Once at the dock we got quickly checked in and could grab a quick snack. Our guide for the day was so awesome. I’m sorry for forgetting his name but I remember him saying he was 29 (I’m writing this review a few days later). He took great pics and videos of us and gave a great run down of what we were seeing and with a ton of comedy. Our first stop…”

6.From Sorrento: Positano and Amalfi Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,500 reviews · 8 hours · from $62

Spend eight hours traveling by shared boat from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi, with about two hours in Positano and two and a half in Amalfi. You get coastal views, town time, and a simple way to avoid the Amalfi Coast road. This is transport, not a guided tour, so plan your own walks, lunch, and sightseeing.

“We both had a brilliant trip. From our pickup at Sorrento first. The only issue was the number of vessels trying to get docked simultaneously; delaying our landing time and thus our free-time to explore the Positano area. We managed a quick walkabout exploring the port area and shops and streets. Positano was stunning to look at and there is a lot more to see and explore on another visit. We only stopped for a takeout coffee and croissant, in the town due to the short stay (was supposed to be 2hrs), but ended up 1hr 30 mins, before heading back to what seemed like the chaos at the ferry…”
