About this tour

This seven-hour small-group boat journey traces the dramatic Amalfi coastline, revealing sea caves, hidden coves, and fishing villages inaccessible from land. You'll navigate past the Triton and African Grottos, explore the UNESCO-listed Furore Gorge, swim through the Natural Arch, and glide beneath lesser-known settlements like Atrani and Minori before docking in Amalfi town for independent wandering. The Emerald Grotto is available as an optional add-on. Prosecco, soft drinks, and water feature throughout.

What to expect

Expect a leisurely seven-hour voyage on a modest-sized vessel with roughly two dozen fellow passengers. You'll motor slowly past dramatic limestone cliffs, stopping at accessible grottos and natural formations where you can jump in and swim (water shoes recommended). The Furore Gorge, nestled between vertical rock walls, feels almost otherworldly. Mid-tour, Amalfi appears ahead as your turning point—you'll tie up there for an hour or so to stretch your legs and grab lunch independently. The return leg retraces the coast. Seas can be choppy; if prone to seasickness, take preventative medication beforehand.
