About this experience

Surf Lessons in Vivara is a guided surfing course based on the island of Vivara, a nature reserve off the coast of Procida in the Gulf of Naples. The lessons take place in the sheltered waters between Vivara and Procida, where consistent swells suit beginners and intermediate surfers. Instruction covers paddle technique, wave reading, and board control, with all sessions led by certified local surf coaches.

What to expect

Each lesson lasts 2 hours, including a 20-minute land-based briefing on safety and wave etiquette before entering the water.
A soft-top surfboard and full wetsuit are provided, sized to your height and the season's water temperature.
You paddle out from the pebble beach at Spiaggia di Ciraccio, passing the rocky cliffs of Vivara's southern shore.
Groups are capped at 6 students per coach, ensuring individual feedback on pop-up timing and stance.
Suitable for first-timers and surfers with up to 10 prior sessions; no swimming test is required, but you must be comfortable in open water.
After the lesson, you rinse off at the outdoor freshwater shower and can store your gear in the on-site lockers for the rest of the day.
