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 great experience with Flavio as our guide! This half day tour was great — all the grotto stops, plus fresh fruit & beverages. The Blue grotto was open the day of our tour with an unusually short wait. Flavio gave us a great tour of all landmarks with swimming and snorkeling stops. He is a very good host - taking photos for the groups and really giving a great tour. Fantastic
Best tour we did. And we did ALOT!

5.00There are not enough words to describe how wonderful this trip was. Very professionally run at check in given lots of boats were departing. Left early to get a great spot at the blue grotto both our guide and the captain were just wonderful and made sure we had a brilliant day. Got this as a gift for my friend who was celebrating her birthday and it could not have been more perfect. Just the right amount of time seeing the island from the boat, exploring Capri and swimming. I would highly recommend this tour it has been the highlight of our Italy trip
Best Boat Trip Ever!

5.00This was by far the best boat based excursion we did. Of course Capri is stunning but it was the crew who made the difference. Bruno (the guide) and the captain who I am sorry I don’t remember his name but Bruno called him Mellon Head 😄 were fantastic. They got us to Capri early so we beat all the crowds, were both knowledgeable about Capri pointing out lots of places along the way. For me though the music that the Captain played at different spots along the route was fantastic - it was awesome - I will not spoil the surprise but it made the whole thing feel really choreographed and at times like you were in your own little movie - even the people in the other boats were applauding. Thanks for an awesome trip!
Energetic, Knowledgeable, Thrilling!

5.00This was a great experience overall. It would’ve been great to have towels provided for instead of bringing your own. Otherwise, the trip was an awesome experience in the grotto was definitely worth paying more for.
Lovely

5.00Best day ever!!! We had such an amazing day! The views, the blue grotto, and swimming in the sea made for an incredible experience. We were so lucky to have Alessandro as our boat captain! He was so kind, fun, knowledgeable, and really ensured everyone was well taken care of and having fun. He was truly a 10/10 captain, and it really was a 10/10 excursion! I went with my sister and niece, and we all agreed that this was the best day of our vacation!!!
Excellent morning with...
