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.

5.00Better yet: We deserve to go with the best travel agency in Chile. Because Capri doesn't visit with rushes, lists or groups of 40 people. You live with calm, context and someone who already knows every corner... Like Carmen Gloria and the entire Dream Travel team. 👉 If your answer was the same as mine... Write me in the direct. I give you the dates, the keys to avoiding crowds, and the only payment plan that respects your peace of mind. Because in 2026, We don't just want to go to Capri. We want to be others again. #Capri2026 #DreamTravelChile #We DeserveThis #ItalySouth2026 #TravelLikeLocal #EuropeWithSoul #CarmenGloryAccompaniesYou #ChileTravelWell

5.00We really enjoyed this trip. We mainly booked it for the boat which was fantastic: a small group tour on a 32 ft boat. The two crew members were a lot of fun. It gave us an excellent view of the Sorrento coast. We couldn’t get into the Blue Grotto but were able to get very close. We saw the Green and the White Grottoes. It was off-season (early November) so much of Capri was shut but it was still pleasant walking around the streets. We would highly recommend this tour.

5.00Worth every cent. The crew led by Enrico were exceptional, under promising and over delivering every moment of our day.
A good day

5.00We were 2 couples spending 10 days in Sorrento. This was a great day with a fabulous boat trip to Capri with our great captain, Antonio at the helm. We got there quite early before the crowds. We took the individual cable cars up to Anacapri and was quite relaxed. There were some little artisan shops to look around and some bars to have a snack and a drink. The only downside to this visit to Capri was that we didn’t have time to visit Capri town as well. We then took the boat to the Blue Grotto sea cave. It was busy and we waited for around 90 minutes before it was our turn to enter the cave. You have to transfer to a small rowboat and go through a narrow, low entrance which was a little nervy. Once inside, the reflected sunlight gave the water in the cave a fantastic blue glow, we’ve not seen a colour like it before. Our guide, Frederica was lovely and friendly and helpful. One negative point, the description of the tour implied that Prosecco would be an option on the boat but we were just offered bottles of beer. Just a small point but still worth taking the trip.
What a day to be remembered

5.00Such a fun, well-organized day. From every crevice and grotto, to always being enthusiastically informed of where we were, what was in each direction, to the choreographed excursions to Anacapri and Capri, with choices of how to spend time - a completely wonderful experience. Our guide was the best - she did such a great job shaping the day into such a deeply memorable one. Thank you!
Beautiful, but disappointing

3.00Overpriced. The crew was very nice and helpful. The circumstances were not their fault. Did not get into the Blue Grotto due to rough seas. The whole reason for booking this excursion was to go into the Blue Grotto. I truly believe the best customer service would be to give a partial refund if the grotto is closed for the day. It was the most disappointing day. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and we paid a lot of money just to go to Capri and spend more money for lunch and a bit of souvenir shopping. Complete waste of a lot of money. I would not recommend this tour.
10 Star experience with Agatha!
