   TOUR OVERVIEW: The tour may depart from Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento or Salerno depending on the selected option (availability may vary by date). The route and order of stops will vary accordingly.

Highlights along this stretch include the vast Saint Andrew’s Grotto, the striking Arc of Lovers, and the scenic village of Conca dei Marini, where you’ll spot Sophia Loren’s villa and the historic Il Saraceno hotel.

2. Stop 2 · 40min

   The picturesque bay of Conca dei Marini opens into panoramic views of Furore, Praiano, and the islands of Li Galli and Capri, with a glimpse of the iconic Faraglioni Rocks.

   Nearby lies the dramatic Furore Fjord, Italy’s only natural fjord. Towering cliffs surround a narrow inlet, over which stretches a high bridge — the site of the international diving competition MarMeeting, where athletes from around the world plunge 28 meters into the sea below each July.

4. Stop 4 · 20min

   Continuing along the coast, the boat cruises past the quiet village of Praiano, offering a close look at the Africana Grotto. Inside this larger sea cave, the water takes on an intense blue hue thanks to a unique play of light and underwater rock.
