• Amalfi Coast - The Amalfi Coast is adorned with breathtaking sea caves, each offering a distinct natural beauty ideal for exploration. While some of the most popular ones are listed, the limestone coast is abundant with bays, grottoes, and more… too numerous to mention here… come and experience them! The sea caves enhance the Amalfi Coast’s charm and are best explored by boat to truly appreciate the beauty of their light, colors, and natural formations.

• Amalfi - Discover Sant’Andrea Grotto, a cave named after Amalfi’s patron Saint, Andrew. Swim into the cave and explore its interior.

• Conca dei Marini - As you near Conca dei Marini, you will encounter a natural limestone arch known as Lover’s Arch… some claim it is the most romantic spot on the coast.

• Exclusive Cruises - Exclusive Cruises will host you for a private 6-hour boat excursion exploring the Amalfi Coast and its stunning sea grottoes and caves. This private boat tour can be fully tailored to your interests. Below is a suggested itinerary with a selection of highlights from the day that you can enjoy. Note: Sights are marked “Pass By” because you can choose to spend as much or as little time as you wish. Exclusive Cruises will assist you in planning a relaxed tour customized to your travel desires. This is one of our favorite excursions because the grottoes of the Amalfi Coast are not widely publicized like those of Capri. They are “off the beaten path” and less crowded, offering a more authentic experience that is typically only available on a private boat excursion. Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to stop and swim, explore caves and grottoes, and experience the beauty of this unique coastline. Here are some highlights of the experience and sights you will enjoy:

• Pandora’s Grotto: Admire this impressive cave just beyond the town of Maiori, large enough for small boats to enter.

• Marmorata: A beautiful coastal spot with an almost tropical ambiance. Swim beneath the cool water of a small waterfall cascading into the sea.

• Sant’ Andrea Grotto: Just west of Amalfi, this cave is named after Amalfi’s patron St. Andrew. Swim into the cave and explore its interior.

• Lover’s Arch: As you approach Conca dei Marini, enjoy a swim under the arch in this very romantic location.

• Grotta dello Smeraldo: Known as the Emerald Grotto for the way the light shimmers in deep green shades. Board a small rowboat for a short tour. (Note: There is a €5 entrance fee for the tour.)

• Grotta Africana: Named after the iconic Africana nightclub nearby, this cave is stunning to swim into and see the light reflected on the water in shades of blue and green.

• Natural Tunnel: Between Praiano and Positano, a small tunnel in the rocks that you can swim through.

• Laurito Grotto: Swim into this small grotto near Positano. It is cold, as there’s a natural water source inside.

• Fornillo Grotto: Beneath an ancient watchtower overlooking Positano’s Fornillo Beach, this is a popular local spot to explore.

• Punta Germano: When viewed from the right angle, this rock formation near Positano resembles a face in profile. Nearby, there are beautiful turquoise swimming coves and rocky beaches.

• Nerano Grottoes: The natural landscape of the Baia di Ieranto and Nerano area near the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula offers many incredible spots for swimming and exploring, including a variety of caves and grottoes.

• Undisturbed Coastline: The Amalfi coastline is stunning, with crumbling 14th-century lookout towers amidst lemon and olive groves alongside luxury villas and five-star hotels.

• Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto) - Known as the Emerald Grotto for the way the light shimmers in deep green shades. Board a small rowboat for a short tour.

• Fiordo di Furore - A secluded inlet carved into towering cliffs. Unlike typical fjords formed by glaciers, this one is the result of erosion, creating a narrow gorge that opens into the turquoise sea, with steep rock walls enclosing a small pebble beach.

• Maiori - Pandora’s Grotto, another enchanting cave accessible only by sea, filled with stalagmites and coral lining the rocks.

• Praiano - The coast along the village of Praiano is filled with natural grottoes, perfect for swimming inside or simply admiring from the comfort of your private boat.

• Grotta di Fornillo - Beneath an ancient watchtower overlooking Positano’s Fornillo Beach, this is a popular local spot to explore.

• Marmorata - A beautiful coastal spot with an almost tropical ambiance. Swim beneath the cool water of a small waterfall cascading into the sea.
