This 3.5-hour kayak tour along the Amalfi Coast leads to Pandora's Cave, featuring paddling through coastal caves, rocky shorelines, and quiet beaches. The tour begins with a paddle past the Norman Tower in Maiori, a defensive structure built between 1250 and 1300 to protect against sea attacks, especially from Saracen pirates. Next, the group visits the Sulfur Cave, a small grotto where sulfur-rich water flows; this water has traditionally been used for skin care, either by bathing in the natural pool inside or drinking with lemon juice to mask the smell. Participants then proceed to Pandora Cave, where they can observe unique rock formations. Access to the cave is controlled, with guests entering one at a time under the guide’s supervision for safety. The tour includes a stop at Maiori’s Dead Horse Beach for about an hour. The beach’s name comes from stories dating back to the 1800s when the bodies of working equines were reportedly discarded there. Visitors can use provided snorkeling gear to explore underwater areas around the beach. During the break, an aperitif with snacks and fresh fruit is served on the shore. Included in the tour are kayaks, paddles, life jackets, waterproof bags, a floating waterproof case for smartphones, snorkeling equipment, bottled water, an aperitif with snacks and fruit, professional photo shooting or action camera use, and luggage storage. Sunscreen and towels are not provided. The tour is suitable for all ages and skill levels but requires participants to be able to swim and in good physical health. Those with medical conditions such as obesity or cardiovascular problems are not permitted to join for safety reasons.
