bazzano, Capovento and the most suggestive, the "Blue Grotto" Immerse yourself in its crystal clear waters! Very suitable activity for birthdays or stag/hen parties.

With Rafting Super you discover what it means to surf a wave, dive into a rapid or ferry and move within the currents of the river, trying to sail faster than the other crews. The Rafting Super descent has only one goal: pure fun! The departure is preceded by an initial briefing in which the guides teach the crew the simple techniques of management and the precautions essential to guarantee the safety of the participants in the descent. Last but not least, our guides illustrate historical, cultural and landscape information on the Cassino area and the Gari river along the way! The descent takes place in extreme safety, with the constant presence of the guides who accompany their crew throughout the almost 4 km long journey. At the end of the activity, the return to the headquarters is scheduled by shuttle service offered by the rafting center.

Dario Vecchio, since 1989 carries out tourist trips and boat excursions in Gaeta Gaeta seen from the sea has a completely different perspective Bathing on the beach is beautiful and relaxing, but if you want to fully enjoy the beauties of Gaeta, you have to let go of the moorings and go out by boat, also because only thanks to this you can reach places that would not be accessible without it.. and above all, bathe in real natural pools, set in breathtaking views.

Leaving behind the Gulf of Gaeta we will skirt the Regional Park of Monte Orlando, a place of considerable naturalistic, historical and religious interest. From our boat we take an exciting panoramic cruise, which after the Angevin-Aragonese Castle, follows the coast to the extreme point of the promontory: the Sanctuary of the Montagna Spaccata, with its characteristic chapel dedicated to the Holy Crucifix, built on an embedded rock between two cliffs and suspended over the deep blue sea. Unforgettable will be the glimpse of the cliffs, more than 50 meters high, which drop sheer to the sea and of the natural caves, including the imposing Grotta del Turco After the Serapo Beach, there is a small islet, its narrow and long shape resembles a ship, which is why it is called "Nave di Serapo". For those who love snorkeling to explore the seabed, just dive in to become part of the underwater world ... it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience!

Dario Vecchio, since 1989 carries out tourist trips and boat excursions in Gaeta Gaeta is a peninsula, as I use to call it a "spit" of land in the middle of the sea, seeing it from the sea helps to understand its particular morphology which makes it breathtaking.

You might have heard the word “aperitivo” once or twice if you have Italian friends, and this is an "Italian Aperitivo with Monte Cassino History and the Gustav Wine". I will serve you a "finger food dinner of delicious local products" with a unique experience in which I like to interact in order to exchange and offer historical information about Cassino, answer any questions and illustrate focal points regarding some sites of the battle of Cassino in WWII, with a lot of interesting maps and pictures and original information not easy to find in the classic tourist itinerary, wich give very different perspectives of the battlefield behind the Monastery of Monte Cassino.  Not only, this is a good opportunity to have a special wine taste of the "Gustav Wine"; a bottle of a unique wine of which I invented the label, inspired by the vines I saw growing, during my walks on the paths around Monte Cassino.

The sun sets on the western beaches and a cool breeze rises from the waters of the sea, this is the most incredible time to hoist anchor and start our tour that skirts the medieval city. After a tour on the boat, we will stop in the Gulf to offer you an aperitif on the sea Having enjoyed the aperitif, while the sky turns red we prepare to return ... but the magic has just begun. The city lights up with a thousand colors that are reflected in the sea, and so another summer evening begins with its noise, its alleys and clubs that offer a lot of fun. Two really intense and exciting hours!
