Staff are great, but company needs some attention
The team onboard was great! We saw the amazing Amalfi Coast from the water, which is the best way to see it imo! However, the company sent us out on a 6 hour tour without a functioning toilet, which should never be the case.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words about our crew. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the Amalfi Coast from the water. I’m sorry the toilet was unavailable during your tour. A guest put paper in it, causing a blockage. This can happen unexpectedly, though we understand it was inconvenient on a six-hour tour. We’re disappointed that this led to a three-star rating, but we appreciate your feedback.

The Perfect Day!
Noemi and Ciro were amazing on our boat tour today. So thankful for the ease of our time today along the Amalfi Coast and in Positano. There was plenty to see, and we got to swim in three different places along the way. Everything was provided on the boat—drinks, snacks, pool noodles & snorkeling equipment. Thank you for a perfect day, Noemi and Ciro!

Nice Day Trip
Nice boating experience. Plenty of swim time plus 2 hours to browse in town. Tour guide and boat driver very good.
via Viator
Great boat trip!
Positano was hot, packed and very crowded and this was a terrific opportunity to take in the Amalfi coastline by boat, enjoy the water (perfect temp) and sites. 12 guests and 2 crew. Option to snorkel or float and a stop at the town of Amalfi. Nice Prosecco start, a beverage midway through and ended with limoncello and great photos from the boat with Positano city background. Highly recommend.

Beautiful coast,...
Beautiful coast, spectacular blue water. Loved the snorkeling most. Mary was great! Informative and friendly. Not so much a fan of Positano (beautiful BUT large crowds). Would have enjoyed more time on water or smaller town/beach. The small pebble beach on way back to Amalfi was great. My family enjoyed finding sea glass on the shore.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amalfi.
How much does Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink cost?
+
Prices start at $192 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 & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amalfi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink?
+
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 & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink?
+
Around 30 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour Caves Snorkeling & Drink 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, Authentic Cooking with Locals: Meal, Wine & Scenic Views. 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.
