Amalfi Coast: Boat and Snorkeling Tour with Fruit & Drinks

Amalfi Coast: Boat and Snorkeling Tour with Fruit & Drinks

Board a traditional Amalfitan Gozzo boat with a small group of max 10 people for a scenic ride along Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Admire natural wonders like the Arch and Fjord of Furore, swim, snorkel, or relax on secluded beaches. Once everybody has jumped on board and had a little briefing about how you're going to spend the day, you will be ready to set off to the west towards Positano. The route will take you along Amalfi Coast’s finest beaches as well as close to natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving you the opportunity to admire the old watchtowers that dot the entire length of this coast. You will pause at beaches reachable only by sea and have time to go snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters and into grottoes. Not too far from the starting point, right after leaving the center of Amalfi, you will get close to Saint Andrew's Grotto, a huge natural sea cave full of stalactites named after the patron saint of Amalfi (Andrea). Then, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, you will stop by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing. A little later you will cruise in front of the ancient fishing village of Conca dei Marini, passing near the villa of Sophia Loren and seeing the historic hotel “Il Saraceno” located on La Vite Beach. From here you will also have a stunning view of the Santa Rosa Monastery, a former convent now converted into a luxury hotel, once home of the Dominican nuns. It's right in the kitchens of this monastery that the delicious "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" was born, a shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta cheese-based cream and little dried fruit pieces, typical of the local culinary tradition (don't forget to taste it before leaving!). Once past the seaside of Conca dei Marini you will enter its western basin, where you will have a beautiful view of Furore and Praiano villages and Li Galli islands. Further inside this basin we will find the little Runghetiello Grotto and its tiny beach, where you will anchor for a break to go swimming or snorkeling. You will reach then the famous Furore Fjord, the only natural fjord in Italy and location of the international diving competition "MarMeeting": every year in July, professional divers from around the world compete by jumping from the top of the bridge which is 28 meters high. Navigating a little farther onward to the village of Praiano you will be able to have a close look at a bigger sea cave, the Africana Grotto, where the water has a distinctive blue color thanks to the unique refraction of light. Finally you will go round Capo Sottile and continue cruising to Positano, where you will have another break for snorkeling at a beach reachable only by the sea and so not crowded at all: La Porta. The return trip to Amalfi will give you a different but equally remarkable view of both sea and land.

We planned 24 hours in the Amalfi coast, and we spent 7 of these hours touring the scenic and beautiful towns of Positano and Amalfi! Antonio drove us around, sharing history and details about the towns. We shopped and stopped in great stores. He gave us space to wonder and get lost! We had a tight schedule and he gave us options on what we could do so that we could make it back to Sorrento to catch a 3:30pm train. The icing on the cake was having lunch at a local restaurant recommended by Antonio! WOW! The food and wine were delicious. We are sad we were not able to spend more time in this beautiful part of Italy! We are taking back great memories with my family! I highly recommend this tour! Nothing beats learning about the culture and history from a local tour guide!

Walter was very attentive, friendly, and engaging. He was prompt to address to my concerns. He stayed some extra time to take photos at the spot that I particularly liked.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience, our guide Sasa for Pompeii was amazing. And then the wine experience was magical. Would do it again !

5 out of 5 stars

The price should be reduced a bit due to the season. Many place like bars and shops were closed so you do not get the full experience.
