Tour the Sea Grottoes of the Amalfi Coast

Overview

Spend an enchanting day discovering the natural caves of the Amalfi Coast up close. We’ve created a custom boat excursion for travelers who want to explore all the hidden caves and grottoes along the Amalfi Coast. Truly experience the beauty of this coastline firsthand while seeing natural arches, swimming into caves, and enjoying tiny coves with the finest swimming spots. Along the way, you will see private villas and historic watchtowers, charming fishing villages, and the majestic coastline with soaring mountains dropping straight to the sea. Enjoy a swimming adventure and find out local legends, all while surrounded by the incredible beauty of the Mediterranean and Amalfi Coast. Hungry? Around lunchtime the boat can pull into a little bay and you can have a local lunch before re-boarding the boat and continuing your cruise. We can also customise by allocating the time you have based on what you are most interested in seeing along the itinerary.
