Boat-Hopping on the Amalfi Coast: Day Trip from Rome

Spend the perfect day on the Amalfi Coast on a carefully curated tour from Rome.

Most Amalfi Coast tours from Rome stick to the roads, seeing the crystal-clear waters of the coastline from above but hardly glimpsing its cliffside towns at all. This tour is different. You’ll take in the breathtaking coast from both land and sea for the most complete experience possible! Touring the Amalfi Coast on the water, you’ll have perfect views of the coastline’s most famous asset: its colorful towns. Along the way, you'll try a refreshing lemon granita, step onto dry land to explore the idyllic streets of Positano with plenty of opportunities to go sightseeing, do a bit of shopping, and maybe even splash in the sea if the mood takes you.

Carefully balancing the value and expertise of a guided tour with free time to explore and shop at your own pace, our full-day Amalfi Coast tour from Rome offers you the perfect day in paradise without the hassle of organizing your own buses, cars, and ferry rides.

Head from Rome to the Amalfi Coast by private coach bus with a guide by your side.

Your Amalfi Coast tour from Rome meets early in the morning where you'll find your friendly English-speaking guide and set off on a comfortable private bus with air conditioning. After arriving in Sorrento, you’ll enjoy a traditional lemon granita served in a lemon shell overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento. With no shortage of beautiful coastal views, this is the perfect first stop on your journey along the Amalfi Coast.

Go boat-hopping and soak in breathtaking views on the Amalfi Coast from the water.

Then, you’ll board a small ferry and relax as you watch the stunning Amalfi coastline stretch out before you, giving you a panoramic snapshot of the sights to come. Pass by pastel-hued villages cling to steep cliffs and hidden coves. During the ride, your guide will share fascinating stories about the region’s history, culture, and traditions. Be sure to have your camera ready—this is an Instagram-worthy moment.

Putter around the picturesque town of Positano.

After more time spent cruising the water, the next port of call on your Amalfi Coast tour is Positano! Following an orientation walk with your guide, you’ll have approximately two and a half hours of free time to explore the charming fishing village, a popular haunt among Hollywood’s biggest and brightest. Sample fresh seafood at a beachfront restaurant, shop the stylish boutiques, or simply slip into the sea for a quick splash!

As the afternoon draws to a close, you’ll meet your guide and board the boat one last time for a scenic cruise back to Salerno. Hop on the private bus for your return to Rome—you'll be back in the Eternal City just in time for dinner!

Please note: In the rare event of rough seas where it is impossible to travel by ferry, we will provide a private bus to take you up and down the coast so you won't miss a thing!

From November to March, the boats along the Amalfi Coast do not operate regularly. During this period, your exploration of the Amalfi Coast will be by bus to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience.
