What To Expect

This Capri and Blue Grotto cruise meets in the designated meeting location in Sorrento. Once you meet your guide and small group (limited to just 12), board your boat and get ready to cruise the water near Italy.

First, pass by the White Grotto on your way to see the Natural Arch, Faraglioni, and Marina Piccola. Stop for a little swim here, which gives you the comfort of being able to jump back on your boat at anytime you feel like it.

Next, continue to see the Punta Carena Lighthouse and the Blue Grotto. See the historical cave—a true highlight of this adventure.

Let down. Very small...

Brooke_B, Aug 2023

Let down. Very small boat, advertizes food and drink but they’ll only let you have 2 beers. Driver did not listen to customers at all

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Brooke_B, we deeply apologize if the tour Capri Fun & Swim with Blue Grotto did not reach your expectations. Our boat are all the same, homologated for 12 people on baord. In our itineraries it is clearly explained that the lunch is not included, but only dry snacks and soft drinks. We value your opinion regarding the tour and we see it as an opportunity to learn and improve. We hope to have you soon again as our customers as we can change your mind.

Fun little boat trip

Nina_H, Jul 2023

We were total of six persons on a small cozy boat. We thought it was perfect for our tour. The guide was an older man who was very kind and funny, he’s English was so so but we kind of understood him. Luckily there was an Italian guy among us who helped with the translation. All in the group decided to skip the blue grotto because the wait time was over 1 hour and I’m glad we skipped it because we could then swim more in the beautiful sea.

A wonderful tour!

Catherine_C, Jul 2023

A wonderful morning! The boat and captain were lovely and we had a great time! Pick up and drop off was very easy.

Highly Recommend!

Bo_C, Jun 2023

The boat excursion was simply breathtaking! We planned this on my daughters birthday, and there was not a better way to spend it! The captain and co-caption take you on a tour of Capri and show you all the beautiful caves and explain the history of them. They give you plenty of time to take all your Instagram ready pictures and you even get to swim in the bluest of blue water! We ended the boat excursion with handcrafted limoncello! We even ended up on the boat alone which made the whole day even that more special! There is plenty of room on the boat and they offer drinks and snacks.

Fun boat excursion

Bobby_J, Jun 2023

This was a terrific experience for our group. We went around the island and stopped for several key sights and a dip in the sea. Please note: you do not get off the boat to check out Capri on this tour. The line for the Blue Grotto was remarkably long and I am glad we did not waste our excursion baking in a long line. This was a great choice for us.

Wonderful way to experience the amazing views around the entire island!

Sue_K, May 2023

Our guide (Vincento) and captain (Antonio) were excellent! Antonio is a very capable captain and their pride and knowledge of all the hidden gems of beautiful island was evident throughout the trip!

Beautiful Views

Tanya_L, Sep 2022

Even though we could not get into the blue grotto the day of the tour we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the boat tour around Capri island. It was beautiful and our captain made it a point to show us every unique cave that the island offered. The half-day experience was perfect. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys being on a boat and loves beautiful views.

À faire sans hésiter !

Nicolas_M, Aug 2021

Superbe petit parcours autour de l’île de Capri avec deux haltes pour profiter d’une mer sublime ! Le skipper était très sympathique, il nous a mis à l’aise de suite et était aux petits soins pour nous ! À faire et à refaire sans hésitation !
