Description

Explore the Coast of Basilicata: A 30-Kilometer Paradise on the Tyrrhenian Sea

 

In Basilicata, there is a wonderful stretch of coastline of only 30 kilometers overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The gem of this area is Maratea, a place of unspoiled beauty characterized by rocky cliffs and hidden caves, as well as fine sandy beaches alternating with pebble beaches, including the famous Black Beach of Maratea, known for the dark color of its sand, and the renowned marina.

 

A Kayaking Adventure: Two-Hour Tour among Caves and Tunnels

 

With a two-hour kayak tour, you will have the opportunity to experience the magic of exploring coves and tunnels accessible only by sea. Accompanied by experienced instructors, you will visit four caves starting from the charming Port of Maratea or the Black Beach.

 

How It Works

 

After meeting up, the guide will hold a brief briefing on how to best use the kayak. Then, you will set out to discover the caves, including the Cave of the Kiss, the Cave of Giorgio, and the Cave of the Sciabella, where you can enter directly by kayak or swimming. During the excursion, we will leave the canoes in the natural coves and on the Caribbean-flavored beaches, and we will swim at I Vranne Beach, a strip of fine and clear sand reachable only by sea, often chosen by loggerhead sea turtles for nesting.

 

An Experience for Everyone

 

The excursion is suitable for everyone, both beginners and experts, even for those experiencing sea kayaking for the first time. Activities are tailored to the group and sea conditions, to ensure all participants have a unique and unforgettable experience.
