Set Off Along Maratea’s Coast: Step onto your board and follow your instructor along Maratea’s rugged coastline, surrounded by rocky cliffs, clear water and natural inlets. Approach the coastal caves and rock formations that can be best appreciated from the water. The number of caves reached depends on the selected tour duration and sea conditions. Discover Hidden Coves: Continue towards secluded bays and small coves along the coastline. When conditions allow, stop to relax, enjoy the scenery, or take a refreshing swim.
