Amalfi Coast: Boat and Snorkeling Tour with a Captain

1. Amalfi Coast: Boat and Snorkeling Tour with a Captain

Board an Amalfitan Gozzo boat for a scenic ride along the Amalfi coast. Admire natural wonders, including the Natural Arch and Faraglioni Rocks. Swim and snorkel or relax on the shores of 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. Up to not too long ago young couples used to get married on the top of it. 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 the islands of Li Galli and Capri, together with the well-known Faraglioni Rocks. 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.

Furore: Flight of the Angel Zipline Experience

2. Furore: Flight of the Angel Zipline Experience

It is an attraction suitable for everyone, from the smallest to the largest. No physical effort is required, you just have to enjoy the flight and admire the landscape of the Amalfi Coast. Thanks to a special harness you will be secured to a trolley that runs freely along a solid steel rope in the gorge of the Furore fiord, giving you moments of pure adrenaline. The attendants had to wear the necessary equipment for the flight and for this fantastic "in the clouds" experience. The flight departs from Furore, in the Schiato area, and ends in Conca Dei Marini, in the Punta Tavola area. You can choose between single, couple, family, group, parallel (on two adjacent ropes), under 18, over 65 flights. Weight limit for flying 120 kg. It will be possible to reach our plant in Furore by own means, or by public transport, which stops right in front of our entrance. The structure consists of large green areas where, on sultry summer days, you can linger in the shade of the oaks and enjoy a cool refreshment.

What people are saying about Conca dei Marini

This was a very fun and exciting experience. The zipline is high and long so goes without saying that its not for those with a fear of heights. Worth planning your journey there beforehand whether you drive, taxi or walk. We decided to take the 1000+ steps to get there in the morning and arrived earlier than expected. We had to wait a little while to get ready but after that, everything worked very smoothly.

This tour was the highlight of our visit to the Amalfi Coast! Informative, fun, and a great way to see the Amalfi Coast. The staff were all incredibly kind, and the instructions to the meeting point were very clear. We had so much fun and learned a lot!

It was awesome. So worth the money and time going out there. The tour guide was professional. I will def. do this again in the future.

Experiência maravilhosa do início ao fim, organização, diversão, paisagens lindas! Dia inesquecível! Recomendamos muito!

Gorgeous views, entertaining captain, great way to see the coast!
