Explore sea caves around Praiano

The coastline on either side of Praiano is riddled with sea caves, rocky inlets and grottoes that most visitors never see — because you simply cannot reach them from the road. A private boat is the key that unlocks them.

Caves you can only reach by sea

Small openings in the cliffs, hidden arches and shaded pools sit just below the coastal path, accessible only from the water. Depending on the sea, your skipper can nose the boat close to the rock or pause outside a grotto so you can look inside — somewhere the crowds never go.

Smaller boats, closer views

The beauty of a private tour is the freedom to slow down. Where a large group boat has to keep moving, yours can linger by an interesting formation, let you snorkel around it, or tuck into a sheltered corner for a swim in glassy water.

Conditions decide the route

Sea caves are at the mercy of the swell, so the exact ones you can approach change from day to day. That is part of the appeal: your skipper reads the conditions and picks the best spots on the morning itself, so every trip is a little different.
