Overview

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.

The best excursion I've ever taken! Everything was perfect, I have nothing bad to say. We started early, the boats are beautiful, comfortable, and luxurious. We explored all around Capri, went into the Blue Grotto, the various caves—every place was more beautiful than the last. We had time in Capri to explore, eat something, do some shopping, and relax on the beach. Then we continued our tour, seeing more caves and beautiful, iconic spots on the island. And here's the best part: we went swimming in the middle of the boat, there were some beautiful fish, and all of this was accompanied by drinks and fruit. A very special mention for Alex, who was our guide throughout the tour. He was very friendly, funny, and had a great playlist. He told us about the places we were visiting. I never leave a review, but this was truly worth it. If you're looking for a tour to Capri, don't hesitate to choose this one.

Vincenzo and Alessandro were amazing! They were willing to take us on our tour and capri when the weather was at its limits. They took safety very seriously and were able to accordate all of our requests. Ale gave us many recommendations while we were on capri and was a great tour guide. We highly recommend them! Best part of our trip!

If the forecast is for bad weather, you won't be going. They let us know two days ahead of time, which I appreciated. And they offered us another day, but alas, we were already scheduled to go home. We also got a prompt refund. Advice: plan this for early in your stay.
Fantastic 5*

Everything about this trip was brilliant from start to finish. The operator got us across to the grotto nice and early meaning my wife and I were actually the very first boat into the grotto - fantastic experience. Once you get to Capri, it is definitely worth a taxi ride to the Anacapri cable car for fantastic views from the top! All round amazing day. Thank you!

A wonderful small boat tour of beautiful water & sights of Capri. Agatha provided excellent information on both history & today’s island. Blue Grotto was closed due to high tide. Saw other grottos while staying in charter boat instead. Spent more time in Anacapri than Capri due to some people in our group’s interest in having lunch vs sightseeing vs shopping - there was not enough time for everything. It was challenging to get a cab from Capri to Marina Piccola to meet the boat (probably due to driver not being able to readily get a customer/fare from drop off point.) Blue bus to Marina Piccola did not regularly return to bus station. Enjoyable boat ride from Sorrento to Capri. Water was choppy with windy conditions & sea spray on trip back.

The trip is definitely an absolute highlight. A very skillful Skipper Vincenco, and very friendly supportive Crew (Agata) providing all the necessary Information for you to plan your island tour, especially with Seniors in the group. The provisioning was excellent, Prosecco, freshly made fruitsalad, water, etc.
