4.Positano and Amalfi Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,500 reviews · 8 hours · from $62Best value

Spend eight hours on a shared boat from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi, with about two hours in Positano and two and a half in Amalfi. You explore without a guide, so plan your own walks, cathedral visit, meal, and shopping. Paper tickets and early port arrival matter.

“A great way to take in both Amalfi and Positano in one day! Easy pick up of tickets, then comfortable ferry between all three locations. Just enough time in each place to get a taste for it but perhaps not enough time for a sit down meal (this didn't bother us personally). Make sure to arrive at dock / port 10-15 mins before departure time as boarding was very busy at Amalfi. Definitely recommend though!”

“It was a great day out, guide Simon was fun, approachable with questions and gave good advice. Definitely worth adding on Ravello, just a shame the Rufolo garden ticket wasn’t included in the price which I thought it was. Although only €8 each, I’m glad we added this in as it was my favourite part with gorgeous flowers, parterres and views.”

“We had a great day trip to Positano, Almalfi and Ravello with Alessandro. He was very friendly, fun and gave us lots of information about the Almafi coast. We had a great group of 8 people and got to know each other well by the end of the day. The boat trip in Almalfi was really worth doing, seeing the coastline from the water was an extra experience we weren't expecting. Lunch at the winery in the mountains was Alessandros suggestion and was excellent, lots of food, wine and good company with beautiful views. The singing in the car on the way back to Sorrento finished the day of perfectly!…”
