Spend an enchanting day discovering the natural caves of the Amalfi Coast up close. We’ve created a custom boat excursion for travelers who want to explore all the hidden caves and grottoes along the Amalfi Coast. Truly experience the beauty of this coastline firsthand while seeing natural arches, swimming into caves, and enjoying tiny coves with the finest swimming spots. Along the way, you will see private villas and historic watchtowers, charming fishing villages, and the majestic coastline with soaring mountains dropping straight to the sea. Enjoy a swimming adventure and find out local legends, all while surrounded by the incredible beauty of the Mediterranean and Amalfi Coast. Hungry? Around lunchtime the boat can pull into a little bay and you can have a local lunch before re-boarding the boat and continuing your cruise. We can also customise by allocating the time you have based on what you are most interested in seeing along the itinerary.

  • Amalfi Coast, Italy
    The Amalfi Coast is dotted with stunning sea caves, each offering a unique natural beauty perfect for exploration. I listed some of the most popular ones but since the coast is limestone it is full of bays, grottoes, and more...too many to list here...come experience them! The sea caves add to the Amalfi Coast’s allure and are best experienced by boat to fully appreciate the beauty of their light, colors, and natural formations.
  • Amalfi, Amalfi, Italy
    Explore Sant’Andrea Grotto, it is a cave that takes its name from Amalfi’s patron Saint, Andrew. Swim into the cave and walk around inside to explore more.
  • Conca dei Marini, Conca dei Marini, Italy
    As you approach Conca dei Marini, you will come upon this natural limestone arch called Lover’s Arch... some say it is the most romantic spot in the coast.
  • Via Marina di Conca, 5, 84010 Conca dei Marini SA, Italië
    Exclusive Cruises will be your hosts for the day for a private 6-hour boat excursion exploring the Amalfi Coast and its beautiful sea grottoes and caves. This is a private boat tour that can be fully customized to your interests. Below is only a suggested itinerary with a selection of highlights from the day that you can experience. Note: Sights are marked "Pass By" simply because you can decide to spend as much or as little time as you would like. Exclusive Cruises will help you plan a relaxed tour custom fit to your travel desires. This is one of our favorite excursions because the grottoes of the Amalfi Coast are not mass publicized like the grottoes of Capri. They are "off the beaten path" and less crowded, making this a more authentic experience that one would not normally have the opportunity to do unless on a private boat excursion. Throughout the day you will have the opportunity to stop and swim, explore caves and grottoes, and experience the beauty of this unique coastline. Here are some highlights of the experience and sights you will enjoy: - Pandora's Grotto: Admire this impressive cave just past the town of Maiori, which is big enough for small boats to enter. - Marmorata: A beautiful spot on the coast with an almost tropical feel. Swim below the cool water of a little waterfall cascading into the sea. - Sant’ Andrea Grotto: Just west of Amalfi is a cave that takes its name from Amalfi’s patron St. Andrew. Swim into the cave and walk around inside to explore more. - Lover’s Arch: As you approach Conca dei Marini, why not enjoy a swim under the arch in this very romantic spot? - Grotta dello Smeraldo: Called the Emerald Grotto for the way the light shimmers in deep shades of green. Climb aboard a small row boat for a short tour. (Note: There is a €5 entrance fee for the tour.) - Grotta Africana: Named after the iconic Africana nightclub located nearby, this cave is gorgeous to swim into and see the light reflected on the water in shades of blue and green. - Natural Tunnel: Between Praiano and Positano, a little tunnel in the rocks that you can swim through. - Laurito Grotto: Swim into this little grotto near Positano. It is cold, as there’s a natural water source inside. - Fornillo Grotto: Beneath an ancient watchtower overlooking Positano's Fornillo Beach, this is a popular local spot to explore. - Punta Germano: When viewed from the right angle, this rock formation not far from Positano looks like a face in profile. Nearby there are beautiful turquoise swimming coves and rocky beaches.   - Nerano Grottoes: The natural landscape of the Baia di Ieranto and Nerano area near the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula have many incredible spots for swimming and exploring, including a variety of caves and grottoes. - Undisturbed Coastline: The Amalfi coastline is beautiful, with crumbling 14th-century lookout towers in the middle of lemon and olive groves brushing shoulders with luxury villas and five star hotels.

This tour was the best day of our entire Italy trip. Lucia and Samir were gracious hosts and made the trip enjoyable for our large family with 4 adults and 6 children ranging from ages 8-13. The boat was a perfect size and Samir knew all of the places to go!

Nice day on the sea. Experienced capitano, willing to stop for swim and organized lunch for us. Grottoes itself stunning.

Luigi was our boat captain and since he had grown up in Maori, he knew all kinds of interesting details about the different places we passed in his boat. We stopped several times to swim in grottos, beaches, jump off a (short) cliff, and take tinder to shore to eat lunch a "locals only" type of spot that was fantastic. Luigi did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again if I get the chance.
