The experience
What's the best way to see the Sorrento coastline without renting a boat yourself? Paddle out from Marina Grande on a guided kayak tour built for beginners. You'll spend two hours on the water, moving at an easy pace along hidden coves and secluded beaches, with your certified instructor pointing out the geography and history as you go. The route stays close to shore, and the water is calm enough that you can focus on the moment instead of the mechanics.
The main stop is Bagni Regina Giovanna: a natural lagoon carved into the cliffs where you'll leave the kayak and swim in crystal-clear water. This is also the site of a Roman villa built by Pollio Felice, and the ruins sit right there on the rocks above the pool. You get time to float, explore the water, and take in the scale of the place without any rush. Your guide stays with the group and captures photos and videos throughout the day, which you'll receive in HD after the tour ends.
Everything you need is provided: kayak, paddle, life jacket, dry bag for your belongings, and a waterproof phone case so you can bring your phone without worry. You'll get an introductory lesson before you leave shore, a hot shower afterward, and access to changing areas and toilets. The guide speaks English and Italian, and the group stays small, never more than 15 people, so the pace stays relaxed and questions get answered.

Is this one for you?Most kayak tours on the coast run with larger groups and charge extra for photos and a guide who speaks your language. This one keeps the group under 15, includes a certified instructor who speaks English and Italian, and gives you professional photos and videos at no extra cost, so the only thing you arrange is showing up at Marina Grande.
