About the sunset kayak tour
2 hours duration | Free cancellation until 24 hours before tour
We will leave from Marina Grande di Sorrento in the kayaks two hours before sunset. We will reach the Bagni della Regina Giovanna, where the Roman villa of Pollio Felice stands, dating back to 41 – 54 AD. We will explore the heart-shaped natural pool with emerald green water, which we will access by kayak passing through the small opening in the cliff. It is an enchanting place where there will be opportunities to take a swim, freely explore the villa, and take many photographs.
We will wait for the golden hour, admire the sun setting into the sea, and under a fiery red sky we will return to Marina Grande to conclude the kayak excursion.
