Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour with Snorkeling & Drinks
Her favourite tour in Positano. Coves and caves came one after another, and the coastline looked completely different from the sea.

Traveller reviews from the tours listed here
These are travellers' accounts of the day they booked. The three- and four-star ones stay: a note that the Rome day left only photo time on the coast, or that boarding by tender was hard for older travellers, tells you more about choosing than another line of praise.

Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour with Snorkeling & Drinks
Time in the towns, snorkelling and scenic swim stops, and nothing felt rushed. Their day ran the full eight hours, which is worth knowing when you book.

Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour with Snorkeling & Drinks
Great fun, but pack a dry bag: the wind got up on the way back to Positano and everything on deck got wet.

Private Boat Tour To Capri Departing From Positano
A professional skipper full of facts about Capri made the day. When the weather turned, the company simply moved them to the next day.

Private Boat Tour To Capri Departing From Positano
They sailed from Positano right round Capri, with a swim and lunch at a beach restaurant. On the way home there was one more swim, after a short look at the island.

Private Boat Tour To Capri Departing From Positano
A lovely way to see Amalfi and Capri. The island itself was very busy, so the best of the day was the boat and the water.

★★★★☆
Small Group Guided Pompeii Tour from Positano
A van from Positano and only nine on the tour, so everyone could hear the guide and ask questions. The pace through the ruins was brisk.
Julia L. · Traveller · April 2026
★★★★★
Small Group Guided Pompeii Tour from Positano
The guide knew everything about the city and made the most of two and a half hours. Her only regret was that it was not longer.
Heidi B. · Traveller · April 2026
★★★★★
Small Group Guided Pompeii Tour from Positano
It rained, and the guide knew exactly where to go in the wet spells and where in the dry. Back at the hotel in under an hour.
Janet E. · Traveller · October 2025
★★★★★
Small-Group Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Positano
A day out with a few other families, swimming in caves and visiting the Emerald Grotto. Lunch was at a restaurant you can only reach by boat.
Amy P. · Family · August 2026
★★★★★
Small-Group Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Positano
Two swim stops with masks, noodles and towels, a cooler of drinks and snacks. The Emerald Grotto cost €10 and was worth it.
Juliana C. · Traveller · July 2026
★★★★☆
Full Day Capri Island Cruise from Praiano, Positano or Amalfi
A good ride to Capri with a friendly crew, though four hours on the island was not enough to see it all. Buy the island bus pass at the ticket office.
April G. · Traveller · May 2026
★★★★☆
Full Day Capri Island Cruise from Praiano, Positano or Amalfi
Capri was beautiful and the swim was a highlight. Transferring to the boat by a smaller tender was not easy for older travellers.
Betsy H. · Traveller · June 2026
★★★★★
Capri and Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Day Trip from Sorrento
High tide had closed the Blue Grotto on their day. They swam and visited a small waterfall instead, and still had a very good day.
Lydia W. · Couple · August 2026
★★★★★
Capri and Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Day Trip from Sorrento
Semi-private was the right size: drinks aboard, quick entry to the grotto, plenty of swimming, and door-to-door service from the hotel.
Aimee R. · Traveller · August 2026
★★★★★
Pompeii Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting from Positano
A guide who made Pompeii interesting, then a walk through a vineyard and a lunch with paired wines. The driver spoke little English.
John L. · Traveller · June 2025
★★★★☆
Pompeii Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting from Positano
The right length for a must-do day. Vesuvius is seen from a distance, and the winery lunch was so generous that dinner was not needed.
Marc L. · Traveller · May 2025
★★★★☆
Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome
A very long, hot day but worth it, with a personable guide. Bring water for the coach, and expect only a short time on the coast.
Randee S. · Traveller · September 2026
★★★☆☆
Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome
The tour itself was good, but it packs too much into a day: an hour and a half on the coast is time for photos. She would stay at least a night.
Jelena M. · Traveller · September 2026
★★★★★
From Sorrento: Positano & Amalfi Coast Boat Tour with Pick Up
They cancelled a driving tour and took this boat instead. No traffic, no bends, and the travel time became part of the day.

From Sorrento: Positano & Amalfi Coast Boat Tour with Pick Up
The captain and his assistant explained every town and island they passed, and looked after her carefully as she walks with a cane.
Anamaria S. · Traveller · September 2026
★★★★★
Private 40hp Boat Tour of the Amalfi Coast and Positano
The skipper was great from start to finish. Their three children called the boat day their favourite part of the trip.
Jill M. · Family · July 2026
★★★★★
Amalfi Coast Private Boat Tour
The skipper picked them up at a pier near their villa, showed them nine villages, and waited patiently while they swam.
Marion W. · Traveller · May 2026

Naples to Positano/Sorrento Transfer via Pompeii (or Vice Versa)
Ninety minutes in Pompeii on the way in turned the transfer into a day out. The driver set them down as close to the hotel as possible, so there were few stairs.
Parisa B. · Traveller · June 2025
★★★★★
Private Transfer From Positano Hotels to Naples
Clear messages about where and when the pickup would be, help with the luggage, and an offer to stop for food or a restroom on the way.
Sarah E. · Traveller · August 2024
★★★★★
Cooking class with Pasta, mozzarella and Tiramisu with wine
A fun host who made pasta simple for a group of twelve. The class is an hour and a quarter or more from Positano, which is worth knowing first.

From Naples: Sorrento, Positano & Amalfi Premium Tour
Loved the whole day. The hardest part was finding the guide at the Naples port meeting point.
Christina E. · Traveller · September 2025
★★★★★
Capri Deluxe with Blue Grotto from Sorrento Positano & Amalfi
An enthusiastic guide who kept everyone on time and gave the history of each stop, from Capri to Anacapri and round the island by boat.
Lynn J. · Traveller · May 2025
What travellers keep saying
They count the swims
Caves to swim into, a grotto, two or three stops with masks and noodles: reviewers of the boat days measure them by how often they got in the water, far more than by the hours on the listing.
They name the crew and the drivers
Skippers who found the quiet coves, a guide who knew where to go when it rained in Pompeii, drivers who set people down close to the hotel to save the stairs. The difference between a good day and a flat one is told almost entirely in those terms.
Long days from Rome split opinion
The Rome coaches are praised for their guides and criticised for the time on the coast: an hour and a half to two hours is time for photos and a walk to the beach. Travellers who could stayed a night instead.
Capri is busy, the water is not
Several Capri reviewers say the island was crowded and the best of the day was on the boat. When the Blue Grotto was shut by the tide, the crews swam them into other caves instead.
