Capri Blue Grotto Small-Group Boat Day Tour From Sorrento
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
The perfect tour to experience Capri in the early morning and avoid the island’s peak crowds.
Your journey begins with a scenic cruise along the stunning Sorrento coastline, where you’ll admire the charming fishing village of Marina Grande and the remains of an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC.
Upon arrival in Capri, you’ll head directly to the famous Blue Grotto. Please note that the visit to the Blue Grotto is subject to weather conditions and high tide.
Get ready to discover Capri’s most iconic coastal highlights from the sea: the legendary Faraglioni, the Green Grotto, the White Grotto and the historic Punta Carena Lighthouse.
Enjoy refreshing swimming stops in crystal-clear waters and approximately three hours of free time on the island to explore Capri at your own pace.
Return to Sorrento is expected around 3:15 pm.
Please note: the itinerary suggested by Viator is not fixed and may vary depending on sea conditions and the captain’s decisions.

5.00We had a wonderful time with Francisco and the MBS team! Francisco was so fun and entertaining and kept us well informed of things. Would highly recommend MBS to others. I could’ve stayed on the boat all day if they let us!
Incredible boat Trip!

5.00MUST do experience! My husband and I both agreed that this was the most fun thing we did while in Italy. I chose this tour because it was all day, stoped at the Blue Grotto, stopped on the island of Capri for three hours, and had time to swim. Giuseppe and our captain were both wonderful. Giuseppe took pictures of everyone in front of the beautiful Faraglioni rocks. He also gave us recommendations while in Capri. Fruit, beer, water, and prosecco were included.
Wonderful boat tour!

5.00Had a wonderful time on this tour! The guide (Giuseppe) was very knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. We got to see the blue grotto which was an incredible experience that we will never forget!! The boat ride was stunningly beautiful. Not tons of time to explore capri but enough to get a feel for it and enjoy lunch and shopping. Highly recommend! Much better than a ferry!!
A must do experience!

5.00It was an amazing experience! Our skippers Roberto and Nino were funny and very entertaining. Nino gave us some of the history of the area and our music for us during our trip. They were very attentive and made the experience very memorable. The views were breathtaking!

5.00Luciano was by far the best tour guide I’ve had in not only Italy but any country I’ve visited. I would take any tour he is the guide for. The entire experience was phenomenal and the highlight of the trip! 10/10 recommend

5.00Great day! Full day filled with boat tour around the entire island of Capri stopping at all of the tourist highlights including Blue Grotto. Tour guide was great and friendly, offering to take pictures and get us drinks. Definitely go in the early morning to avoid lines at Blue Grotto and transportation on Capri. Highly recommend!
Private boat tour

5.00This was awesome! The boat ride was great, as was the swimming. You do have to transfer to smaller boats to see the blue grotto, and to go onto Capri. If you have any issues with your legs, this trip is not for you.
