AMALFI: COAST & CUISINE
Amalfi Coast & Positano: Boat Tour with Snorkeling & Drinks
4.9 (2,681) · from $100
The Amalfi Coast Cuisine snorkeling tour is a small-group boat day on a traditional wooden gozzo that cruises the cliffs between Amalfi and Positano, with swim and snorkel stops in coves and, on the longer versions, free time ashore. It is one listing with four start towns and two lengths, so the option you click decides almost everything.
The rare attribute that changes the decision is the split between half-day and full-day versions. Amalfi and Positano departures are the short, cruise-and-swim trips; Sorrento and Salerno departures are the long ones, with a fast leg by speedboat and about 1.5 hours in each of Positano and Amalfi.
If you just want the evening light, the operator's Amalfi Coast Cuisine sunset trip is cheaper, and the Amalfi Coast boat tours hub compares every operator. You can also return to the home page.

What is the Amalfi Coast Cuisine snorkeling tour?
It is a shared gozzo cruise with several swim stops, sold by AMALFI: COAST & CUISINE in a half-day form from Amalfi or Positano and a full-day form from Sorrento or Salerno.
The itinerary blends all four options into one list, so I read it as a menu; not every stop applies to every option.
- Positano - swim stop of 30 minutes plus a 20-minute drinks stop on the Positano leg. Positano on Google Maps.
- Praiano - 30 minutes of cruising past hidden coves. Praiano on Google Maps.
- Furore and its fjord - a 30-minute leg and a visit to the Fiordo di Furore. Furore Fjord on Google Maps.
- Conca dei Marini - a 30-minute swim and snorkel stop and a 20-minute drinks stop. Conca dei Marini on Google Maps.
- Amalfi - 10-minute safety briefing and a 30-minute sightseeing leg; on full-day versions, free time ashore. Amalfi Port on Google Maps.
A 40-minute "speedboat" leg also appears. I read it as the fast transfer for the Sorrento and Salerno options, because Amalfi and Positano departures do not need it; the listing does not say so, so check your option's description.
Where does the Amalfi Coast Cuisine snorkeling tour start?
It starts in Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento or Salerno, and the listing gives no street address for any of them in this product.
The same operator's sunset listing names the small-boat Darsena pier in Amalfi. This listing does not repeat that, so confirm your pier in the voucher.
For Amalfi, the walk from the ferry port to the Darsena pier is 577 m, about 8 minutes on foot by OSRM foot routing. The Travelmar ferry service serves Positano and Amalfi if you want to reach a start point by sea.
How long is the Amalfi Coast Cuisine snorkeling tour?
The tour runs 4 to 8 hours, and the half-day trips are the short end of that range.
| Option | Starts in | Type | What the listing says |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half day | Amalfi or Positano | Cruise and swim | Focused on the stretch between the two towns |
| Full day | Sorrento or Salerno | Cruise, swim, time ashore | About 1.5 hours free in Positano and 1.5 in Amalfi; lunch at your own cost |
GetYourGuide's review summary notes that some tours end earlier than guests expected and asks for clearer timing. Ask for the finish time in writing, and plan any onward ferry or train at least an hour after it.
The listing states no operating season. The most recent verified bookings are dated 16 October 2026, so the tour is running now. If you plan a trip between November and March, check with the operator that swim stops are offered.
What is included on the Amalfi Coast Cuisine snorkeling tour?
Included are snorkeling gear, flotation devices, drinks, fruit, an English- and Italian-speaking crew, a canopy, a toilet and a shower; lunch is not included.
| Item | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mask and snorkel | Included | Swim stops are part of the route |
| Floating devices | Included | Helpful for weaker swimmers |
| Prosecco, limoncello, beer, soft drinks, water | Included | The drinks stops are 20 minutes each |
| Fresh fruit | Included | No full meal is offered |
| Lunch in Positano and Amalfi | Not included | Eat ashore on the full-day option |
| Toilet and shower | Included | On board |
| Pets, strollers, large bags | Not allowed | Oversize luggage is refused |
The includes field, the description and the itinerary agree, so I treat the drinks list as reliable. The only gap is accessibility: the listing says nothing about step-free boarding, so ask.
How does it compare with other Amalfi Coast snorkeling boats?
At $100 this is the cheapest per hour of the day-long shared options and the best reviewed by volume.
| Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This snorkeling day | from $100 | 4 to 8 hours | 4.9 (2,681) | up to 12 |
| Sea Horse caves and beaches tour | $101 | 4 to 6 hours | 4.8 (653) | up to 10 |
| Capri island tour, same operator | $144 | 6 to 8 hours | 4.8 (492) | small group |
| Private boat trip with prosecco and snorkeling | $802 | 6 hours | 5.0 (38) | private |
The Sea Horse day tour costs $1 more for a smaller boat of 10 guests and departs only from Positano. The Capri version adds the island for $44. A private trip makes sense only for a group that splits the $802 boat price. See the snorkeling tours page for the rest.
Is the Amalfi Coast Cuisine snorkeling tour worth it?
It is worth it for most visitors: the price per hour is about $17 at the 6-hour midpoint, and the review volume is the largest of any boat trip on this coast.
| Tour | Price | Hours | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| This snorkeling day (4 to 8 h) | $100 | 6 | $16.7 |
| Sea Horse caves and beaches (4 to 6 h) | $101 | 5 | $20.2 |
| Capri island trip (6 to 8 h) | $144 | 7 | $20.6 |
| Median of 8 shared tours | $21.5 |
I'd book the half-day from Amalfi or Positano if you are staying on the coast and the full-day from Sorrento or Salerno if you are not. The one caution is visibility: one reviewer noted poor snorkeling visibility on the day, which no operator can control.
11,231 ha of cliffs, terraces and villages form the Costiera Amalfitana World Heritage property, inscribed in 1997.
The boat route follows that protected coastline, so the scenery is as much of the product as the swimming.
When is the best time for the snorkeling tour?
July and August are the driest and warmest months, with 5 to 7 rain days, while June and September also work for swimming.
| Month | Avg high | Rain days | Rain | Sunset (local) | On the water |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 12.8 °C | 13.8 | 128 mm | 17:00 | Winter: cold water and low odds of a swim stop; ask the operator whether the tour runs |
| Feb | 14.2 °C | 10.9 | 104 mm | 17:37 | Winter: cold water and low odds of a swim stop; ask the operator whether the tour runs |
| Mar | 15.6 °C | 13.1 | 115 mm | 18:09 | Winter: cold water and low odds of a swim stop; ask the operator whether the tour runs |
| Apr | 18.7 °C | 11.5 | 70 mm | 19:41 | Cool and showery; swim stops are short, ask the operator whether snorkeling is offered |
| May | 22.0 °C | 12.6 | 91 mm | 20:12 | Pleasant air, cooler water; swim stops feel fresh |
| Jun | 27.7 °C | 5.4 | 34 mm | 20:35 | Warm sea and fewer rain days in June; September is warm but wetter (131 mm) |
| Jul | 30.5 °C | 4.8 | 22 mm | 20:33 | Hottest and driest stretch; best swimming, strong sun, use the canopy at midday |
| Aug | 30.7 °C | 6.7 | 35 mm | 20:01 | Hottest and driest stretch; best swimming, strong sun, use the canopy at midday |
| Sep | 26.4 °C | 9.7 | 131 mm | 19:12 | Warm sea and fewer rain days in June; September is warm but wetter (131 mm) |
| Oct | 22.3 °C | 10.6 | 111 mm | 18:23 | Still swimmable (sea 22.6 C on 17 Oct) but 14 rain days on average |
| Nov | 17.7 °C | 16 | 234 mm | 16:45 | Cool and showery; swim stops are short, ask the operator whether snorkeling is offered |
| Dec | 14.5 °C | 11.6 | 144 mm | 16:36 | Winter: cold water and low odds of a swim stop; ask the operator whether the tour runs |
The sea was 22.6 °C on 17 October (Open-Meteo Marine API, fetched 2026-10-17), which supports short swims. Air and sea cool quickly from November, when the data show 16 rain days and 234 mm. Free cancellation a day ahead covers a bad forecast.
