The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Sail to the car-free island of Giannutri — a protected marine reserve with crystalline waters — to snorkel ancient Roman ruins and hidden coves. One of Tuscany's most untouched secrets, accessible only by private boat.
Glide into sea caves, hidden grottoes and amber-lit coves carved into Monte Argentario's wild cliffs on a private motorboat. This is the definitive way to experience the promontory's most dramatic and inaccessible beauty.
Explore the three 16th-century Spanish fortresses that crown Porto Ercole — where Caravaggio took his final breath in 1610. An expert-led private walk through one of Italy's most atmospheric and overlooked historical sites.
Spend a private morning at La Parrina, one of Tuscany's oldest and most storied agri-estates, tasting bold Maremma DOC reds and single-estate extra-virgin olive oil amid organic vines and ancient olive groves.
Dive the Tuscan Archipelago's protected reefs with Argentario's most respected dive centre — vivid posidonia meadows, octopus-laced rocks and schools of amberjack in some of Italy's clearest coastal waters.
Pedal the Feniglia tombolo — a 7 km pine-shaded sandbar linking Monte Argentario to the mainland — on a private e-bike, with the turquoise lagoon on one side and the Tyrrhenian on the other. Utterly effortless, absurdly beautiful.
