Fantastic day seeing the Amalfi coast!
Such a fun day! It ran exactly as promised, 2 hrs in Positano and 1 in Amalfi with a few swimming spots on the way there. The ride from Amalfi was straight back to Sorrento and took about 75 minutes. The bow was a great spot to take in the views and very comfortable. The special sights were also cheerfully explained to us along the way. Highly recommend as a very fun day out and especially for anyone who wants to check out the Amalfi coat without the harrowing drive.

Avoid the traffic, visit the coast by water.
Great time on the water around the beautiful Amalfi coast. Time to swim, time to shop, time to eat. The best day of our vacation.

Amazing and fun day trip!
It was a blast! They had plenty of drinks and a snack and the music was great and the staff was amazing. It was a super fun trip, especially snorkeling, tons of fish to see in the clear water! Plenty of space on board, definitely bring towels and sunscreen!

Wonderful day on the water
We had a great time on our Sorrento to Amalfi coast tour! We enjoyed our day swimming, exploring the towns, and enjoying the beautiful views of the coast. It was the highlight of our Sorrento vacation.

Beautiful, refreshing and relaxing.
Such an easy and fun trip. Anastasia and Leonardo were wonderful. We had two swimming brakes, both were beautiful areas and spaced out well. Our stops in Positano and Amalfi were the perfect amount of time. Anastasia kept us informed about what we were seeing and answered all of our questions. I will hire them again the next time I’m in Sorrento.

Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks?
+
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 Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks?
+
Around 4 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. 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 Sorrento?
+
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 Sorrento?
+
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.
What is included in Positano & Amalfi Boat Tour from Sorrento with Snorkel & Drinks?
