A guided stand-up paddle tour lets you explore that coastline at a motor-free pace, with an instructor beside you for balance tips, route choices and the confidence to kneel, stand, or mix both as the morning unfolds. You can book one, two or three hours depending on how much of this shore you want to see without an engine between you and the rock. 📋 Key Details Duration: 1, 2 or 3 hours (Select when booking) Location: Calaficarra, Marina di Maratea Minimum age: 5 years Group size: 2 to 8 guests Difficulty: Easy, beginners welcome 🏊 What to Expect After a beach briefing at Lido La Bussola you collect a board and paddle, then follow your instructor along the rocky shore into quiet coves where the water changes colour in the shade of the cliff. The pace suits first-timers: nobody is racing to the furthest grotto, and there is time to find your balance before anyone pushes for a tighter cave mouth. When the swell allows, the route threads toward sea caves and dramatic rock formations that feel almost theatrical from a board sitting a few inches above the surface. Longer bookings simply give you more coastline to explore at the same unhurried rhythm. You return to the lido at the end of your chosen slot with salt on your arms and the cliff line still rising behind you. This is a peaceful paddle through one of Basilicata's wildest marine corners, not a fitness class and not a timed race to the last inlet before the bus leaves. 📍 Location Calaficarra sits on Maratea's Tyrrhenian shore, where steep pale rock meets clear water between Marina di Maratea and the wilder marine corners locals know by boat. From a SUP you slip into places the cliff road only hints at: coves that stay in shadow until midday, cave mouths that open and close with the swell, and stretches of coast where the only sound is paddle stroke and water on stone. The start is Lido La Bussola, not the Sassi of Matera. Allow a coastal drive and treat this as a proper morning on the Tyrrhenian rather than something you can tack onto a city-centre itinerary without planning the journey. ✅ Prerequisites No previous paddleboarding is required. Minimum age is 5. You should be comfortable on the sea for the duration you book, and happy to follow simple instructions from your instructor on the water. Cave mouths can feel tight even on a paddleboard. Your instructor keeps the… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided stand-up paddleboarding for 1, 2 or 3 hours as booked SUP board, paddle and buoyancy aid for the session Instructor for the full outing Safety briefing before you launch ### 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 Dry clothes for afterwards Mask or goggles if you want them (optional) ## FAQs ### Do I need SUP experience? No previous paddleboarding is required. The instructor gives clear guidance on balance, paddle strokes and how to kneel or stand as you build confidence. You should be happy on the water for the duration you book. If enclosed spaces make you uneasy, say so on the beach and your instructor will keep the group in open water. ### What is the minimum age? Minimum age is 5. Child and adult categories appear on some dates, which makes this a family-friendly option when the sea is calm. Younger children may share a board with a parent depending on conditions and instructor advice on the day. Let the instructor know on the beach if you are unsure about sharing a board. ### How long are the tour options? You can book a one-, two- or three-hour guided tour. Longer slots reach more secluded coves and sea caves along the Calaficarra coast. The one-hour option is the from-price in the widget. Pick the duration that matches how much of the coastline you want to see at paddle pace. ### Where do we meet? Meet at Lido La Bussola, Marina di Maratea, 85046. This is the Calaficarra stretch of coast, not Matera city or the tourist harbour on the other side of Maratea. There is no hotel pickup. Set your satnav to the lido rather than a generic Maratea pin. Arrive 15 minutes early for kit and a safety brief. ### How many people are in a group? Shared groups need at least two guests and take up to eight paddlers, plus the instructor. That minimum of two means solo bookers may need to join an existing slot. The small cap keeps the line manageable near rocky shore and cave mouths. Private arrangements may be possible through other rates on your date. ### What is included? Stand-up paddleboard, paddle and buoyancy aid for the session, plus an instructor for the full outing. A safety briefing happens on land before you launch. Food, drinks and transport to the lido are not included. Wetsuits may depend on season; bring swimwear unless told otherwise in your confirmation. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear, a towel, sun cream, a hat and shoes that can get wet. A light rash vest helps in summer sun. Dry clothes for afterwards are useful. Leave loose jewellery on the beach. A mask helps if you want a look in the shallows near a cove stop. ### What if the sea is rough? This is a sea paddle along an exposed rocky coast. Wind, swell and thunderstorms can stop a launch or keep you out of tighter cave mouths. Light cloud is often fine. The instructor reads each entrance before anyone goes in. A grey morning does not always mean the day is off. ### Will we visit sea caves? When conditions allow, yes. Calaficarra's coastline has dramatic rock formations, quiet coves and marine corners you reach only from the water. Exact caves visited depend on swell and group ability. A lively sea can keep you in open water with cliffs and clear Tyrrhenian views instead. ### Is transport from Matera included? No. The meeting point is Marina di Maratea on the Tyrrhenian coast, a drive from Matera and the Sassi. Plan your own car or taxi. Public transport is noted as nearby, but timetables can be thin. This is a coast morning, not a ravine start. ## 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/2026/08/0cf2f71a-43ea-466a-ab56-7bfa2f502cc4.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.
