Guided kayak past Proratora, entering a marine cave for snorkeling, with local fruit aperitif and possible dolphins near San Teodoro.

We arrived at the beach meeting point on time at 09.50 and started at 10am We returned to the beach at 11.50 making our kayaking experience only 2 hours. We felt cheated. Yes, the experience was nice. The scenery beautiful. The Kayaks modern and safe but, we simply dod not get value for the money we had paid to Viator for this tour.”

Kayak the Amalfi Coast from Maiori, pass sea caves and waterfalls, then snorkel at a hidden beach with fruit and photos included.
“The kayak trip was a lot of fun. We had a group of 6 plus 3 guides that were all fantastic. On the way to Amalfi we stopped many times in the kayaks to see different towns and monuments and the guides gave lots of information. Then we stopped for a 40-50 min break at the beach and returned. I would recommend wearing a t shirt and bringing lots of sunscreen! There were people of all skill levels and they were very patient and always had our group under control. This is a great activity to try even if you are a novice or have never kayaked before”
Sea kayak the Amalfi Coast for 3 hours, with caves, arches, hidden beaches, snorkeling stops, and guide photos included.

Everything was incredibly well-organized, making for a smooth and enjoyable journey. A major highlight was their English communication, which eliminated any potential problems and made interactions effortless. Carlos and his team were consistently very helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If I ever have the chance to go back, I will definitely choose them again without hesitation! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless and pleasant travel experience.”
