Hey all -
We're considering going out the the Tremiti Islands for either a day trip or for a few nights in early June. What are your thoughts? We have 4 & 8 year old kids, and are very keen to snorkel and hike.
Are day trips possible to Tremiti, or recommended?
What is the best town to get a ferry from? and do they run multiple times a day?
If we end up doing a day trip, I think we'd stay in Vieste. Any thoughts on Vieste, is it a good base for beachy day trips?
Thanks so much!

Link to the website of NLG, the ferry company providing service to the Tremiti Islands.
I see that the in-season schedule isn't yet posted on the company's own website, so I guess you'll need to keep checking. I found the company website via Rome2Rio.com, which says the ferry takes 75 minutes and runs just once a day. That wouldn't work for a day trip, obviously, but perhaps that information is incorrect. Rome2Rio often gets the details wrong, or it may well be showing today's (off-season) schedule.
And, indeed, Google took me to the OK-Ferry website, whose look-up function produces more encouraging results: a shorter travel time and multiple ferries each day for Thursday, June 1. So I think you can pull this off. Just keep checking the NLG website for the official info.
As a general tip, Googling what you want to do (Ferry to Tremiti Islands) will often produce results.
I've visited the Gargano Peninsula (briefly) a couple of times; it's very pretty. I have not been to the islands but would like to do so. Hope you'll report back after your return.
I believe a ferry runs from Termoli to the Islands, but unfortunately I do not know more than that. I will be trying to locate more info myself as we will stay in Termoli for three days this coming September.
thank you!! anyone have options about basing in Gargano Peninsula/Peschici or Termoli instead?
