Getting out on the water is the best way to experience the Amalfi Coast, and Praiano serves as an excellent launch point. The main options include private trips to Capri or full-day coastal excursions – both worthwhile splurges that let you escape the crowds and see this stunning coastline as it should be seen. I’m especially fond of the full-day tours that combine swimming stops at secluded coves with visits to the Fiordo di Furore and Emerald Grotto. The better tours provide everything you need (snorkel gear, drinks, knowledgeable captains) while keeping the schedule relaxed and flexible. Let’s look at my recommended boat tours from Praiano.
