Full description
Discover Maratea, also known as the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea, with our sunset kayak tour. You can explore this beautiful area at one of the best times of day, admiring the sunset directly from the sea.
In addition to the crystal clear sea, this stretch of the Gulf of Policastro is characterised by fine sandy beaches that alternate with rocky cliffs and incredible caves, including the Grotta del Bacio and Grotta Bucata.
This kayaking experience is ideal for sea and wilderness enthusiasts who want to enjoy an evocative experience enveloped by the warm colours of sunset.
What we will do
After meeting at 18.00 in Maratea, the guide will give a short briefing on how best to use the kayak.
We will set off immediately towards the Grotta del Bacio, once we reach it we can either enter directly by kayak or leave the canoe in the "Funnico Regio", a natural inlet with a Caribbean flavour where you can swim.
We also visit the Grotta Bucata which, once we have passed the narrow entrance, will surprise us with its interior. Paddling inside these ravines at sunset will make the experience even more magical and evocative.
At this point, we will turn back towards the beach of I Vranne, a tongue of fine dark sand with a rocky and rather jagged coastline. We will swim to the coast for a short walk and visit Giorgio's cave, a tunnel over the sea that is really rich in fish, and taste the wild fennel that gives Maratea its name.
During the hike, the guide will make a few stops to tell us a bit about the history of Maratea, born on a mountain that plunges into the sea. The itinerary will last a total of one and a half hours.
