When is the best time to book water activities in Positano?

The best time is from May to September when the weather is warm and sea conditions are calm. For the most popular tours, especially those with high ratings and limited availability, book at least a few weeks in advance. Sunset tours are particularly sought after, so reserve early to secure your spot.

How do I choose between the different boat tours in Positano?

Consider the duration and focus: shorter sunset tours are perfect for couples, while full-day trips to Capri or along the coast suit those wanting a comprehensive experience. Check the rating and reviews—top-rated tours like the Private Amalfi Coast Boat Trip (4.9 stars) are reliable choices. Also, look for free cancellation for flexibility.
