History
Amalfi was one of medieval Italy’s Maritime Republics; the coast’s towns developed as seafaring and lemon-trade hubs between Byzantine, Arab and Norman influences.
Conservation
The coast hosts Posidonia seagrass meadows essential to marine life — avoid anchoring on grassy beds and use reef-safe products to reduce local impact.
Reserve your spot on the Small Group Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Positano or Praiano today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive Early for Check-in
Check-in times are strict (Positano 9:45am, Praiano 9:15am); the boat cannot wait for latecomers so plan transport and buffer time.
Bring Cash for Grottos
Visits to the Emerald Grotto often require an on-site entrance fee paid in cash — bring small euros if you hope to enter.
Wear Non-Slip Deck Shoes
Decks can be wet after swims; lightweight shoes with grip make boarding safe and more comfortable.
Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Strong Mediterranean sun and shallow bays make high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen important for skin and marine habitats.
