Additional Information

The POLIGNANO kayak trip is a fascinating tour, not physically demanding and therefore also suitable for those who have never gone kayaking. Included in the price is the SEA KAYAK COURSE FOR BEGINNERS guided by a 2nd level sea kayak instructor of the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation. On the way we will show you hidden caves and ravines, all to be explored! After putting on the life jackets and entering our kayaks, we will be ready to sail southwards alongside the splendid and very high coast of Polignano. We will pass by the famous beach of Lama Monachile, we will visit Arcivescovado Cave, Palazzese Cave and will swim into the clear water of the Sotto Favale Cave. This trip gives great emotions and allows you to navigate the blue waters of the coast of Polignano looking at the very high rocky coast that separates the city from the sea.

N.B.
The experience is not suitable for people weighing more than 100kg

  • Bring watershoes (gym shoes as an alternative)
  • Bring only not too big bags. I will keep non-bulky valuables such as cell phones and car keys while the small bag or backpack can be stored in the hatches of the kayaks or in the trunk of the trailer. Be careful because in the hatches the backpack could get damp or wet and the trunk of the trailer is not guarded.
  • Please read our FAQ-Rules page on Santa Caterina Sea Kayak website
  • Not suitable for people over 100kg

40 minutes from port but worth it!!! - We had such a fun time. We learned the basics of kayaking in a mini course first and then enjoyed some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. Our kids, ages 12 and 10, were also able to really enjoy it. CRUISE PASSENGERS MAKE NOTE: if you are porting in Bari this experience is about 35-40 minutes drive from the port and taxis are very expensive so plan ahead. It was totally worth it!

Perfect way to see the sea caves - We absolutely loved the kayak tour with Marco. Our ages ranged from early 20s to 60 and we all had a fabulous time. Couldn't rate it more highly - what a great experience!

Awesome Kid-friendly Kayaking around Polignano! - One of the best tours during our 17 day vacation! Marco was great and and super friendly with our kids (12 and 15 years-old).... a fantastic Kayak instructor who quickly taught us the fundamentals needed. The sites and coastline were incredible but my kids really loved exploring and swimming in the caves/coves....as well as diving off the rocks into crystal clear water. A fantastic and enjoyable experience that I highly recommend!

Puglia Kayaking, a must do experience! - I organized kayaking as a pre wedding event and it was incredible 5 star experience! Most of the group were beginners but felt confident as instructor took time to explain all the basic strokes. #backtofront #fronttoback We kayaked along the coast and through caves, where the water was crystal clear. Something only accessible through this unique experience. This is a must do if you come to Puglia!

Amazing experience, perfect for all abilities - We really enjoyed our kayaking experience. The instructors were fantastic, so helpful and knowledgeable. Getting out of the kayak and swimming in the cave was a particular highlight and gave our arms a nice break. It wasn’t a challenging kayak so would be perfect for any ability but expect your shoulders to be aching the next day. Would definitely recommend this experience

Great experience - Our guide Marco was funny and knowledgeable. He took us through caves and a area we could get out of our kayaks and swim. It was a great experience! Make sure to wear water shoes, the rocks are sharp and slippery.
