Snorkeling Amalfi Coast: Swim Sofia Loren's waters

Jump into the water at five named stops and float above the coast's clearest stretches

A six-hour boat tour along the Amalfi Coast with multiple snorkeling stops in clear water, equipment provided, and refreshments on board. You'll swim near the Villa of Sofia Loren, explore the Fiordo di Furore, and dive from a historic tower, with the option to spend an hour on land in Positano.

Step-by-step itinerary

Amalfi Coast boat tour and stops

• Board the boat and start tour

• Hear story of Fiordo Di Furore
• Admire tower from the water
• Stop for another swim
• Visit Positano town on land
• See the first city on Amalfi coast

The experience

The boat leaves with a small group and heads straight for the water. Your first stop is the coast beneath the Villa of Sofia Loren. The water there is the kind of clear that makes the seabed visible from the surface. You get snorkeling equipment on board, so you just step in. There are four more stops like this, each one a different stretch of the Amalfi Coast: the Fiordo di Furore, where the water runs into a narrow gorge; a tower you'll see from underwater; and two other bays where the group dives in for a swim. Between stops, the boat moves slowly along the coastline so you see the cliffs and villages from the water itself.

Drinks and fresh fruit snacks come out while you're on board, not a meal, but enough to keep you going through the afternoon. Beach towels are there when you climb back up. If you want to set foot on land, you can spend about an hour in Positano, the town that sits on the cliffside above the water. Most people skip it and stay on the boat for the swimming, but the option is there.

A live guide in English, Spanish or Italian narrates the route and tells you what you're looking at. The whole thing runs six hours from start to finish. Infants can come along if they sit on an adult's lap, and the boat works for any fitness level. You're swimming in your own time at each stop, not racing or diving deep.

What's the water actually like for snorkeling on the Amalfi Coast?

The water is clear enough to see the seabed from the surface at most stops. The coast has five named swimming spots: the bay below Sofia Loren's villa, the Fiordo di Furore where water flows into a gorge, a historic tower you can see from underwater, and two other bays. The water temperature and visibility vary by season, but the operator chooses stops specifically for snorkeling.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear or is it provided?

Snorkeling equipment is included and waiting on the boat. You don't need to pack or carry it yourself.

Can I spend time in Positano, or is the whole day on the water?

Positano is optional. The boat stops there for about an hour if you want to walk around the town and see it from the land side. Most travelers stay on board for more swimming time, but you can choose to get off.

How long is the whole tour and what happens between swimming stops?

The tour runs six hours total. Between snorkeling stops, the boat moves slowly along the coastline so you see the cliffs, villages and landmarks from the water. The guide explains what you're passing and tells the story of places like the Fiordo di Furore.

What food and drinks are on board?

Free drinks and fresh fruit snacks are served while you're on the boat. It's enough to keep you going through the afternoon, though not a full meal. Beach towels are provided when you climb back on board after swimming.
