The stunning Amalfi coastline reveals its best secrets from water level, where paddlers discover hidden coves and dramatic cliffs unreachable by land. Small-group paddleboard tours and private kayak excursions offer the most intimate way to explore this magnificent stretch of Italian coast. I particularly love the 6-hour kayak tour from Vietri – it provides enough time to really experience the coastline’s grandeur while stopping at secret swimming spots along the way. The Procida Island and Palinuro trips stand out for their crystal-clear waters and remarkable sea caves. Every tour includes quality gear, basic training, and snacks, making them perfect for both first-timers and experienced paddlers. Let’s look at our favorite kayaking adventures in Salerno.
