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.

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.

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.

This trip was amazing!!! The guide Roberto was hilarious and knowledgeable! We were on our honeymoon and he even had a special table set up for us at lunch and had champagne waiting for us! Flavio is a great driver and the ride is so comfortable! This was such a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience! Do the optional boat ride if the weather permits! It’s affordable and the best way to see the Almalfi Coast! Thank you Roberto and Flavio!

We managed to see a lot in a single day. While we traveled to three cities we felt like we had enough time to enjoy each. This tour was a great introductory to the area and we’re glad we did the tour first. Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient, and he went out of his way to ensure we had a good time. This is our favorite tour so far – and also the most affordable!

Roberto is a perfect guide! He is funny, full of energy and also provides so much interesting information to the group. The driver, Franco is also really kind and driving well. We enjoyed the hole day very much. I highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful tour!! Great guide and information, small group, and great stops in amalfi, positano, and other spots to swim (though beware of jellyfish!). Would highly recommend!!

Roberto was an excellent guide. He was full of energy and local knowledge. He made a long day really fun. Franco was a super driver and made sure we saw all the great views.
