Highlights
-
Torre dei Normanni - We pass by Maiori’s Norman Tower, a mighty defensive bastion that protected the town from attacks from the sea, especially by Saracen pirates. Its construction is dated between 1250 and 1300 and since then it has been a characteristic element of Maiori’s landscape to the point of being immortalised in several paintings.

- Clear Water beach - We will visit the Sulfur Cave, a tiny grotto located right after the Norman Tower. Here from rock flows a sulfur water source that is considered miraculous for its good effects to the skin care. Local people used to drink it with some lemon juice to reduce its smell or just have a bath in the natural swimming pole inside the cave.
- Grotta Pandora - We will see the rock formations that make Pandora Cave a pristine natural gem. Safely we’ll enter the cave, one at a time and under the supervision of the guide.
- Spiaggia Cavallo Morto - We will stop by Maiori’s Dead Horse Beach fo a break. The name is the child of several stories. The most credited one has it that the beach was the place where, starting in the 1800s, the bodies of equines torn apart by work along the mule tracks of the Amalfi coast were thrown. Snorkelling equipment will also be available for those who want to see the beauty hidden in the water, and an aperitif with snacks and fresh fruit to relax on the beach.

Amazing adventure - Alessio is very gentle, he takes the care and safety of each of the members very seriously and also because we all understand Minori's story. The experience was phenomenal and enriching, the views of the coast and caves are spectacular.

Awesome Kayak Tour in Amalfi! - My husband and I had an amazing time on our kayak tour with Alessio! The views were stunning! He brings such a fun and wholesome energy to the group and shares a lot about the history of the area. Limoncello spritz was a bonus!

Must Do If You Love Kayaking - Truly a unique experience and one I’m so glad I was able to do. Expect a good amount of background history during your kayak ride to Pandora’s cave. It was pretty amazing inside the cave. I won’t say much more because I want you to enjoy the experience. And the private beach for snorkeling and lunch was a delight. I HIGHLY recommend. Our guide, Alessio was awesome. We had some choppy waters and safety and comfort was his first priority. He was warm and caring of our group. I wish we had more time at the beach but overall, it was a top notch adventure. Not too hard and not too easy. Perfect for me!!

A lot of fun in a beautiful place - I could not think of a better way to experience the Amalfi Coast. The tour was informal, fun, informational, and just really cool. We covered a decent amount of distance and explored a couple awesome caves, including the Pandora cave which was breathtaking. Then we had plenty of time to snorkel and explore the beach after a delicious lemon spritz. Alessio clearly cares about the quality of his tour and it showed!

Alessio was an excellent... - Alessio was an excellent host. He instructed us on the use of our kayaks, provided the necessary safety equipment including cold water and dry bags. He also shared with us his local knowledge and life on the Amalfi Coast. We had a perfect day on the water and our 3 & a half hour tour turned into 5 hours. Thoroughly recommend.

Magical paddle in beautiful Amalfi - It was a wonderful experience. A great way to see the coast and get some great photos and videos. We got to visit a large cave (grotto) and our guide pointed out a number of interesting areas along the way.
We stopped at a beach for about 1 hour to have a drink, some snacks and do some snorkeling where we saw some beautiful fish close to shore. All included at no extra charge. About 4 hours in total.
Then we paddled back in the beautiful Italian sunshine.
One note: while it's not difficult, if you get winded doing moderate exercise it could be challenging. I'm 66 and it was not a problem.
