Two hours on this line take you to grottos you cannot walk into: Grotta del Bacio, Grotta di Giorgio, and the hidden inlets between them, with a stop at Spiaggia d'I Vranne, a pocket beach loggerhead turtles often choose for nesting. Local guides know which grottos are open in a breeze, and groups stay at 12 or fewer, so you are not lost in a raft of boats at a cave mouth. 📋 Key Details Duration: about 2 hours Location: Maratea, Tyrrhenian coast Minimum age: 18 years Group size: up to 12 guests Difficulty: Easy, beginners welcome 🛶 What to Expect After a beach or harbour briefing you follow the guide along the Lucanian shore into caves that open only from the water. Stops are for a look inside the grottos and time at Spiaggia d'I Vranne when the sea allows. The pace suits mixed abilities. Swell can keep you out of the tighter mouths, which is the guide doing the job rather than forcing a squeeze. You return to the same seasonal start after about two hours. Shared and private options may both be available. Minimum age is 18. The caves are the point of this slot: cliffs, clear water, and the grottos as the line. 📍 Location Maratea's coast is a short run of pale cliff, dark sand at Spiaggia Nera, and sea caves cut into the limestone. From a kayak you reach Grotta del Bacio and Grotta di Giorgio without walking the cliff road. The water is the doorway. The harbour and Cala Jannita are the two seasonal bases. Both put you on the water quickly. Neither is in Matera, so plan the Tyrrhenian drive rather than a Sassi start. ✅ Prerequisites No previous kayaking is required. You should be happy on the sea for two hours. Minimum age is 18. Mention injuries or a strong fear of enclosed spaces before you arrive. Cave mouths can feel tight. Why Choose Us Local guides know which grottos are open in a breeze and when to stay out of a tight mouth. Groups stay at 12 or fewer, so you are not lost in a raft of boats at a cave entrance. The caves are the line of this slot: limestone rooms you reach only by kayak, a pocket turtle beach when the sea allows, and two hours on the Tyrrhenian water rather than a look from the cliff road. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included About two hours of guided sea kayaking on the Maratea caves line Kayak, paddle and buoyancy aid for the session Local guide for the full outing Safety briefing before you launch, with shared or private rates as shown in the widget ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Food and drinks Personal travel insurance Photos or souvenirs ### Kit list Swimwear and a towel Water, sun cream and a hat Shoes that can get wet Mask or goggles if you want them (optional) Dry clothes for afterwards ## FAQs ### Do I need kayaking experience? No previous kayaking is required. The outing is paced for first-timers as well as regular paddlers, and the line is adjusted to the group and the sea. You should be happy on the water for about two hours. Cave mouths can feel tight, so say so if enclosed spaces worry you. ### What is the minimum age? Minimum age is 18. That is a hard rule on this product, not a guideline. If anyone in your group is under 18, this is not the right outing for them. Under-18s should not be assumed onto this caves line. ### Where do we meet? In high summer (15 June to 31 August) you meet at Spiaggia Nera, also called Cala Jannita, Via Malcanale, Maratea. From 1 September to 2 November you meet at Porto Turistico di Maratea, Via Porto Arenile 35. The two spots are a short drive apart. Set the satnav from your confirmation. Transport to the meeting point is not included. ### How long is the tour and what will I see? About two hours, with the focus on sea caves you reach by kayak: Grotta del Bacio, Grotta di Giorgio, and other inlets, plus a stop at Spiaggia d'I Vranne, a beach often used by loggerhead turtles for nesting. Sea state decides how far into the caves you go. Treat named grottos as the intended line, not a guaranteed tick list in swell. ### How many people are in a group? Shared groups are up to 12 guests. That keeps the raft of kayaks manageable at cave mouths. A private option, if offered on your date, is the same coastline with your own party. Solo paddlers are welcome on the shared outing when it is running. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear, a towel, water, sun cream, a hat, and shoes that can get wet. A mask or goggles helps if you want a look in the shallows at a beach stop. A change of clothes for afterwards is useful. Kayaks, paddles and buoyancy aids come from the operator. ### What if the sea is rough? This is a sea kayak tour. Wind, swell and thunderstorms can stop a launch or keep you out of the narrower caves. Light cloud is often fine. Do not assume every grey morning is called off, and do not launch if you have been told the sea is unsafe. ### What is included? Kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid and a local guide are included for the two hours, with a safety briefing before you launch. Food, drinks and transport to the meeting point are not included. The grottos are the line of the outing, not an optional extra. ### Will we go inside the caves? When the swell allows, yes. Grotta del Bacio and Grotta di Giorgio are the named stops, reached only from the water. The guide reads each entrance before anyone goes in. A lively sea can keep you out of the tighter mouths. You still get cliffs and clear water even if a cave stays closed. ### Is this suitable for beginners? Yes. The line is kept comfortable for mixed abilities, with a briefing on land before you launch. You should still be happy on the sea for about two hours and willing to approach cave mouths. If the swell builds, the guide stays out of the tighter grottos rather than asking beginners to squeeze in. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/87f3f4d9-7503-4c1b-817a-0bc26ac10e0b-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
