A kayak is the best way to uncover Positano‘s hidden corners. You set off from Spiaggia Grande with a local guide and follow the cliffs to beaches and grottoes that visitors staying in the village never see.
What you do
- Paddling and safety instructions on the beach.
- Paddle along the coast to Arienzo and other coves reachable only by sea.
- Stops to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear water.
- Enter small grottoes when the sea allows, with GoPro photos and video taken by the guide.
Who it is for
Beginners and active people from about 8-10 years old with an adult. Very stable double kayaks are used; no experience needed, just a willingness to paddle at an easy pace.
What to bring
- Swimwear, rash guard and a cap.
- Water-resistant sunscreen.
- Sandals or water shoes.
- Only the essentials, which go in a dry bag.
Best time
May to October, early in the morning when the sea is flattest and boat traffic is lighter.
Good to know
Groups are limited to 10 people. For a bigger challenge there is a full-day Amalfi to Positano crossing. In wind or swell the tour is moved to another time or day.
