Naples Private Shore Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano and Ravello
A private coastal journey through one of Italy's most celebrated UNESCO-recognized seascapes
This Amalfi Coast private shore excursion from Naples places you in the care of a dedicated driver who navigates 75 kilometers of dramatic Mediterranean coastline, from cliffside villages to hilltop gardens, all within a single day ashore.
Departing directly from the cruise terminal at Naples port, the itinerary covers three distinct destinations: the sun-bleached tiers of Positano, the historic center of Amalfi, and the elevated gardens of Ravello. Each stop offers a different perspective on a coastline that UNESCO has recognized as an outstanding example of Mediterranean landscape.
The coastal road winds through lemon groves and past stone vineyards before descending into each town. There is time set aside at every stop for independent exploration, photography, and a genuine sense of place without the constraints of a large group.
Ravello sits 365 meters above the Tyrrhenian Sea and delivers views that few other viewpoints on the coast can match. The Villa Rufolo gardens, with their Moorish-influenced terracing, represent centuries of layered history and remain one of the most visited cultural sites along the entire Amalfi Coast.
Tour Highlights
Travel along the full UNESCO-recognized Amalfi Coast, a 75-kilometer stretch of cliffs, coves, and cobalt waters between the Lattari Mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Explore Positano, a town built vertically into a mountainside, with tightly packed pastel buildings descending directly toward the sea.
Visit the 9th-century Sant'Andrea Cathedral in Amalfi and the Museo Arsenale Amalfi, a surviving medieval shipyard that reflects the town's maritime heritage.
Wander the cliffside gardens and Moorish-style terraces of Villa Rufolo in Ravello, perched 365 meters above the sea.
Travel entirely as a private group with a dedicated driver, providing flexibility and a more considered pace throughout the day.
Multiple stops along the coastal road provide opportunities to photograph the sea vistas, village architecture, and terraced hillsides that define this region.
Begin and end at Naples cruise port, with the return timed to ensure you are back aboard your ship before departure.
Itinerary
Your private driver meets you at the port upon disembarkation. The journey toward the Amalfi Coast begins immediately, heading south through the Campanian countryside toward the coastal road.
The first major stop places you in Positano, where the town climbs a steep mountainside above the water. Time is allocated for walking the narrow streets, browsing local shops, and taking in the sea panorama from various vantage points.
A stroll through the center of Amalfi includes the facade and interior of the 9th-century Sant'Andrea Cathedral and the nearby Museo Arsenale Amalfi. The surrounding lanes offer local produce, ceramics, and limoncello alongside the historical architecture.
The route ascends to Ravello, situated 365 meters above the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Villa Rufolo terraces and cliffside gardens provide panoramic views across the coast and a setting rooted in medieval and Moorish design influences.
Your driver returns you to the port in time for your ship's departure. The route back follows the coastal road before heading north through the surrounding region toward Naples.
