Very educational, went into a cave, had 3 hours to explore amalfi town for lunch, be sure and go into amalfi church, st Andrew! Did not swim as water was cold, but had the option! Highly recommend

Perfect day! - Perfect weather. Great guide. Friendly couples on board. Views were out of this world. Turquoise and deep blue water everywhere we went, especially in the three different grotto destinations we swam in. Our guide brought hundreds of little blue fish to the surface for us to snorkel around. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Exceptional value.

Amazing views and captain! - We had an incredible day on the water thanks to Cristian (our captain). He made the boat trip along the entire coast very memorable and informative. We were able to stop to swim on the way up the coast. Spent two hours in Amalfi to explore the city, then able to swim again on the way back into Praiano. We really enjoyed the second stop to swim, as Cristian was spending time answering our questions and telling us more about himself and his life in Positano. We also enjoyed feeding and trying to catch the fish with some little Italian snacks. This is a can’t miss activity when in Positano/Praiano!

Absolutely worth it! - Absolutely worth it, we had an amazing time during the 6 hours trip (late departure due to raining conditions), our skipper Antonio managed to stick to the itinerary even when the weather conditions were tricky. Recommend!

Best way to see the Almalfi Coast - Spend the day taking in the spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast! I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a relaxing day seeing the Coast and swimming in the Mediterranean. First, our guide, Antonio, was friendly and attentive. He made sure we were having a great time with lots of swimming stops and stories/history of the Coast, while keeping us safe as a highly-skilled captain! Next, there were 12 of us on the tour and everyone got along well. We were all there to enjoy the views and waters, share snorkels, and snap photos for each other. Thankfully, the boat was large enough to allow for everyone to comfortably relax and enjoy. Lastly, we had a little over two hours in Amalfi, which was more than enough to grab lunch and take in the town. Overall, the pacing of the trip was perfect for a delightful day. Truly, this was one of the best days of our trip and filled with lots of fun, happy memories we'll cherish for years to come!

Amazing day with a Coast feeling. - This was a great excursion. It felt like a private tour although we were a small group. We were 12 spreaded on the cushions at the front or the benches at the back of the boat. The driver and his friend were nice and helpful. The tour basically is along the coast, we were given some explanation of what we saw, then stopped swimming and so on. We were offered beer and pop, and some snacks as we returned with prosecco. It was fun, lighthearted and felt like truly being on holidays. We had the choice of either going for lunch to Amalfi or at Conca dei Marini. A couple went to Amalfi, but the rest of us went to Conca dei Marini. We all went to the same restaurant suggested by the company. That wasn' great. It was very very slow. Bills were confused. I was glad we had the set menu, it was easier. I liked their peach wine, a first for me. But all of us barely had time to swim. I would suggest if you go there to either go to another restaurant (I think there are 2) or bring your lunch. The swimming spot is great and its worth having some time to explore it. On the return, more swimming in crystal clear water and cave explorations. I highly recommend it!

Great experience, worth it! - The boat trip was amazing, one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! the skipper is very relaxed, knowledgeable and accommodating, provided generous amounts of soft drinks and alcoholic including beer and prosecco. Included snorkeling equipment and noodles during 4 swim stops. 2 hours in Amalfi was plenty of time to have a good lunch and avoid the crowds. Book this to see the amalfi coast in the best way possible!

Best honeymoon experience!! - This boat ride was the most AMAZING experience with my husband for our honeymoon! There was about 12 of us and Danilo (captain) made it the most INCREDIBLE and most HILARIOUS boat tour ever!!! We went all along the coast and Danilo set us up with the most delicious lunch spot and we had a great time with the other people there. I 100/10 recommend and cannot say enough good things about all the views and Danilo who made it special for us!

A MUST DO if you're visiting the Amalfi Coast! - Were were in Italy for two weeks and this was the absolute best day of the entire trip. We cannot recommend this excursion enough! We got picked up by a dinghy and brought out to the actual boat that we'd be on all day- wow! There were 12 people on the trip (excluding the skipper, who was amazing!), and the boat fit us all with so much room to spare. We stopped off 3-4 times to just swim in beautiful little coves (it was unreal!) and got to have a 2.5 hour lunch break in Amalfi. I've seen some reviews on here that said that was too long, but I thought it was the perfect amount of time! We got to eat a nice relaxed lunch and had plenty of time for shopping and seeing the main area of town. Also, they take you along the whole of the Amalfi Coast- we go to see almost every town from the water and WOW was it incredible! The pictures don't do it justice at all. It was breathtaking. Along the way the skipper offered us beer, prosecco, soft drinks, water, snacks, etc.! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect boat day. If you're even slightly considering booking this- do it!

Great way to see Amafi by Sea - The boat and views are stunning! It was awesome to jump into the Mediterranean Sea a few times to cool off. The boat driver wasn’t as interactive as I expected, it’s less a guided tour of each town and more a way to facilitate views and swimming. I still recommend though. There aren’t many excursions leaving from Praiano, so this is very worthwhile to do.
