About this experience

You will discover the Amalfi Coast’s hidden delights and breathtaking views safely from the seat of your sea kayak, thanks to the comprehensive experience and knowledge of local guides and instructors from the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation. The route will take us along Amalfi’s finest beaches as well as close to natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast. We will pause at beaches reachable only by sea and have time to go snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters.

What you'll see and do
Amalfi
Once we have put on our life jackets and adjusted the footrests on our kayaks we will be ready to set off to the west towards the Runghetiello Grotto. For those who have never been in a kayak there will be a short introductory lesson on how to kayak and safety at sea. The route will take us along Amalfi’s finest beaches as well as close to natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast. We will pause at beaches reachable only by sea and have time to go snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters. Not too far from the starting point, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, we will kayak by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing. Up to not too long ago young couples used to get married on the top of it.

Conca dei Marini
A little later we will paddle in front of the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, passing near the villa of Sophia Loren and seeing the historic hotel “Il Saraceno” located on La Vite Beach. From here we will also have a stunning view of the Santa Rosa Monastery, a former convent now converted into a luxury hotel, once home of the Dominican nuns. It's right in the kitchens of this monastery that the delicious "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" was born, a shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta cheese-based cream and little dried fruit pieces, typical of the local culinary tradition (don't forget to taste it before leaving!). Once past the seaside of Conca dei Marini we will enter its western basin, where we will finally find and visit the Runghetiello Grotto, a picturesque natural sea cave named after a local fish, brightly frescoed in red and green by the minerals on its walls. The return trip to Amalfi will give us a different but equally remarkable view of both sea and land.

Fabulous experience-worth it!
This was a fantastic experience. There were 7 people in our group, my family being 5 of them and we had 3 guides. Each, so friendly, fun, informative and adaptable to the different needs of the family group. We actually went in the opposite direction to what had originally been planned due to the higher level of traffic and the coastguard advice. This didn’t make a difference to the experience as we still visited lovely coves, a waterfall and had a beach stop where we could snorkel. The guide took lots of photos which we are really looking forward to seeing. All in all a fantastic experience - if ever we get the opportunity to come again we will definitely book this again! Highly recommended

Enjoy the Water!
Or was great to get out on the water and see the coast from a different angle. The team was very professional and the beach was awesome.

Wonderful ocean adventure
The sea kayaking was such a wonderful experience for my family. The tour guides were knowledgeable, funny and so helpful. These guides took their time to help everyone , great crew! The group size was perfect, allowing us to see the sights without having to wait for a large mass of people to share the experience. The time seeing the Amalfi Coast from the sea is such a unique and beautiful perspective. I just wish could have spent a little more time at the beach enjoying the sea.

Everything was awesome! The guides gave us the low down on the cities in the area as well as their history.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amalfi.
How much does Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amalfi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amalfi is not rushed.
Is Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 199 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Amalfi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches?
+
Around 70 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amalfi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amalfi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amalfi Coast Kayak Tour: Explore Caves, Arches & Hidden Beaches start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amalfi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amalfi?
+
On Outty we rank every Amalfi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hands-On Cooking Class & Farmhouse Tour on the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi Coast Boat Rental: Explore, Swim, and Relax at Your Pace, Amalfi: Kayak-Snorkeling to Pandora Cave Hidden Beach & Aperitif. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amalfi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amalfi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
