Highlights
-
Torre dei Normanni - We pass by Maiori’s Norman Tower, a mighty defensive bastion that protected the town from attacks from the sea, especially by Saracen pirates. Its construction is dated between 1250 and 1300 and since then it has been a characteristic element of Maiori’s landscape to the point of being immortalised in several paintings.

- Clear Water beach - We will visit the Sulfur Cave, a tiny grotto located right after the Norman Tower. Here from rock flows a sulfur water source that is considered miraculous for its good effects to the skin care. Local people used to drink it with some lemon juice to reduce its smell or just have a bath in the natural swimming pole inside the cave.
- Grotta Pandora - We will see the rock formations that make Pandora Cave a pristine natural gem. Safely we’ll enter the cave, one at a time and under the supervision of the guide.
- Spiaggia Cavallo Morto - We will stop by Maiori’s Dead Horse Beach fo a break. The name is the child of several stories. The most credited one has it that the beach was the place where, starting in the 1800s, the bodies of equines torn apart by work along the mule tracks of the Amalfi coast were thrown. Snorkelling equipment will also be available for those who want to see the beauty hidden in the water, and an aperitif with snacks and fresh fruit to relax on the beach.

A wonderful, unforgettable family experience - the perfect way to explore the Amalfi coast. - A truly wonderful day spent peacefully paddling along the coast, exploring the caves and relaxing on the lovely secret beach with a freshly-made drink. Thank you Alessio for a lovely day out! It was a great experience as a family (2 children, age 9 and 12), very manageable and safe for them, with no pressure and plenty of time to rest and explore. We also really enjoyed snorkelling on the beach.
Our only recommendation for improvement might be that Alessio (who was so lovely and helpful!) have a partner/ assistant to help him with setting up and arriving back, as this seemed like too much work really for one person, and we thought perhaps an assistant for this would make the whole process a bit smoother. But apart from that, it was all really perfect!

amazing day amazing guide beautiful views. - We had an amazing experience during this kayak trip. the cave you stop at is beautiful and the beach you stop at to snorkel and swim is a beautiful bay with amazing views! the water is extremely clear and there are many fish to look at. The guide was also amazing and takes good care of everyone's wellbeing. It was a hot day when we went and the guide brought cooled water and drinks for when we were at the beach. We did this in August so parking was difficult so make sure you are on time so you have time to find a parking space by the busy almalfi coast. the tour guide did wait for us while we were looking for parking spot, that was very nice of him! 10/10 would do again

Family fun kayak tour - The kayak tour was a highlight of our Amalfi coast vacation. We enjoyed the 3 hour trip up and down the coast. Our two families had five boys ages 8-15 participate, but Alessio was so patient with the children. He tailored our trip to include our young children. He changed the course of the journey so everyone could enjoy the experience. We took an easier route, and was pleased with his recommendation. The fruit, drinks, and ambience were amazing on the beach at our pit stop. We stayed in Maiori and it was very easy to find the meeting point in Minori. Alessio took many photos and emailed them to us after our experience. I highly recommend!

Dream kayak trip! - Very pleasant experience, away from the crowds of the coast: warm welcome and attentive supervision towards all and very competent by Alexis, adorable, who punctuates the exit with information on the local history, the sites of interest lining the route etc. The landscapes are beautiful, the cave of Pandora (hyper pleasant swimming) is well worth the Grotta Azzurra, and the beach of the stop snack (fresh fruit) and refreshments (real lemoncello spritz or non-alcoholic lemonade) is paradise with its crystal clear turquoise and emerald water. In short, we feasted!

Bravo Alessio - That was great. Alessio is amazing. I highly recommend this activity if you are fit enough to kayak with waves. Beautiful explanations about the surrounding towns during the kayaking and snorkeling trip to a beautiful beach. Then visit a beautiful cave in kayak. Exceptional view.

Family of 6 kayaking - It was fun and different. Loved the private cave and cove snorkeling experience. The equipment was extensive with dry bags, water bottles, fruit, camera water proof bags, safety equipment and lemoncello spritz. Really nice guy with a heart of gold. Truly kind businessman who made you feel welcome and at home in Minori.
