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.

Marvelous way to see a more personal and beautiful side of the Amalfi with local insights!! - My wife and I were picking up our college-aged son who was studying abroad in Spain and decided to bring him along with his brother to Italy for a side-trip, since we had never been. We're an active family and were looking for unique experiences and this fit the bill. Very fairly priced and we applaud Alessio (owner and guide) for his work and pride in promoting his hometown. He was very attentive and mindful of his guests safety as he proactively rescheduled our booked excursion due to windy conditions. He was flexible and offered either a refund or to take us out the next day. We opted to go out the next day and LOVED it! Alessio offered a lot of information on local history and current conditions of the Amalfi Coast as he brought us out along the coast. The trip to the grotto was amazing and landing on the private beach with snorkeling, snack, and aperitif were wonderful. Wholeheartedly recommend this adventure and wish the best of luck to Alessio and his business!!!

Wonderful time kayaking along the amalfi coast with a very friendly guide! - My wife and I spent a day exploring the Amalfi coast in kayaks with one of the friendliest guides you will ever meet. Alessio was so informative and answered any questions we had about Italy. He offered us snacks and drinks along the way which were fresh and delicious. I strongly encourage anyone to try kayaking the Amalfi coast with Alessio if you get the chance!

I loved it! - An unforgettable experience – absolutely recommended!
This kayak tour was really one of the most beautiful adventures of my trip! Already at the meeting point you noticed that it will be something special: Alessio, our guide, was totally warm from the beginning, in a good mood and took care of every single person with so much dedication. The introduction was short, understandable and super relaxed – really doable for anyone, with or without kayaking experience.
Then we started along the fantastic Amalfi coast – we learned so much exciting along the way, even paddled into Pandora cave (a real highlight!), and Alessio took photos of us all the time. He just wanted us to feel comfortable and really enjoy this tour.
Really nice was our picnic on a beach where you can only get there by boat. There was a lovingly prepared picnic with fresh fruit (from Alessio’s mom!) and ice-cold limoncello spritz. It was just fantastic!
This tour was so special, so warm, so beautiful – I will never forget that. Who is on the Amalfi Coast: take this tour! You really do. Danke, Alessio!

One of the Best Days of our Honeymoon - Alessio is an amazing guide! As an amateur kayaker he gave a thorough but quick lesson on the “how to-s”. He was very reassuring when the waves got bigger when the boats came by. He’s advice was awesome and we never flipped the boat. He had dry bags and floatable dry pouches for phones along with the bottled water. He took us on an amazing tour of the coast line and shared a lot of the local history including Pandoras Cave and Dead Horse Bay. The cove we snorkelled at had lots of little fish and some smaller caves to check out. He also had a lemon spritz and fresh fruit waiting for us. All in all, it was a fantastic tour. The tour with Alessio will forever be a great memory of our honeymoon!

Excellent experience - Hands down the highlight of my trip! Alessio has great knowledge of local history, sent me beautiful pictures of the trip, and even helped me with a bus timetable. He also had patience with my below average kayaking skills 😊. Highly recommend!

10/10 recommend! - If you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to explore the Amalfi Coast, I highly recommend the kayak and snorkeling tour to Pandora’s Cave with Alessio. He’s a fantastic guide—super friendly and full of local knowledge.
The tour includes paddling along the stunning coastline, exploring caves, and a stop at a secluded beach where Alessio serves fresh fruit and a homemade lemon spritz. He also takes photos throughout the trip and shares them with you afterward, so you have great memories to look back on. It’s a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation—definitely a highlight of any Amalfi visit!
