These three Sperlonga options cover very different ways to spend time: a private coastal boat outing, a shorter private boat tour with a swim stop, and a land-based experience centered on the old village and wine tasting. The right choice depends on whether you want a longer route, a compact sea excursion, or a guided food-and-wine visit.

VIP Riviera of Ulysses Private Tour DA Sperlonga to Gaeta
Best for: Travelers who want a longer private outing with more coastline and landmark viewing from the sea.
This private boat experience follows the coast from Sperlonga toward Gaeta, with commentary focused on the shoreline, sea caves, and landmarks seen from the water. It includes a swim stop, and the listed onboard items cover shade from the sun, a fresh-water shower, a pool noodle, prosecco, and sliced pizza after the swim break.

Sperlonga Experience and Wine Tasting Tour
Best for: Travelers who prefer a guided walk with a winery or tasting-focused visit instead of a boat trip.
Unlike the two boat tours, this experience focuses on Sperlonga on land and uses a guided format led by a native host. The main version includes a walk through the old village and a visit to a local winery, while the shorter option stays in Sperlonga for the tasting and does not include the winery or vineyards. The product notes say the wine tasting and lunch are not included in the price and must be paid on site. This is the right choice for travelers who want a slower, culture-and-food format rather than a coastal excursion.
Sperlonga walking and wine experience
- Guided by a local host.
- Combines the old village with a vineyard or tasting visit, depending on option.
- Includes a stated tasting-and-lunch format, with on-site payment noted for the wines and lunch.
