Kayak Tour on the Amalfi Coast

Sea kayaking on the Amalfi Coast reveals a side of this famous coastline that no boat can access. Low in the water, you slip into sea caves and under limestone arches, paddle into hidden coves where the cliff walls rise straight from the sea, and hear nothing but the sound of your paddle and the waves. BlueKeys partners with expert local guides for guided kayak tours departing from Positano, Praiano and Amalfi.

Sobre nuestros tours en barco

The Amalfi Coast's dramatic geology makes it one of the finest sea kayaking destinations in the Mediterranean. Limestone cliffs drop sheer into the water, riddled with caves and natural arches that a kayak is perfectly designed to explore — places too narrow or too shallow for any motor boat. Most guided tours depart from Positano beach or the small port of Praiano and follow the coast to a series of sea caves, snorkelling stops and hidden beaches accessible only by water. Highlights include the Fiordo di Furore — a dramatic narrow fjord carved into the cliff where a waterfall meets the sea — and the sea caves between Praiano and Positano that glow an unearthly blue when the sun hits at the right angle. Guides lead groups of four to eight paddlers and take care of all equipment; no previous kayak experience is required for the beginner-friendly routes. Book a kayak tour on the Amalfi Coast.

For more experienced paddlers, BlueKeys arranges half-day and full-day kayaking expeditions covering greater distances along the coast, including sections accessible only in calm conditions. These tours typically include a packed lunch at a hidden beach, snorkelling in protected marine areas and stretches of paddle that reveal the coastline from perspectives unavailable even from a boat. Kayaking is an excellent complement to other activities on the Amalfi Coast: combine a morning paddle with an afternoon boat trip to Capri or a sunset cruise from Positano for a perfect full day on the water. After the kayak, the gelaterie and trattorias of Positano's main beach are the ideal reward. Find accommodation near Positano.

What to bring: a swimsuit, reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, sunglasses with a strap and a waterproof phone pouch. All guides provide kayaks, paddles, life jackets and wetsuits if the water is cool. Water and snacks are included. Half-day group tours start from approximately €55 to 75 per person; full-day expeditions from €100. The best months are May to June and September to October when seas are calmer, temperatures are comfortable and morning departures enjoy reliably settled conditions.

Safety is paramount on BlueKeys kayak tours. All guides are certified sea kayaking instructors with first-aid training. Before departure you receive a safety briefing and paddling technique coaching. Tours are cancelled or rerouted in poor sea conditions. BlueKeys kayak operators are committed to leaving the coast as they find it: no collecting of marine life, no touching of cave formations and paddle paths that respect nesting birds on cliff ledges. The privilege of accessing these extraordinary places comes with the responsibility to protect them.
